Rigorous Inspection Of Fruits.

The State Department is in receipt of q
communication from Consul General Guen-
ther, at Frankfort. Germany. stating that
under the German law dried fruits which
have been treated with sulphur are con-
sidered injurious to health and are sub
ject to confiscation. The consul general
also says that reports of the Chemical,
Technical and Hygienic Institute of
Frankfort relative to samples Of dried CAL
nornia apricots showed that one of the
samples contained O03376 per cent of sui
phurous acid and the other 0.lS2 per cent.
These samples were not shipped direct
from California, but were procured from
middlemen.
II the authorities become aware of the
presence OF sulphur not only will the fruit
be confiscated, but the dealers rather than
get into trouble with the German authori-
ties viii discontinue the trade.
The consul general concludes by stating
that Germany's importation of California
fruits Is steadily increasing. and advises
United States exporters to be careful to
conform with the German laws, which
will obviate the necessity Of confscation.
