These harmful substances are soluble in oils, and therefore the first remedy thought of was to apply ’the oil to the surface of the apple. This was effective in preventing facial blemishes, but, like some other comâ€" plexion aids, the remedy was as bad as the disease. _ The apples had a greasy look which did not appeal to the buyer, It was then thought to apply the oil to paper wrappers, and this method has been tried out with great success. or barrel of apples in storage, onl this case it removes from the ap the substances which not merely ; them their flavor, but also, cause impairment of the skin which, w the apples are removed from stor results in scald. _ It was found that barrels of apples, composed of samples from several | orchardists, showed variable keeping qualities after having been removed [from storage, some of the apples | scalding badly within a few days, | while others kept their fresh comâ€" plexions very well. iping them to France in refrigerator ships, placing them again in cold storâ€" age there, and withdrawing these specimens of prize fruit from time | to time for exhibition purposes. The reasons were investigated and it was found that though conditions of picking and storage had much to do with the presence or absence of scald, the essential factor was still hidden. The matter was permited to rest for several years, however, as the department‘s recommendations â€" to pick apples only when well ripened, to store them at a temperature of from 81 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and \ And now comes the thoroughly hardâ€"headed and practical scientists who, discarding any opinions about \the value of oil to human complexions, pronounce it of decided value to those of apples. For the beauty of an apple is also more than skin deep, although the skin is its visible manifestation, and recent research has shown that oil applied to the apple in the form of an oiled wrapper is most useful in preâ€" venting apple scald, the skin disease of storage apples, which is one of the chief causes of loss to all who proâ€" duce or deal in them.
