No Lowering Of Apple Standards.

Spokane - Refusal to sanction any
lowering Of the standards Of grade and
pack featured the annual conferences
here Thursday Of Washington fruit
growers.
The wsrmest fight Of the day CEN
tered around an attempt to allow the
putting Of worm-stung apples into the
fancy, or No. 2. grade. The Yakima
Valley delegation led the battle in
favor Of the plan. but was beaten by .
vote Of 100 10 20. the opposition being
championed by the Wenatchee growers.
The fruit men also voted. 30 to 36,
to exclude worm-stung apples from the
&C" grade. In the heated debate that
preceded the vote J. s. Sugrue, Of
Cavere, leader Of the Wenatehee dele
cation, said sentiment in his district
was that eventually there would be
only two grades Of apples, and that the
Wenatchee growers favored the estab-
lishment Of combination grade to In
clude both the fancy and &C" grades.
He urged that the development Of the
industry, preferably by the
growers themselves, would have to be
upon to handle the large ton
mage Of Gull fruit.
