Tacoma. Oct. A-Special-Ths state

com-ns ssion men from Seattle and Tacoma
regarding the inspection and condemna-
ton OF wormy fruit The Seattle men
were: Walter Hixen. c. W. Chamberlain.
f. ~ Gordon and J. J. Miles. The Ia
coma commission men were represented
By III. s. HENDERSON and II. H. Hammond
The Seattle men urged that the board ap-
point deputy inspector residing at Sc
attic, who can examine the fruit when IL
arrives. and order the condemned fruit re-
turned 20 the grower. The advantage OF
this arrangement would be that the con-
ssgnor would be the sufferer. and the COM
mission man would not have to stand the
loss OF the fruit. Commissioner Cheadls
has been doing the work. and the dealers
pointed out the injustice which they suf-

had become the property OF the mer-

California fruit causes the most trouble.
The Goblin moth is the insect that does
the damage TO the fruit. The Seattle men
complained that they were being discrim-
mated against by the inspector.
The commission men suggested this way
OF arranging the matter: The board
should Issue circular letter 20 the grow
ers. pointing out the danger OF allowing
infected fruit in the state and quoting tho
law on the subject. The producers would
be warned In the letter that wormy fruit
would be returned TO them with costs Of
transporting both ways. 1t was stated
that this. arrangement would tend TO
greatly diminish the receipts of infected
fruit. The members OF the board express
themselves as pleased with the sugges-
ton. but no definite action was taken
