Mr. Dunlap: Some five or six years ago I sold a number of hundred bushels to canneries at 60 cents per hundred pounds. Whether they can afford to pay that or not I don't know. I haven't sold any to them for several years now. In fact, I should judge they couldn't afford to pay that for them because they went out of business.
Mr. Brackett: In other words, they can't pay over 35 or 30 cents a bushel?
Mr. Dunlap: I don't know what they can afford to pay.
A Member: We had a canning factory that paid 40 cents a bushel of 50 pounds, that would be 80 cents a hundred.
Mr. Brackett: Are they still in business?
A Member: Yes, sir.
Mr. Sauter: We had one that paid 52 cents a bushel.
Mr. Dunlap: If they were to can these apples in Illinois and ship them up here they have got to pay freight to come in competition with your apples.
Mr. Sauter: I sprayed last spring first with lime-sulphur, and my sprayer worked fine. I had a hand sprayer, but when I mixed the lime-sulphur and the arsenate of lead it almost stopped up. What was the matter, was it the mixture or the sprayer?
Mr. Dunlap: Most all of these mixtures when you put them together ought to be more or less diluted.
