by the State department of agricul-
ture as an Interpretation Of the
amended law were carefully explain
ed by Commissioner Frank p. Wash
burn of the department, A. M. G.
Soule. chief Of the division of in
spection, and +. c. Sturtevant. in
spector. Questions were asked and
suggestions were made by the or
chardists and all cooperated In the
effort to clarity the situation.
The conference was called to order
by Commissioner Washburn, who
pointed out that the last legislature
materially changed the wording of
the Maine apple packing law, parti-
cularly as to the marking and des-
cription of various grades. He stated
that the department has had these
changes in mind for some time and
has found some difficulty in finding
plan for enforcing the law, it be-
ing difficult to prepare a set of reg
u1ations that would observe the spirit
of the law and yet be workable and
practicable for the growers and pack
ers Of the State.
In drawing up the tentative rules
and regulations. Commissioner Wash
burn said. the department has
consulted with growers and packers,
has referred to rules and regula-
tons in force In this State and other
states, and on some points where a
legal ruling was necessary opinions
were sought from the attorney gen.
eral. He declared that in spite of
rumors to the effect that certain ar
bitrary rulings have been put in
force by the department, nothing has
been done as yet and the tentative
set of regulations is the first state
ment from the department, this hav-
Ing been prepared as the subject of
discussion at the meeting. He said
that the department Is not interest

law which the department was not
instrumental In having passed, but is
concerned in its enforcement in the
the most practicable and best man
ner possible.
The rules and regulations proposed
by the department were then read by
Mr.. Soule and We're discussed Sec
ton by section by the growers. The
apple packing law as amended pro-
vides for five grades: Maine Stand
ard Fancy which is about the same
as the former fancy grade except
that it defines the size as to various
varieties Maine Standard A, which
corresponds to the former No. !
grade: Maine Standard B., which
corresponds to the former No. 2
grade; Maine Orchard Run. which Is
a new grade; and the Unclassifie1
Grade which Is about the same as
the former "unclassified."
Discussion Of Proposed Rules
Charles J. Towle of Winthrop. a
member of the send Legislature, IN
the discussion stated his BELIEF that
there should be no letting down OF the
standards.
IL was the opinion of ex-senator C..
M. Conant of Winterport that there
should be no defects in Grade A apples
for in Maine fancy apples cannot be
packed but Grade A can be packed.
Ihere was wide expression of opin-
ION regarding the various grades. es-
pecially in regard to apples that NAV
be put into the 'unclassified." 1t was
the opinion of Harry H. Lee of Angus
Ia that orchardists should be able to
pack A and B grades together and
mark them "unclassined" provided the
buyer wanted them SO marked Com
missioner Washburn stated that the
department will rule that all mer-
charitable apples may be mingled and
sold as ''unclassified" provided thew
are not graded.
r. A. Pierce Of Hebron stated that
the orchardists want TO boost Maine
and make it an apple-growing State.
out they do not have the money and
encouragement to do it. He suggest
co. however. that the rules and regu-
iations as promulgated be tried ont
this season and perhaps have a COM
mittee look into the matter further
before another season,
suggestions were made by numer-
GUS other apple growers and packers.
Following which votes were tatken by
which 1t was found that the rules and
regulations as promulgated as an in
depreciation of the law were accept
able to the majority OF those present.
Vote for Two Changes in Rules
IL was voted that two changes be
made in the rules and regulations
which follow. The first was regarding
the color of apples in Maine Standard
A, the Wealthy variety being placed
with the other varieties in which
good color for the variety" is con-
sidered to mean that the color of the
apples branded that grade shall cover
at least % per cent. of the surface.
The second change concerned Maine
Standard B, the amount Of scab allow
able being reduced from an aggregate
area the size of quarter of a dollar
to an aggregate area the size of a
dime.
With the changes above noted, the
rules and regulations which will be
adopted by the department of agricul-
ture in carrying out the provisions of
