Act to provide for the marking and in-

for sale,” it is provided as follows: 
“16. The Governor in Council may 
make such regulations as he considers 
necessary in order to secure the efficient 
enforcement and operation of this Act; 
and may by such regulations impose pen- 
alties not exceeding $50 on any person 
offending against them; and the regula- 
tions so made shall be in force from the 
date of their publication in the Canada

2. Any inspector charged with the 
enforcement of the Act may detain, for 
the time necessary to complete his in- 
spection, any shipment of fruit, in re- 
spect of which he has reasonable grounds 
for believing that the marking of the 
package, or the packing of the fruit, 
constitutes a violation of the Act; such 
fruit shall at all times be at the risk

any inspector detaining fruit shall give 
the owner, where ascertained, notice that

fruit for sale, contrary to the provisions 
of the Act.

GENERAL NOTES 
(a) For Inspectors 
Inspectors will not examine particular 
lots of fruit at the request of buyers or 
sellers. When not under specific direc- 
tions, inspectors will use their discre- 
tion as to where they can best employ 
their time within the district assigned 
them. 
Inspectors will avoid anything which 
would delay unnecessarily the movement 
of fruit or which would interfere with 
the interests of those concerned in the 
fruit trade, except in so far as action 
may be necessary to prevent violation 
of the Act. 
Packages which have been inspected 
are to be closed by the inspector and left 
in marketable order after examination, 
unless the owner prefers to take charge 
of such opened packages. 
(b) For the Grower 
If the grower sells his fruit unpacked, 
the Act does not apply to him in any 
particular. 
If he sells his fruit in uncovered bar- 
rels or boxes, the Act requires only that 
the top of each package shall be no bet- 
ter than the fruit throughout the pack- 
age. 
If the grower packs his own fruit he 
accepts the responsibility of the packing, 
as described in the following paragraph: 
(c) For the Packer (the Owner at the 
Time of Packing) 
Section 320 of the Act requires that 
the person who owns the fruit when it 
is packed in closed barrels or boxes must 
mark plainly on each package: 
1. His name and postoffice address. 
2. The name of the variety of the 
fruit. 
3. The grade of the fruit, whether it 
is “Fancy,” “No. 1,” “No. 2,” or “No. 3.” 
If he marks the package “Fancy,” the 
fruit must be practically perfect, as de- 
scribed in section 321 (b), (i).
