Sale Of Defective Fruit Is
Prohibited.

The state law prohibiting sale or
shipment of wormy or diseased
fruit, is to be strictly enforced
from now on, according to S. ].
klepfer, who was in town last
Saturday. Mr.. Klepfer is deputy
horticultural inspector for the FIVE
northern counties-Shoshone,
Benewah. Kootenai, Bonner and
Boundary. He stated that his
territory is too large for him to
reach all the fruit growers in
person but he relies on the press
and the dealers for assistance in
giving notice that the law will be
enforced. Dealers are being
warned not to buy or receive or
display for sale any diseased or
wormy fruit. Growers who offer
such fruit for sale are equally
liable.
The law also applies to ship
ments OF diseased trees.
Violation of the law incurs a
penalty of from $25 to 5000.

law under which Mr.. Klepfer is
acting:

the peach twig borer. and the fact
that such fruit bears the marks OF
San Jose scale, apple scab, or Is worm.

borer, shall be deemed conclusive

for sale or is being held 10 any ware
house, store, salesroom, or other place
for the purpose of being sold, bartered,
shipped or exposed for sale or barter.
Provided, That nothing lin this
section shall be construed to preveOt
the utilization OF such infected fruit

.evaL Lorated or dried products, fruit
preserves, je!lies. buffers, cider or
other fruit by-products within the
state" as provided 10 Section 2073.
