The distinctive flavor of each variety was readily detected in the flakes. The snappy, high-acid, and fruit-ester taste of the Wineeap greatly contrasted with the low-flavored taste of the Ben Davis. UTILIZATION OP THE PRODUCT The product having been obtained, what is the most practical way of handling this food for the army? As the flakes came from the drier, a carton measuring 3x2x1 inches, with paraffin wrapper, was used to hold the crisp and dried product of one apple of the 125-box pack size. It was found that the product from four such apples could be placed in one of these small Doxes by breaking up the flakes. The flakes are at present being put up in sample form in these boxes, with 30 grams per box. This is equivalent to approximately 300 grams of apples, without the core or peeling. Thirty grams of dried product in these 3x2xl-inch boxes is equivalent in food value to 492 grains of apples in the bulk, oi 4.8 apples measuring 8 inches in circumference. This estimate is cased uponL comparative weights of peeling, core, and meat as obtained by the use of a small-sized commercial type of peeler, 10 18 H o w or hJl T ^ ?
