veloped throughout the North. with
accompanying high prices. Much of
this shortage Is due, 1t Is claimed. to
the enforcement OF tho Florida state
law prohibiting the shipment of I'M
ripe fruit and the Federal pure food
decision. which prohibits the trans
portauon OF artihcially ripencd or
colored fruit
The Agricultural Department is pre-
pared to act under the pure food law.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. chief of tho
Bureau OF Chemistry, which mas juris-
diction over the matter, stated to-
day that II advised Of any such ship
ments, inspectors would examine the
fruit at destination and take any
necessary action.
Fruit may be picked green and
ripened by natural processes without
running counter to the pure food regu-
lation." said DIR. Wiley. Green fruit
ripened by the sweating process with
the aid of chemicals. or by trans
portntion in steam heated cars. can
not be transported without violation
of the pure food regulations"
Tho order against the artificial
ripening of fruit was issued a year
ago. 1t Is claimed that 1t has had tho
effect OF holding back early citrus
fruits from the North. Florida State
authorities and fruit growers and ship
pers who are conforming TO its pro-
visions have asked the Agricultural
Department to see that 1t is rigidly
enforced.
