FRUIT FOR HOME MARKETS.
METHOD OF CARRIAGE. By Cable.—Press Association—Copyright London, April 10. At a meeting of the Cold Storage and Ice Association, Mr. F, Moore read a paper on fruit and refrigeration. The correct temperature to carry apples was about 33 Fahr,, with no greater range than two degees each way. Some fruits carried better if pre-cooled. This was unnecessary for apples, but very desirable for pears. They must look beyond the refrigerating engineers before they could rely on receiving antipodean fruits. At the best they must not expect refrigeration thoroughly to preserve fruit which was not in the best ■condition when it reached the refrigerator. Not sufficient importance was attached to the> proper time of gathering fruit and its treatment afterwards.
Sir Thomas Mackenzie presided at the meeting.
