the use of cull and undesirable fiutt,
packers pointed out. It has long
been realized that much cull ara
second-grade lruit was lindmg tvs
way uito markets where finest
quality fruit was being offered by
Uieans of truckers. Cull fruit was
old at very low prices in competi
tion with fine fruit irom the same
section. For an almost equal lengtn
of time, it has been realized ‘hat
the best solution to the problem
was manufacture of citrus by-prod
ucts The federal government now
s|)ends about $10,000 annually in its
Citrus By-Products laboratory at
Weslaco seeking to determine prof
itable means of utilization of poor
quality fruit.
It is reliably reported that 2i0.
>00 pounds of cull fruit had been
used thus far this season by a sin
gle canainc plant operating m the
Valley. With several such plants in
operation, it was asserted, the cull
problem would be virtually solved
with a market demand for the can
ned products estabished
