TELLS RIGHT WAYS TO MATURE FRUIT New Manual Is Issued for Dealers In Late Varieties of Pacific States Work of Professor Hartman Comet method of ripening lata sad wlntar jwara are described In a. new nnul publlehed by the Oregon- I Washington-California Peer Bureau ! (or the Information of deslen who handle the peer grown In the three Pacific coast states. The proper ripening of' peara hu been made the aubject of Intensive tudy of Prof Henry Hartman, hor ticulture for the bureau and for Oregon 6'ate college. For the paat year hta research has dealt largely with the effect of air circulation and temperatures In ripening rooma. Hla atudlea deal with the different characteristic of the principal va rieties of winter peare. with relation to ripening. In discussing the meth ods which have been found most suc cessful, he says: Brings Out Flavor "To obtain the flavor characteris tics of late pears, It la often necess ary that the fruit be given special ripening treatment following cold storage. Some varieties do not ripen at all at cold storage temperatures. This la particularly true of Beurre Base, Howell and Doyenne Du Cornice. Varieties such as d'AnJou, winter Nells and Beurre Easter will usually ripen at fairly low temperatures If given ample time, but even In the case of these sorts, the quality la su perior when warm temperatures are provided during the final stages of maturation. Late pears can be re moved from cold storage and ripened at any time during the normal life of the variety. "All late pears ripen well at tem peratures between 60 degrees and 70 decrees T. but to obtain the beat results, It Is recommended that ripen ing rooms be maintained at 60 de grees p. (15.8 degrees centigrade). At this temperature they will ripen a little slower than at higher tempera tures, but they will develop better color and better quality. Ripening rooms should be kept In a fairly humid condition at all times. This can be accomplished by keeping the floors moist or by means of mechan- leal humidifiers. j "Ripening rooms do not need ven- j tllatien. In fact, they function best , when kept closed at all times with- j out renewal of the Inside air. This Is due to the fact that certain gaseous substances given off by peara are an aid to ripening. When these gases are confined and are not permitted to escape, ripening takes place more uniformly and at a more rapid pace. This does not mean that air circu lation within the ripening room Itself should be avoided. On the contrary, air circulation, such as Is provided by means of fans operating within the room, tsnds to distribute the gases and to provide more uniform temperature conditions. Install Ripening Rooms. "Ripening rooms for pears are now feeing Installed In the principal do mestic market and are available to the trade at a nominal cot. In case regular ripening rooms are not avail able, however, other means may be secured. Ripening rooms such as art used for the ripening of bananas are satisfactory for late pears snd most Pears will ripen fairly well under living room conditions. When the prevailing temperatures are fairly high, they will ripen out of doors. ' "Failure to ripen properly Is fre quently experienced when late pears are merchandised during the cold months of the year and It is espe cially desirable that r'.pe nlng be given attention during these months." Included In the new manual are color plates showing the leading win ter pear varieties In their natural colors, before and after ripening, to- ,, description of variety and the season when I at its best. each each FOREST PERMITS E Application! for permits to rcct summer cottages In recreational areas of the Rogue River national forest re being received at an ac celerating rate, headquarters here stated today.
