APPLE Men OPPOSE
BILL N CONGRESS
They Object to Have the Size
of Apple Boxes Regulat:
err, as Planned.
(Eational News Associat toni

SPOKANE, Wash, March 81
Growers of winter apples throughout
the Pacific Northwest, the commercial
orchards Of which contributed IA per
cent of the total production Of the
United States in 1911, already are
lining up their forces to defeat q bill
that is to be brought forward at the
next session of Congress to regulate
the size of apple boxes. The box used
as standard the last 10 years in the
Pacific slope and intermountain coun-
try Is 2.173.5 cubic inches, while the
national apple box proposed in the
Sulzer bill, recently abandoned. spe-
cited 2,352 cubic inches.
Since the bushel measure was figur-
ed out by an English captain Of indus
try, a few centuries ago, a bushel OF
apples has consisted of bushel meas
ure heaping full. with a cone six in
ches above the rim, or 2,747,715 cubic
inches, to be automatically exact: but
on the other hand, the United States
customs oflicials, in the absence Of d.
rect legislation on the subject con-
tended that a bushel Of apples 10 like
any other bushel and should contain
only 2,15O.42 cubic inches. or less than
the Northwestern box.
Now comes a decision by Judge Ma.
| rion DeVries Of the United States
Court Of Customs Appeals, who holds
in brief as follows:
1.-The bushel has come, by usage in
trade and commerce, to be with US the
Winchester bushel Of English law pri
! or to 1926. the date of the adoption OF
the imperial bushel in England. BY a
statute of Anne, A. l. 1901. recognising
trade usage already in force. apples
and pears were required to be sold
by heaping measure; and in the alb
sence of any specific declaration by
Congress as to the contents of 4 bush
ell of apples or the like, it Will be pre-
sumed that bushel OF today in a bush
ell of English law and custom in 1776
and a bushel of apples IL not a struck
Winchester bushel, but that measure
heaped."
