market, I would ask you to keep an eye on Rhode Island 

 Greenings. There isn't an apple selling better in New York 

 City than Rhode Island Greenings. It pretty nearly tops the 

 market. 



One thing you can get good money for is good Northern Spy 

 and Mcintosh. They wanted good apples. He said they very 

 rarely bought anything below A grade. He said, ''We have 

 bought some marks of B grade, when the mark was excep- 

 tionally good and was a good pack." But who handles those 

 good barreled apples, I don't know. I do not know where they 

 go to. If we are going to get that trade, we have got to put 

 our apples up better. There is no question about it, or else a 

 large part of our eastern barreled trade goes for pies and 

 bakers' stuff and for household use. 



And certainly they can't grow anything in the West which 

 can exceed, and I think will hardly equal, our best Spies or 

 Mcintosh, or some of our better varieties. 



In fact, I do not know anything they can grow in the West 

 which is any better than a well-grown, well-colored Baldwin, 

 which isn't too ripe, from Hudson valley or East. I tell you, 

 the Baldwin is pretty good dessert fruit if it is properly grown, 

 and it is a good cooking apple, besides. 



Dr. TwiTCHELL. Recognizing, as we all do with our interest 

 in growing apples, the need of stringent legislation, it seems to 

 me that we never will get results satisfactorily until we get 

 back to some of the underlying facts or principles. 



Enforcement of any law is always dominated by public opin- 

 ion, and public opinion is simply the opinion of the individual in 

 the aggregate. Therefore, we must deal with individuals if we 

 are going to secure the public opinion necessary to insure the 

 enforcement of any law which has teeth in it. The need of 

 law is necessary. It seems to me that there was necessary more 

 thorough work by the inspectors, more general work along 

 educative lines. 



I know that our Commissioner has recognized that fact, but 

 hasn't had the appropriation necessary to do the work which 

 he wanted to do. That is, we must secure, if possible, funds 

 by which and through which men may train men, and they 

 may be sent into all the sections during the apple packing
