The inhibition of superficial scald in certain varieties of apple, now achieved by the use of the anti-oxidants, ethoxyquin and diphenylamine, can also be achieved by the use of oil-impregnated paper. Previously, this had been done by wrapping each apple individually in an oil-impregnated piece of paper. It has now been demonstrated that this is not necessary. Good results can be obtained by using oil-impregnated strips of paper spread uniformly throughout the carton or bin in which the apples are packed.
