NO BUSHEL OF APPLES

Madison Jurist Dismisses Case, Saying
Wisconsin Law Is Unjust and I'm
possible to Comply With.

Madison, Wis. Dec. f. Especial
There is no such thing as a bushel
of apples under the Wisconsin law.
It is fictitious measure, said
Judge Fehlandt in Diminishing for
costs the case against Samuel Daw-
son, charged with giving short weight
in selling apples.
1t is impossible to grow apples
that will weigh fifty pounds to the
bushel and yet the Wisconsin law
says that there must be fifty pounds.
Such law is unjust and is utterly
impossible to comply with. -
Dawson is said to have sold a
bushel weighing thirty nine pounds,
which is only fifty pounds less than
the maximum number it is possible
to crowd into a bushel.
