A few years ago a mechanical pressure tester was used. This instrument registered the pound pressure necessary to force a plunger into 'the 'fles'h of the apple a fraction of an inch. It was in reality the "thumb test" reduced to a mech- anical basis. But like a good many machines, its accuracy depended on the operator's skill, Several types of these instruments have been tried 'and may still have a limited use but as a test for picking maturity they leave much to be desired, 'Chemical analyses of apples have shown that certain changes are going on in the apple asit approaches mat- urity. One of these is the gradual, dis- appearance of the starch which has accumulated in the fruit during the preceding two or three months on :the tree. I•t has been found in Austra- Iiaand New Zealand and con:flrmed by the' laboratory' at Rentville` that the starch content at harvest of some var- ieties of apples has a decided influence on the development of storage pit as well as their general quality. The two varieties Gravenstein and Cox Orange have 'responded excep- tionally well to the iodine test for starch as an indication of picking ma- turity, The test is simple to perform and worthy of trial by growers who wish to market these varieties in their best condition. 'To conduct the test a representa- tive sample of 25 or more apples are picked. The Fruit is cut in half and dipped for about half a minute in a potassium iodide - iodine solution. This solution is made up of 1 -gram, of potassium iodide, one-quarter gram of metallic iodine in 100 cubic centi- meters of water. After dipping the cut surface of the fruit in the solution et is removed and placed with the treated surface up to let the colour develop. The iodine solution turns starch a blue -black. For the best pick- ing maturity there should be m0 starch in the core area and one-half or more of the rest of the flesh of the apple should contain no starch. In other words, one-half or less of the flesh outside tite core area should turn blue -black, but if there is no blue col- our the apple is over mature, 'This method of testing is not offer- ed as a cure-all for our storage troubles of fall varieties of apples, In our experience, however, the fruit harvested at a time when the starch was present only in a part of the flesh, as suggested above, was super-. ler in storage life and quality and freer front storage pit to the earlier harv- ested fruit. Seed colour is mot a re- liable index of fruit maturity. !Knowl'ed'ge makes humble; ignor- ance talks pour.
