Tried to Evade tHe La-w 



Early in February, the daily press of this 

 country published reports of an attempt to 

 evade the Fruit Marks Act by a well-known 

 Canadian apple man, who has been exporting 

 via the port of Portland, Me. According to the 

 Portland Daily Press, of February 2, the reports 

 were well-founded. That paper stated that W. 

 W. Moore, Chief, Markets Division, Ottawa, 

 spent some days in Portland investigating the 

 case. The investigation showed that one 

 shipper raised the grade mark on two cars of 

 300 bbls. of apples. This was done in Maine 

 because there is no law there forbidding such a 

 practice. The shipment was from Colborne, 

 Ont., and originally bore the marks of grades 

 No. 2 and No. 3, which grades the apples fairly 

 represented. The grade marks, however, were 

 not placed in the customary position on the 

 barrel head. Some of the barrels were marked 

 as follows: 



CANADIAN APPLES, 

 Packed by 



No. 2. 

 , Colborne, Ont. 



Others had No. 3 instead of No. 2. 



The custom is to mark the grade after the 

 name of the packer. The marking of the grade. 

 No. 2, after the words "Packed by," was for the 

 purpose of giving the impression that it was not 

 the grade but a number indicating the packer 

 of that barrel. 



The shipper or his agent marked all the apples 

 previously marked No. 2, No. 1 XXX, and the 

 apples previously marked No. 3, No. 2 XX, 

 placing the marks in the customary place. 

 Mr. Moore watched the agent mark the barrels 

 of two cars and then presented his official card 

 which showed him to be an employee of the de- 

 partment of agriculture. Mr. Moore believes 

 that this is the first attempt that has been made 

 to evade the Canadian law in this manner. 

 Fortunately, it was "nipped in the bud."

Are the only PANACEA for failure— past, present and future. Just 



take a few minutes and read the following one of many 



hundreds of unsolicited testimonials from our customers: 



T, „• Masonvillk P.O., Ontario 



Dear Sir:— 



Aft«r trying an incubator tor two years and epoiling eiglit hatches of 

 eKjrs, I throw the incubator away in disgust, never meaning to try again, 

 knowing that it was not the fault of the eggs, as I raised over 400 under 

 hens, hast December I read Chas. A. Cyphers' book, " Incubation and Its 

 Natural Laws," after which I ordered a Model, which I had to work under 

 trying conditions. First, I only had eggs from pullets mated with cocker- 

 els, mated up only five days before I set incubator. Second, the location in 

 a room that varied from (io to 28; for two days and nights the temperature 

 was at 30 to 32, and your Model only lost one-half degree— from 103 to 102!^. 

 The resuHs are just grand. Out of 71 eggs I got 65 of the strongest chicks I 

 ever saw. All came out on the 20th day, within flvo hours of each other. 

 Two of the eggs I broke. The other four must have died about the 16th 

 day (weak germ). They are now all safe in a Model Colony Brooder, and all Bo 

 as healthy and well aa though it were summer. Temperature insidebrooder 

 steady night and day at <M. Outside blowing and snowing as hard as it can.
