The apparatus ciple of a common nursery toy, cardboard disk with several color: ranged in a cencentric varying shades. our discs, red, yellow, gray, and black are used in the Purdue instru- ment, adjusted so that when spun various colors may bhe obtained at will. They may be set to reproduce the shade of red in tomatoes which sell for the best price. The higher price commanded by the choice col- or is not due mercly to appearance, but in part to the degree of ripe- ness that goes with the right red shade. Not cvery grower's eye is equally expert in sclecting the red that indicates the best degree of flavor, especially in tomatoes picked in time to ship to canners. Many Indiana canners have estab- lished an extra price for quality, but they have had no uniform color in County | applies the prin- | aj ring. When | spun the toy diso colors merge into | standard that might be applied both in the flelds and in packing. The Purdue color standard has been given to the industry. It was devised by Dr. John H. MacGillivray of the horticultural staftff of Purdue, He fixes th relations between color anr ripeness by making pastes of various sections of tomatoes and testing their shades with the color apparatus. The strongest ved is found in the outer wall, directly un- der the skin and in the inner con- necting walls. The pulp about the seeds has the poorest color. When ripe, the tomato shows very little diffeffrence in color of the various sections.
