As such a manner of judging fruits would entail a great deal more labor 

 than the plan now adopted, I suggest that only one judge be appointed in each 

 section, instead of three as at present, and that this one judge be an expert, and

 to the three. In this way there would be sufficient compensation for the work 

 done, and better work would therefore be secured. One judge would work 

 almost as fast as three, and, if properly paid for his time, could afford to do the 

 work well.

 in all cases.
