Producers of Iowa Intend
To Demonstrate the Fact.
Des Moines.-Iowa can grow as
fine apples as Washington. Oregon,
and other much-advertised states, II
the people were only wise to that
fact. That they may know that 1t is
fact, an exceptionally fine apple show
will be held at the state house the
second week In December. The an
nual meeting of the state horticult-
ural society will be on at that time
and while there has always been an
apple show in connection with the
meeting of the society. the show this
year will be something exceptional.
The exceptional and interesting
feature of this years show will be
exhibits of boxed fancy apples. 1t
Is the plan of Secretary Wesley
Greene and others in charge of the
show to have numerous boxes Of
choice Iowa apples, which have been
packed by an expert, on exhibition.
An expert will be present at the
show to demonstrate how to pack
apples In the most approved fashion.
One Of the glories Of the Oregon
and Washington apples has been the
manner Of their packing. When 1t
comes down to solid facts their APP
pies are not better than Iowa ap-
pies. But they look better in the
boxes and so people get the idea that
they are better. 1t is only the pow
er OF suggestion. Iowa apple enthu-
siasts have decided that they will
use little of this power of sugges-
ton to demonstrate what Iowa can
do in the apple growing industry.
One of the big features of the
state horticultural meeting will be
the discussion of Wesley Greene's
proposition for state fruit exchange
similar to those operated in Calf
ornia and Florida. It is believed that
much good will result for the Iowa
fruit industry II an exchange is es-
tablished In this state
Board Of Health Has Full Power.
A city board OF health may decide
to disinfect every residence II II
thinks such proceeding would
benefit the public health, and the
county would have to stand the ex.
pense. In decision filed by the SUI
preme court reversing the lower
court in the case OF S. II. Sawyer,
health officer for the town of Eldon
against Wapello county. Sawyer sued
the county for services in disinfect-
ing numerous buildings In which per.
sons had been sick with contagious
diseases, but not quarantined. The
county argued that II did not have to
pay for disinfecting except those that
had been quarantined. I'm our judg-
ment that is too narrow a construc-
ton Of the statutes the court says.
Its entire purpose is to protect the
public from the evil effects of infec-
tious or contagious diseases, and it
Is made the duty of the board OF
health to make such provisions as
shall, in its judgment, best afford
such protection, and to this end the
board Is given absolute control over
the diseased persons and over the
premises they occupy at the time It
is just as incumbent upon the board
to protect the public by the exer-
else Of authority over the building
as II Is the exercise of authority over
the person. The statute leaves It
with the board Of health to determine
what infectious or contagious dis
eases are a menace to the public
health, and provides that the board
shall also determine what steps shall
be taken to best protect the inhab,
itants therefrom."
