I Ship Perfect Fruit. ! The fruit inspector of King county, Washington, is having jj his troubles, as well as fruit in spectors in Oregon. Recently it became necessary for him to burn several hundred boxes of Washington fruit, becaftise, of carelessness of the growers. One shipment ot 2S0 boxes f rom Zillla, Washington, was found to be wormy a ml covered with fungis growth, another shipment of f0 boxes from the same district was found to be wormy, and a ship ment of 50 boxes of peJtrs from the Okanoo;aii country, on the upper Columbia, was found to be covered -with scale and was wormy. This brought the total up for the week l 700 boxes of Washington fruit and 400 boxes California fruit that had been destroyed in thg Seattle market. This has been practically the ; first of the Washington fruit that has been destroyed, al tl'ujdi more than 4500 boxes of California fruit has been con- I signed to the fiery furnace. This sort of fruit shipments f on the part the grower means ; only one thing for him, and it t tjhat is bankruptcy. With all X tlieassistajftcethatthefruit grow- er litis at hand fr fighting the pests, wiyi all the stud' that is s iu .1 : c r : j. v. i v . I jjiveii nits vnseasesui iruit uy uie Agricultural colleges, it seems such negligence is little Short of criminal, as it not only ruins the refutation of the grower himself, but which is far more reaching, ruins the reputation for his district, which is doubt less undeserved. One or two growers in a district who persist in sendinsT out fruit that, is enn-. , tinned upon the markt't soon f bad reputation, and it thereof e I becomes the guty df the growers ; of that district to see that the state laws are properly enforced - Oregon Agriculturist.
