WESTERN TOMATO CROP SHORT.
The manager of large canning es-
tahlishment says that the tomato crop
of the West suffered severely from ex-
cessive wet weather, and the output of
the pack is uncertain. AS to Western
corn, he says the pack will naturally
be much smaller this season. as the
acreage was reduced fully fifty per
cent. A large quantity of corn was
carried over last year. The low prices
that have been made in certain sec
tions. he says, has been done to get
rid of the stock carried over before the
national pure food law goes into effect
on January /. After that date much of
this carried over stock could not be dis
posed of. as it was not put UP in ac-
cordance with requirements of that

oil invoiced at Florence, Italy,
Vice Consul Bernardo reports that
that after personal investigation he is
warranted in stating that there has not
been any misbranding of olive oil ex-
ported from that district to the United
States during the past thirty years
The Vice Consul writes:
The twelve olive oil exporters Of
Florence (whose names are furnished)
are too proud of their product, which
has the highest reputation for excel
lence and purity, to do anything with
the oil or its preparation for market
that would interfere with its estab-
lished reputation. Olive oil shipped
from this consulate retains the taste
of the fruit, is of edium density and
has a yellow -greenish color, different
from the color of lower grade olive oils
used mainly for kitchen and not for
table purposes"
In reply to an inquiry. DR.. H W.
Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemis-
try. Department of Agriculture, states
During the last two years we have
found that the olive oil imported was
practically all pure. The fact that
other oils are sold as olive oil under
foreign labels in this country has
caused considerable misapprehension
on that subject We have round that
labels are imported from France and
Italy and attached to packages of oil
partly or entirely manufactured ia the
United States, and in some instances
foreign packages are initiated in the

Nothing can be more obvious thnn

But OF all the evils that afdict us the

racks it lnw0rdly. OF the two worry
is probably the worse. This might in
