BUREAU OF MARKETS
TO CERTIFY APPLES
Continued from first page)

alone should convince both the buy
ers and the sellers of the importance
of having their apples inspected.
AT the time the apples are inspected
a certificate will be issued showing
their exact quality and condition. This
certificate is accepted as prima facie
evidence of the facts in any court, and
this inspection will reduce claims and
reflections.
This is the first time that shipping
point inspection service has been pro-
vided in Delaware, and whether OF
not the service is continued will of
course depend on the use that is made
of it. 1t is hoped that growers and
dealers will be quick to realize the
benefits to be gained, and that it will
soon be possible to provide official
shipping point inspection on any Del
aware product at any time of the year.
This year will be an opportunity for
some buyers who have complained a
lot in the past about poor quality and
pack, to perform a real service to
themselves. Let them buy graded
stock, officially inspected, and pay the
growers the difference in value and
cooperate. Brokers, dealers, growers
and consumers should take an active
interest in this inspection work in or
der to provide better grading and
packing.
This inspection work will be done
comparatively by the United States
Bureau of Agricultural Economics and
the Bureau of Markets at Dover. Will
mer T. Derickson, of the Bureau of
Markets, will be in charge of this
work for the State, and the govern
ment will appoint supervisor to
see that the inspectors get started
properly. All fruit will be inspected
according to Federal grades. Buyers
and consumers who obtain officially
graded fruit will avoid any question
as to quality. Growers should sell Of
ficially graded fruit, establish their
own brand, have satisfied customers
and secure the increased value in
price.

 These experts know, and their Near East children now show, that nvigorating, health building food, Karo is among the first in food value Read carefully Dr. Curran's letter to the right.) y
 Here is the reason why Karo is so highly recom- mended:
 Karo contains large percentage of the vitalizing food element, Dextrose, which your doctor tell you has tremendous health value This essential element, Dextrose, is assimiated almost directly into the blood and tissue cels-and furnishes the fuel and energy of your body. |
 And children delight in the delicious flavor of Karo spread on bread. Blue Label and Red Label Karo equally nutritious.
