SECRETARY WILSON LENIENT
THE SUGAR CANE GROWERS OF
LOUISIANA UP AGAINST THE
PURE FOOD LAW BECAUSE OF
THE USE or SULPHUR BEING
UNLAWFUL.

New Orleans, Jan. 1.-THE fact
that probably nearly all sugar cane
syrup and molasses output of Louis
lana of last fail is unmarketable under
the strict Interpretation of the pure
food law is brought out in the cores
pondence made public here today be-
tween Secretary Of Agriculture viii
son and the Louisiana sugar dealers
The dealers pointed out to Secretary
Wilson that for fifty years sulphur has
been used in this state In treating
cane juice for Qualification and that
because of the widely published but
erroneous statement last fall that the.
department of agriculture would per-
nit this use Of sulphur to continue,
the crop which lis to be marketed DUR
ing 1907 was made in the old way.
In few instances this product has
already been refused by those who
contracted to take it. the contractors
fearing the law. Secretary Wilson In
his reply said lit is the purpose of
the department where goods had al
ready been manufactured by methods
in common use before the law had
gone into effect to give the very great
est possible freedom under the law
for utilization Of those goods, but
Wilson pointed out that the use of
sulphur Is unlawful at least as applied
in most OF the Louisiana cane syrup
products.
