CAN STOP DECAY IN APPLES
Government Investigators Find Rea,
son Fruit Spells, and the
Remedy.

Portland, Ore.-Lovers of apples will
be interested in the conclusion reached
by government investigators that de,
cay of this fruit in cold storage can
be prevented through the destruction
of the a~nthracnose germ by the use OF
the well-known bordeaux mixture,
This conclusion is the result of ex,
tensive experiments made by B. B.
Pratt of the department Of agricul,
ture and Prof. w. H. Lawrence, a lo
cal investigator of apple growing.
The anthracnose pest has been
known to orchardists for years, and
formerly it was the custom to chop
down the trees that became infected.
The work of the investigators brought
the remedy several years ago, how
and various infected orchards
were sprayed and cleared of the am
t%hracnose and so made into good pro-
ducers again. Apples, even from these
orchards, when subjected to cold stor.
age, however, showed decay and
proved that the trouble had not been
fully conquered. The result was the
special work by Mr.. Pratt in the gov
eminent laboratory here and Processes
Lawrence, representing the Hood Riv'
er growers.
1t has been found that the mere rid
ding of the trees of the pest is not
sufficient, for the wind will blow the
a%nthracnose from infected orchards
a considerable distance, and a single
spore alighting on an apple Is suft1'
cient to cause decay.

AIMS AT JAIL GOODS
Congress Passes Bill That May

Observation-Disclosures unnoticed the
house has passed a bill which may
mark the beginning of the end of a

against convict-made goods, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post. This bill,
which was introduced by Representa-
tive Booher of Missouri, provides, in
effect, that Fall goods . manu-
featured wholly or in part by convict
labor, or in any prison or reforma-
tory, transported int any state
shall, upon arrival and delivery in
such state, be subject to the opera
ton and effect of the laws of such
state . . . and shall not be exempt
therefrom by reason of being intro
duced in original packages or other
WISE"
Should this pass both houses" said
Julian Leavitt, author of recent mag
azine articles or the prisons of the
United States, cit would root out the
contract system from all the state
prisons in a few years."
The bill has a long and, to labor,
discouraging history. 1t vas original
ly framed by the Industrial commits
sion Of 1900. It has been pushed by
the labor people ever since, but with
little progress until the present con-
gress. Recently, however, it has had
the support not only of the labor peo-
pie, but also of employers Of free Ia
Dor in several states who, as the re-
port of the house committee on labor
affirms, unite in affirming that when
any convict-made product is placed
in competition with the product Of
free labor the market becomes de-
moralized, ven a small sale affecting
prices far out of proportion to the
amount of the sale. Every state OBJ

ular state into which they are i'm.

"The manufacturers" said Repre-.
sentative Hensley Of Missouri, in re.
porting the bill to the house, "look
upon the competition of prison-made
goods from other states as a special
grievance.
