ELUEBERRY PARASITE.
Government Inspectors Throw Bomb
in Washington County

Washington county BURBERRY can
ners, packers and all connected with
the industry were dismayed last week
by the arrival of government inspec-
tors who took action which has
practically brought canning to a
standstill all over Washington coun-
ty. One area of $4,000 acres of blue
berry lands ready for picking was
condemned by the inspectors and
pickers ordered off This land is in
townships 10 and "a and is the bulk
of the supply of the cannery of c. H.
Drisko & Bro, located here. The
same situation is said to prevail
throughout the county and came
without warning. Some forty or fifty
inspectors are scattered through the
county it is said.
The inspection is for the BURBERRY
parasite, which is not claimed to be
injurious, but the inspectors say
hurts the sale of the goods. The
same conditions have prevailed for
years, the packers say. but this is the
first time the crop has been con-
demned.
F. e. Drisko of c. H. Drisko &
Co., said recently that thousands of
dollars worth of berries are rotting
on the bushes and serious results,
calamity, will strike Washington
county unless there is help from the
government. Canneries will be
Obliged to close down, throwing many
out of employment, and at a heavy
loss to the owners.
Senator Fernald has been appealed
to to relieve the situation. Action
must be quick, as the season is short.
