nro supplied locally for tho reason
that it Ih not always possible to get
tho local retailer to handle only
locally grown stuff. This is no
doubt, due partially to tho fact
that tho pack of the locally grown
products is not generally stanuard

We, the committee on hortieul-
tural products submit .the fo).
j lowing facts and findings: tho re
jsult of careful consideration given
to the various phases developed in
our meetings during tho past two .
days mi homo marketing of fruit i
grown in In ion county; also the
matter of increasing the present
acreage, of apple, cherry and prune
orchards in the county; and in bet
ter en Hum I methods of bearing,
orchards together with the improv
ing of tho methods of packing and
grading fruits with a view to mak
ing same more attractive In ap
pearance, which wo believe would
greatly increase the demand for
homo grown frulls both at homo
and abroad.
Wo recommend the following:
In tho matter of home markets wo
do not find the markets of this
county any different' from, those
of all localities whore any particu
lar kind of fruit is grown.
There- is always much good fruit
that will not make tho necessary
grades required for long distance
shipping and lor.g Keeping, such
fruit is often I (Hi per cent good if
used immediately when It is rlpu,
and properly graded.
We find much of this fruit
roaches the local markets not
properly selected or packed, and
often so packed as to deceive the
merchants who as a rule are will
ing to handle same believing it lo.
be first or second grade fruits and
often pay the seller prices not war
ranted for tho class of fruits they
get. Wo find also that out of
county peddlers tin ring the past
year have worked many deceptive
games to sell apples, pears and
poaches to our homo merchants
and in many cases. hnvo unloaded
truckloads of sueh fruit In Union
county that was gathered from tho
cull piles of t he packing houses
across the mountains to tin west:
on tho nvercha nts which in many
cases was., so Id to tln-m In violation
of the federal and state laws and
the merchants in turn sold same to
consumer;; in violation of-lho samo
laws. Samples of fruit have been
picked up during the past year that
was brought Into the county with
enough arsenic known as spray
residue to kill small children and
would seriously injure Hie health
of grown-ups if eaten without
washing.
Our recommendation is that the
merchant in buying from peddlers
demand that the grade of thoTruIt
contained in the package bo mark
ed by stamping on the outside of
package. Take the name and ad
dress of the peddler and tho num
ber of his truck license and if you
find you have been deceived In
any manner in the grade call In tho
local inspector, have him examine
tho fruit, and If not correct, stopn
will bo taken to get your money
refunded and the seller punished.
In Inlying homo grown fruit the
same -preen nt ions should be taken
