LUMBER WASTED,
SAYS SECRETARY
SHORTAGE CERTAIN UNLESS FOR

Head of Department of Agriculture
Scores Those Responsible for
Careless Handling of Great
Industry
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-"Years OF
waste, careless methods and short
sighted policy in order 10 gain immediate
profits has brought the United States to
the eve of a lumber famine" was the
declaration made by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, who arrived here yester-
day from the northwest
Although the federal government is
doing all in its power to ward off the
peril, having set aside 100000 acres Of
forest reserve lands, the prospective
famine, according to Secretary Wilson,
can be prevented only by the individual
holders of forest lands or by state laws.
THE waste has been incalculable" said
Secretary Wilson, land the increased cost
of lumber at present heralds an impending
famine. The loss by forest fires alone
amounts to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars every year"
In reply to a question as to the proba-
bility of the federal government taking
some action for perpetuating the forests
by replanting, Secretary Wilson said:
'Tt will have to come to that in time,
but the checking of the present peril rests
with the state and through state laws.
The greater part of the eastern and
middle west country now looks to the
Pacific coast for it's lumber, and if the
coast states wish to maintain this profit
able industry in the future they will have
to pass and enforce suitable laws govern
ing it,"

WILL NOT PROSECUTE If TOO
MUCH SULPHUR IS USED
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
MEETS LEADING GROWERS
Government official Desires to Pre-
vent Hardship Resulting from
New l-aw-Jobbers and
Packers Warned
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press!
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. Sat the con-
ference held this morning between Secre-
tarv of Agriculture Wilson and repre-
sentatives of the fruit growers and 1rult
packers from all parts of California sec
retary Wilson, while anxious to prevent
hardship resulting from the rigid enIorce-
ment of the pure food laws, showed that
he thought the California growers ana
naclxers were not anxious enough to help
themselves. and he would not go further
than to say that the government Woulu
NOT prosecute If too much sulphur "ere
found in the dried fruit.
He showed no inclination to protect tne
fruit growers from the enforcement Oh
the law i'll case the contracting Joppets
refused to comply with their contracts
on the ground that the fruit was contra
band. ,,,,
The fruit growers met Secretary Wilson
In the office of the state board or trace
In the Ferry building today and asked
the secretary to relieve them from lhe
enforcement of the pure food laws re-
Gently enacted, so that this year crop,
large portion of which is already drled
under conditions that are now Illegal
could be marketed and several million
dollars worth of fruit made salable. sec
retary Wilson said before the matter had
been presented to him:
''If you go ahead and act according TO
your light, and prepare the fruit as best
you can, will never call on the federal
courts to prosecute you for infringing on
the pure food laws"
Limits Use of Sulphur
The particular law in question is de-
cison of the department of agriculture
that not more than thirty-1ve thou-
sandths of per cent of sulphurous COM
pounds be found on the fruit when on
the market The growers present this
morning demonstrated from an exhibit
made by Fresno county that if only that
amount of sulphurous compound could
be formed in the fruit enough sui
phur could not be found In the fumlng
either to keep the fruit from rotting on
the trays or to make presentable, mar
ketable fruit.
They showed dried fruit containing only
that amount of sulphurous compounds,
and it was black and partly consumed by
dry rot, making it a much more un-
healthy article of diet than the average
well dried fruit which contains 125-1000 of
1 per cent.
Colonel Philo Hersey, prominent fruit
drier and packer of San Jose, presented
the general conditions to Secretary Will
son, showing the hardship which would
be caused by the enforcement of the laws
this year on such short notice, saying
that it's enforcement would make unsala-
BILE the whole crop of thousands of
growers.
Secretary Wilson showed distinctly that
he would not yield further than to pro-
tect the growers from government prose-
cutior this year, but would do nothing to
help them from the advantage that might
be taken of their illegal position by the
jobbers
