in a box of any other size or shape.
However, all these matters should be
given very serious thought, and
should be thoroughly tested out and
tried.
A box containing 2342 cubic inches
would be half inch higher and a
half inch longer than our present
box, or If the box were made the
same height as at present, it would
have to be one and half inches long
er. In regard to the grading of ap-
pies as proposed in the new bill, it
does not in any way relate to boxed
apples, and. therefore does not Of
feet u.s. We can still continue to use
our grades of Extra Fancy, Fancy
and Choice as at present. The
grades mentioned in the bill are
Standard A, Standard B, and Stand
ard C, and relate to the size Of the
apples in the barrel only. The OBJ
ject being to show on the outside of
such barrels what size apples each
barrel contains. The matter of al
lowing ten per cent for bad or i'm
perfect fruit in a barrel does not in
any way refer to boxed apples.
There is nearly year to consider
this new bill All of the arguments
that are being made for it by the
Eastern people should be carefully
thought over and if it is to our best
interests that this bill should be
passed, you should help in having it
enacted into a law; if this bill is
wrong you should use all your efforts
in having it defeated, and you will
be better equipped to do this if you
carefully investigate the conditions in
the east, where our apples are sold
and also experiment on packing in
the boxes of the proposed size.
One thing is certain, that if ma
tional law is not enacted regulating
the size of barrels, boxes and baskets
for apples, different state legislatures
will enact state laws, and while the
states may not prohibit us from ship
ping our fruit to their markets, they
can mark them "Short Box" after
they reach their destination, If they
do not come up to the standard fixed
by such states.
notice from newspaper reports
that bill has been introduced in the
New York legislature which requires
apples to be sold by the pound, or,
If measured, they shall be sold by the
peck, half bushel or bushel, and that
another bill introduced in the Mime
sofa legislature requires apples to
be sold by the pound.
There may be bills pending in
other states, but these are the only
two have heard of.
You can readily understand the
mix-up we will be in under such laws
as these.
There is almost universal demand
among consumers not only of apples,
but of every other product to have
laws enacted so that they will not be
cheated in the size of the package, the
weight or quality of the contents.
I do not wish you to understand,
gentlemen, that I am undertaking to
dictate to you in any way regarding
the matter, and you all must know
that on account of my position as
president of your association, and
also on account of my large orchard
holdings, I am as anxious as any of
you to get at the facts in regard to
the whole situation, and support such
a measure as Is best for the apple in
dustry, and particularly for the sec

Dean Of Chicago u. Would Isolate
'*"Culls'' and !" Dengenerates'' :
From Society.
Says, they Should be oolonized by
=. Themselves and Thus Allowed
: E~4% ; to Die Off.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Extraordinary
experiments were related and radical
measures advocated at the largest
meeting OF Chicago physicians in the
history Of the city, which was held
at the Grand Pacific hotel for tine
discussion Of the problems or heredity.
Dr.. Davenport's Plan. -
DR.. Eugene Davenport, dean and
director Of the College of Agriculture
OF the university of Illinois, created a
great sensation among the several
hundred doctors when he advocated
the application Of the fundamental
principle of Eugenics for improve
ment Of the human race. His treat
ment of the subject was based not
only on the paper read to- the meet
ing but also on his own vast expert
ence In meeting the practical prob
lens of live stock breeding.
His chief proposal was that all the
"culr' or "scalawags' of the human
race should be taken before the
courts; scientifically investigated, ana
if found unworthy, colonized and al
lowed to die off. Other men who
have devoted their lives to a study
Of heredity in pigeons, evening prim-
roses, guinea pigs, trutle doves, rab-
bits and rats, showed the results of
their experiments in the form Of
stereopticon views or stuedff animals,
and drew >therefrom interesting con-
illusions.
Question to be Considered.
I'VE must first consider that the
end of our breeding is to be-" Dean
Davenport said, whether it is to he
the production of a few superior. in
dividuals or the general elevation of
the race. In the first we must pro-
coed as in the breeding of thorough
bred race horses. In. the second, as
in the production of good average
fat stock for the farm. In the long
run our system Of preferential mating
produces persons of exceptional
talent. Like, mates with like, and
people Of exceptional ability in any
line, musical, artistic, commercial, are
naturally thrown together by their
comomn tastes and unite, thus bring
ing forth phenomenal individuals in
all lines.
Some people advocate better mar
riage laws. Marriage laws. have
nothing to do with it. The only
solution is the absolute prevention OF
reproduction among the culls, human
as we'll as animals. One way is to
colonize thdm. Some people express
adherence at the idea, but do we
not already COLOMBO the insane, and
temporarily, the criminal?
LET Mr.. Jones be taken into court
and his ancestry record be, investi-
gated. If we find his parents were
dominantly bad it 4ineans that he is
SO per cent bad. " IT. his grandparents
We're ais bad: ne, is IS per cent, more
bad, and so on. When he gets to
80 per cent bad. it is certain he
must be colonized. I feel, sure that
this is entirely practical, and hope it
will soon be made a fact"
