OYSTER Dealers Warned.

Washington. D G. September 2o:-
With the opening of the oyster sea-
son the food and drug officials of
the department of agriculture have
given notice to those who ship oys-
ters in interstate commerce that
thev will continue their active in
spection to prevent shipment Of
polluted oysters or shipment OF
shucked oysters that have been SOAK
ed to iucrease their bulk.
Those in charge of this work re-
port that the oyster trade in genera!
has expressed desire to cooperate
with the department in obtaining a
grade of oysters free from adultera-
ton of any kind. Many have asked
the department to suggest method
of washing oysters without spelling
them to an extent that constitutes
adulteration under the regulations.
The departments answer to such
inuuirers is that dealers are entirely
able to determine for themselves
wheter or not any particular method
Of washing results in an appreciable
increase in the volume of the oys-
ters or in the amount of juice that
normally should be present.
