There is apparently some confusion
about the injunction suits Of the gov
eminent TO restrain violations of the
liquor laws. These suits were brought
pursuant to and in exact accord with
the provisions OF the so-called prohibi-
ton enforcement act of October %.
1919. That statute makes it public
( and common nuisance to maintain a
place for the sale. manufacture. keep
ing for sale or bartering OF liquors in
violation OF the war prohibition act.
1T further provides that suits in
Guilty may be prosecuted by the gov
eminent to abate and enjoin such nui-
sances. The United States District
Court is given express power in such
suits to restrain defendants from CON
Quoting or permitting TIE continuance
Of the nuisances and to punish for con-
tempt those who disobey the injunc-
tons"

AMERICAN APPLES PLAY
PART IN EXPORT TRADE
Department Of Agriculture An
nounces Increased Demand.
Information for Growers.

American apples will soon play an
important part in export trade, now
that the war is over, according to
the Department of Agriculture. 1t is
stated by the latter that commercial
apple growers in the United States
must meet increased demands with
out increased acreage. The increased
demand will be due to the reopening
of the export markets.
Little planting of apple trees has
been done by the United States since
1910, says the department. Since
the early sixties western New York
has been the center of commercial
apple production in the United States.
In later years two comparatively new
commercial apple regions have come
into large production, namely, the
Pacific northwest and the Shenan-
doah Cumberland region of Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylvania These two regions pro-
duce about five-eighths of the COM
merciaE apples grown in the United
States. Apples also are grown in
the Piedmont district of Virginia and
in other sections of the country.
Western New York has produced
about one-fourth of the normal apple
crop. The vigor and productivity,
the department says, of trees in that
region. which were planted in the
sixties, cannot be maintained indefi-
nitely and the center of production
may be expected to shift.
