MILLIONS LOST TO FRUIT MEN

CALIFORNIA Growers IN Panic over a
New Ruling.
Chico, Cal, Aug 15.-Unless the sus-
pension of the anti-sulphuring restric-
lions imposed by the pure food COM
mission upon tie fruit growers of the
west, is granted at least for this sea.
son thousands of dollars will be lost
to the growers and packers of Califor-
MIA, This is practically the sense or
the meeting of the fruit growers of
Chico, Durham and vicinity held last
evening to discuss the situation. A
thorough consideration of the whole
affair soon impressed the fact upon
the growers that this is the most SCI
Gus problem That has confronted tle
orchardist of the state in many years.
Important among the eommunica-
tons read at the meeting was one
from a large Los Angeles packing
house declaring that it would not
accept the dried' peach shipments
from Chico, owing to the agitation on
the sulphur question threatening its
eastern markets.
A like communication from the
California Fruit Protective associa-
ton of San Francisco, declared that
the assurances of the department of
agriculture that the minimum use of
sulphur would be all did not by any
means settle the question, as each
state has a pure foods commission.
which can seize any of the sulphured
goods, confiscate them and impose
penalties.
A. 7. Lowe one of the largest dry
ers in Butte county, reported that
where two years ago he dried 100000
pounds of peaches, this year he has
refused to dry one pound, owing to
the threatened condition of the mar.
ket.
He also stated that during hurried
period last season he rushed several
tons of Muirs and Crawsords through
the sulphur houses. giving each con
signment only six-minute bath. The
Crawrcrds rotted on the trays and
the Muirs nodded Drying cannot
be done without sulphur, he declares,
G. M. Gray, stated that four or five
years ago sulphuring was not used on
the Bidwell estate, and that the
worms entered the fruit and these
were killed by sulphuring in a bin.
H. Losee declared it was a case of
sulphuring the fruit while drying, or
of the public eating the worms in the
fruit unsulphured.
A. G. Simpson held that the whole
matter has been caused largely by re-
sulphuring by the packers, who steam
the peaches, and before they have
have dried again, packed and shipped
them in boxes A. T. Lowe said this
was to enlarge the size of the peach
and increase the weight, securing a
profit for the packer.
Simpson held that when the peaches
are dying, the sun draws much of the
Injurious effects from the sulphuring.
Colonel Royce, H. B. Reed and others
declared the important point was the
suspension of the restrictions for this
season. w. J. O'Connor was dele
gated to represent the Butte county
fruit growers at the conference with
Secretary Wilson, and the growers
will send samples of peaches. the
hours in bath, amount of sulphur used
and other data.
