Apple'ShippprsAre Warned Apple shippers are warning growers to observe a new law that provides that boxes must be marked with a statement of the net contents. For merly growers were accustomed to place on the ends of boxes a rubber stamp inscription of the cubical con tents in inches, which in the ease of the standard apple box was 17!l2 cubi cal inches. "I believe it is now necessary under the law," says H. F. Davidson, "that the contents be expressed in terms of iiounds or bushels. In case of apple boxes, the mark should be 'not less than 411 pounds net weight.' or 'con tents one bushel. ' " Applts Sunburn With a calm prevailing, the sunshine of the last week has caused consider able sunburning of apples in mid Co lumbia districts. The apples airected are usually the largest, most perfect specimens on the trees. The sun spots render them unfit for fancy or extra fancy grades, and sorters must place them in C grade or cooking grades. "No matter how hot the sun gets," says H. F. llavdiaon, "an apple will never burn while the wind is blowing, thus producing a constant agitation of foliage and fruit. Hut nearly every year we get a few hot days without the wind, and as a result we get some sunburned apples nearly eery )ear, " o
