How They Do It in New York 



Under date of August 25, 1914, Mr. 

 Calvin J. Huson, Horticultural Com- 

 missioner of the State of New York, 

 issued instructions regarding the han- 

 dling of this year's apple crop as 

 follows : 



To facilitate the marketing of the 

 present apple crop in accordance with 

 the provisions of Chapter 418 of the 

 Laws of 1914, I, Calvin J. Huson, as 

 Commissioner of Agriculture of the 

 State of New York, by virtue of the 

 authority conferred in said chapter, 

 hereby adopt and promulgate the fol- 

 lowing rules and regulations for guid- 

 ance in the enforcement of said act: 



(1) All apples packed in New York 

 in closed packages nuist be marked as 

 required by Chapter 418 of the Laws of 

 1914, except those that are packed and 

 marked in accordance with the pro- 

 visions and requirements of the U. S. 

 Apple Grading Law (Public Document 

 252). If such apples so packed are 

 classified they must be true to the 

 classification. 



(2) Apples in "o])en-headed barrels," 

 baskets or boxes covered with burlap 



or slats that can be readily removed 

 and replaced are not closed packages 

 within the meaning of the statute. 



(3) Transportation companies are 

 not liable under this act for handling 

 apples not properly marked or packecl. 



(4) Where absence of high color in 

 apples is due to sectional or seasonal 

 conditions, such apples will not be 

 deemed to lack "good color foi- the 

 variety." 



(5) Pasters may be used to mark 

 barrels. 



(()) All marks on barrels must be in 

 block letters and figures not less than 

 one-half inch, unless apples are packed 

 under the U. S. Grading Law, in which 

 case they should not be less than one 

 inch. 



(7) .\11 closed packages of New York 

 grown apples must be marked as re- 

 quired by section 2 of the law. which 

 calls for the name and address of the 

 packer, the grade or class of the pack, 

 the name of variety and the minimum 

 size of the fruit. If the apples are not 

 hand picked or are fungous or scabby 

 or wormy or diseased, the package 

 should be so marked as to show the 

 facts. If the apples are not classified 

 the package should be marked "un- 

 classified." If the variety is not 

 known the package should be marked 

 "unknown." 



(8) .\|)ples sold by the grower, 

 "orchard or tree run," for repacking, 

 resale or transportation are exempted 

 under section 1,3, but when such apples 

 are repacked for sale or removed from 

 storage for such sale, they must be 

 marked and graded as provided. 



(9) Conspicuous violations of the 

 law consist (a) in failure to mark pack- 

 ages as recjuired by sections 1, 2 and .3; 

 (b) where the contents of closed pack- 

 ages do not conform to the external 

 markings. 



Northwestern Apples in San Francisco 



A few boxes of Northwestern apples 

 exhibited at the California .\pple Show 

 in San Francisco by F. A. Frazier, in 

 conjunction with the soluble sulphur 

 spray exhibit of the Charles H. Lilly 

 Company, attracted much attention. 

 There were Mcintosh Reds from Bitter 

 Root, Montana, Rome Beauties from 

 Weiser, Idaho, and .lonatbans from 

 Twin Falls and Weiser, also from the 

 Yakima Valley and Hood River. Ai)ples 

 handed to interested visitors and friends 

 by Mr. Frazier resulted in many in- 

 quiries as to where to buy such apples. 

 The satisfaction expressed by many 

 who had an opportunity of tasting these 

 splendid apples suggests the great ad- 

 vertising value of tasting as well as 

 seeing. Possibly we have missed much 

 of the real advertising value of oui' 

 apple shows by not having a provision 

 whereby the best api)les could be snm- 

 liled. It is estimated lliat from 211,(1(10 

 to 30,0(10 people visited this apple show 

 each day of the eleven it was open. 

 Few got out without seeing the North- 

 western apples, and many were the 

 expressions "These are the best apples 

 ill the show."
