FRUIT GROWERS ASK RELIEF.
Secretary Wilson Promises Not To
Prosecute Them For Violation

of the pure food laws recently enacted,
so that this years crop. . large pro.
portion of which is already dried un.
der conditions that are now illegal,
could be marketed and several mil.
lion dollars worth OF fruit made SAL
able. Secretary Wilson said before
the matter had been presented to him:
"If you go ahead and act according
to yonr light. and prepare the fruit as
best you can. will never call upon
the federal court to prosecute you for
infringing upon the pure food laws.
The particular law In question is q
decision of the department of agricul-
ture that not more than thirty-dve
thousaudths of one per cent. OF sui
phur compounds be found in the fruit
when marketed. The growers present
this morning demonstrated from an
exhibit that if only that amount OF
sulphurous compound could be formed
in the fruit that enough sulphur could
not be used in the fumig ating, either
to keep the fruit from rotting on the
trees or to make presentable mar

containing only that amout OF sulph.
urous compounds, and it was black
and partially consumed by dry rot,
