leaving the law as it stands on that point? How many are 

 in favor of adding another grade? — three. 



I do not want to take up any more of Mr. Selby's time. 

 In conclusion I may say that this question of the grading of 

 the farm products is one that is spreading very rapidly. 

 We now have 16 states in the United States that have an 

 apple grading law and there may be more. The principle 

 is being extended to other products. Only about a month 

 ago the National Onion Growers Association at its meeting 

 in Ohio adopted some grades for onions, which they have 

 submitted to the Federal Bureau of Markets for their ap- 

 proval. The New Jersey Bureau of Markets is doing some 

 work on grading of potatoes. They have not given it legal 

 nanetion as yet, but are doing some of the educational work. 

 I feel that the principle is spreading and that the principle 

 is a sound one and that if all growers of the state will con- 

 tinue to give the law the support that they have, and give 

 the inspection service the co-operation that they have, that 

 our apple grading law will be a tremendous benefit to apple 

 growing in this state. 



THE PRESIDENT: Is Mr. Selby present?
