This apple is rapidly gaining new popularity; Mutsu—This is a good one to try! It is a sweet, firm green/yellow multi-purpose variety. Looking for a good baking or sauce apple? Check at a local apple farm or farm market for \utility apples\. These apples were perhaps picked from the center of the tree, away from the sun, and as a result, have not become red enough to pass quality standards. They can be purchased less ex- pensively, but are perfect in flavor and texture for baking. New York apples can now be found on grocery shelves almost year round, thanks to the newly developed controlled atmosphere (CA) storage system. Freshly picked apples are placed in a special room where oxygen is reduced. They are held in this state for a minimum of 90 days, at which time the temperature and humidity levels remain at a critical ratio slowing the normal respiration of the fruit. By more or less putting the apples to sleep, they will remain as fresh and flavorful as the day they were picked. Name a fruit grown in New York State, which comes in a multitude of scrumptious varieties, whose colors range from red to yellow to green. It contains vitamins A and C, natural sugar for quick energy and boasts a mere 70 calories for a medium size. Over 25,000 bushels of this product will be harvested in the next few weeks and sold to processors, retailers and con- sumers around New York and other states. The answer...fresh and flavorful New York State apples. Apples are big business in New York State, the home for over 60,000 commercial acres. Ranking an impressive second in apple production nationally, New York apples find their way into many markets. For example, 39 percent (only the cream of the crop) are sold fresh; the rest are processed into apple products such as can- ned—25 percent; juice and cider—26 percent; the remaining 10 percent are frozen, dried orlised for other purposes. Since when does an apple have to be red to be delicious? New York prides itself on many wonderful all-purpose varieties... and they aren't all red. Top varieties in- clude: Mcintosh—slightly tart but tender, all purpose variety; Rome—slightly tart but firm, excellent baking apple; Red Delicious—sweet, mellow flavor; a good, fresh eating apple; Golden Delicious—sweet, but fairly firm. Try this apple for baking as well as eating; Cortland—mild flavor and tender; a good all-purpose apple; Ida Red—A later variety, tangy but firm; great for both baking and eating. An excellent storage apple; Empire—milk flavor with a firm texture, this excellent all-purpose fruit is a cross combining the best This procedure developed by Cornell University professors has pioneered New York State to lead in controlled atmosphere capacity. The over 350 controlled at- mosphere storage rooms scattered throughout New York State are licensed and regulated by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. Take a Sunday drive; visit one of New York's many apple farms. Some even offer pick-your-own. While you're in apple country, don't forget to pick up some apple cider; after all, what else goes more naturally with Autumn? Social Security Cards As Identifier Despite the widespread use of Social Security number for identification purposes, there is no intention of making it a national identifier, as some have suggested. Neither does its use outside the Social Security program represent a threat to the confidentiality of Social records, as others have speculated. Use of the Social Security number is largely a matter of convenience in a society in which just about everybody has one. The main use for the number is to record Social Security covered earnings and to control subsequent benefits payments. The Social Security Administration has assigned about 295 million nine-digit numbers since 1936. Because no restriction was placed on the use of the number by private organizations, it has been adopted as a readily available identifier for a broad spectrum of uses. Many Federal agencies also use the number. The food stamp and the aid to families with dependent children (AFDC) programs require each member of the family to have a Social Security number. The Internal Revenue Service mandates use of the number as the individual taxpayer identification number for all tax returns and for records of income-producing activities, such as bank accounts or investments.\ The Department of Defense uses the Social Security number as the identification number for military personnel. The information in the Social Security record the number identifies is confidential. When the law specifically authorizes the Social Security Administration to do so, it may release the Social Security number to specified government agencies. When there is no law authorizing such disclosure, information from Social Security records can be released only with the written consent of the number holder. The growing illegal and fraudulent use of the Social Security number resulted in changes concerning its issuance. Since 1978, all applicants for Social Security numbers have been required to present documentary evidence of age, identity, and U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status when they apply for a number. As a result of a 1983 change in the law, new cards are now printed on counterfeit-resistant banknote paper. People who lose their Social Security card should apply for a duplicate as soon as possible. Many employers are reluctant to hire a person who attempts to provide a Social Security number from memory, .
