DRY LAW WILL
CUT CULL DEMAND
I While cider makers and manufactur
! ers of fruit juice beverages were prone
until recently to view the regime of
! prohibition as a stimulus to their in-
ulusirv, today it is ieared that the bus
iness may be killed by the law, which
prov ides that no beverage, containing
in ecxess of one half of one per cent of
alcohol can be sold.
"Unless the present law is modi
fied," declares C. J. Calkins, "the cull
apple business is going to be ruined. 1
figure that (HI tier c nt of the cull ap
ples of the big yield of last fall were
used for fresh cider. The vinegar de
mand of the country will bring about a
consumption of only a limited portion
of the cull apple crop. Under the law,
if a cider manufacturer ships hi prod
uct to a distributor and the latter per
niibf the juice to develop more than
the leiral limit of alcohol, the manu
facturer as well as the distributor can
be proceeded against under the dry
law."
