rlichigan Fruit Growers Adopt
New York Packing Law

one of the most important apple pro-
ducing sections of the state is con-
cerned.
According to the New York law
there are three grades of apples and
they are known as New York Stand
ard Fancy, New York Standard A,
New York Standard b and unclassi-
fed. Every barrel must contain the
name and address of the packer, the
name of the variety Of apples and the
statement as to the minimum size of
apples in the barrel. The New York
law was adopted at the suggestion of
Mr.. r. F. Nyman, an apple expert
from Boston, who is we'll versed in
the marketing of all farm produce.
The directors also at his suggestion
decided to institute a very rigid sys-
tenn of inspection of all fruit sent out
by the Exchange. A contract was en-
tered into between the Grand TRAY
erse Fruit Exchange and the North
American Fruit Exchange with offices
in New York City, whereby the North
American will market the product of
the local exchange for the next five
years, no matter whether the output
be one thousand or five thousand cars
a year. The New York sales agency
is going to try to reach distant mar
kets where Michigan fruit will bring
a premium because of it's fine flavor
This selling agency has representa-
tives in Canada, Great Britain, Ger
many, South America and Cuba, and
will, as far as possible, get the Michi-
gan product into these distant places.
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-02-06

Traverse City-The directors of
the Grand Traverse Fruit and Pro-
duce Exchange on behalf of the
membership Of the exchange have
adopted the New York apple pack
ing law for barrels for the Grand
Traverse region. This is considered
big forward step and means that
the apples shipped out of the Grand
Traverse region henceforth will be
on a basis that will make il possible
to enter into competition where New
York state apples are sold. The New
York law was passed in 1914, and
the apple crop Of that year was the
first packed and shipped under that
law. Many fruit growers in Michi-
gan have felt that Michigan should
have a law equally as stringent as
The New York law and have been
urging that such legislation be taken
up by the present Legislature. The
adopting, however, of the New York
law outright by the Grand Traverse
growers, means that this question is
definitely settled, at least so far as

FRUIT GROWING IN WISCONSIN

EDITOR CENSOR: The fact that no
other locality can produce fruit of bet
ter flavor than Wisconsin, and that or
chards receive little care, and that al
most no effort Is made to market the
fruit, explains why orchards don't paw
as we'll as elsewhere. Men came here
recently for the purpose of buying
Duche apples; the fact was well adj
vertised yet very few availed them
selves of the opportunity to deliver, and
those who did bring in their apples re-
ceived square deal and fair price.
From few trees and few hours work
in picking | received in return Sl3.
There lie going to waste in the city of
Viroqua alone enough apples to fill
number Of cars. The waste is hundreds
Of dollars right here that might be
saved with little effort and proper care.
The same care bestowed on orchards in
the east and the far west would insure,
il practiced in Wisconsin, good yield
of high class apples and money max
ing business. 1t is a useless waste to
permit thousands of bushels of fine
fruit to rot in the orchards here.
Hoping that farmers will appreciate
the chance to save this loss and will at
least carefully market the grand crop
of fruit now ready to gather, and thus
encourage buyers 10 come and get the
fruit, is the object of this note.

Historically, From Bushes Stand

On Thursday last the Lacrosse Lead
er-Press issued special Viroqua edi-
tion, covering nearly four pages of the
sheet, prepared and written by a staff
reporter on the paper. II covered the
field from an early period of the town,
reviewing industries, trade, business,
schools, churches, societies, illustrated
by twenty or more cut3 secured from
the CENSOR office. Altogether it is a
creditable review of Viroqua as she has
been and now is. In addition to the
main write-ups the Press says editori-
ally
Comprehensive and reliable, we be-
lieve, is the information printed bear
ing upon the history and upon the Iaa-
terial and social and civic progress of
the city of Viroqua. This enterprising
community, located in the heart of one
of the most productive agricultural dis
tricts in the state and widely known
for the progressive character of its
citizenship, needs to have but the plain
truth printed about it. No attempt has
been made TO paint a picture of our
neighboring city in the least degree
brighter than the facts warrant. No
word has been written about Virouua
in other than faithful description of the
real Viroqua. II stands squarely upon
its own foundations, perfect example
of what the county seat of one of the
best counties Of Wisconsin ought to be,
an ambitious community that UNDER
takes to provide for itself every form
of occupation, culture, education and
entertainment necessary for the pros
perity and happiness of its members.

Nice Bunch for Road Work

Az the special election held for town
of Viroqua last Saturday, by two to
one vote, 81, 500 was made available for
road work. This with aid from county
and state will give the town about 81
500 for prosecution of road improve
ment. II is understood that the money
will be apportioned to different sections
of the township, as much as possible
being expended on main highways.
Viroqua is difficult town in which to
maintain good road system, there be-
ing so many hills, creeks and gulleys.
The town board is making effort to ex-
pend the money judiciously and where
il will do the most good.
