Inspector Must Inspect. 

 Horticullural Inspector De Sellem has 

 served notice on shipi)ers that in order 

 for his deputies to give shipments of 

 apples an inspection certificate the ap- 

 ples must he actually inspected and that 

 the practice of some shipi)ers of loading 

 a car, hracing it and then calling an 

 inspector just hefore locking the door, 

 expecting the inspector to take a look 

 inside and issue a certificate that the 

 apples therein are of the quality and 

 pack represented, must cease. Mr. De 

 Sellem also again reminds shippers that 

 his otlice must have twenty-four hours' 

 notice thai inspection is desired, as his 

 deputies are very busy and one is not 

 alwiiys immediately available. — Yakima
