Annual Report -6- 



them apple juice and prune juloe» have rejuvenated the entire ornn- 

 berry Indunftry. 



Blueberry inspections for purity aj-aln were cerrlod out in July 

 anrl August nt e snail laborntory In West Granville. This service, 

 egsln on a fee basis, hoa proven very valuable, especially on berries 

 frosen for processors. 



Now thr.t onrrotfl ore being grown successfully In the Sunderland 

 area, a newer type of product Inspection has beccsne ncoescary to serve 

 these prowers. 



In roncl»ia*on, wlt> ever-lncreaolng demnndn for mandatory ship- 

 ping point inspectlono, a self-supporting service, end working with 

 B pre-detemlned budpet, and taking Into consideration the changing 

 seasornl nspects of afn*leulture, we again founci it Impossible to put 

 as much emph^isla on other state enforcoiaent duties as they should have 

 had. Per example, our state apple» potato, "Ratlve" branding laws and 

 need Inspections could only be oared for on a spot check basis. 



As shipping point Inspection is carried out on a fee basis, a 

 better solution would be a revolving fund similar to that in nost 

 other states. This would provide ample funds for seasonal Inspections 

 without har.perlng the other essential sertlcea to agriculture and to 

 consurers by weakening such other Inspection programs*
