BAR AMERICAN APPLES.
Germany Exercised Over the San
Jose Scale.

Berlin, Nov. 20.-The whole of the
revenue force in every German port is
hunting for suspicious American ap-
pies. Several hundred barrels have
already been stopped and sent back
because of a certain kind of scales
which has been discovered to have at
tackled American, especially Californ-
ia, apples. To prevent any possibility
of smuggling of the apples which had
already been rejected by the revenue
officers, every barrel is marked in
large letters announcing that the con-
tents are affected by San Jose scale.
Several American consuls have pro-
tested against this action of the gov
eminent, but as the existence of the
insects has been proven in many cases
the American apples will under no
condition be allowed to be landed in
Germany or imported via Danish or
Dutch ports.

Relatives here and elsewhere have
the earnest sympathy of our people.
