Letters asserting that The present
Department of Agriculture regulation
requiring acid washing of apples is
proving extremely detrimental to
western fruit growers and undermin-
ing administration support in that
section, have been presented to Presi-
dent Coolidge by Senator Waterman,
Republican, Colorado.
One of the letters, which came from
Senator Waterman's constituents. said
that contrary to Secretary JardInes
insistent statements that acid does
not harm apples, it is an indisputable
fact that shipments are
being rejected at markets daily be-
cause the acid accelerates deteriora-
ton and the apples arrive unfit for
sale. And that resentment against
the administration amounts to politi
cal insurrection."

dollars, and if continued through an

cal dissatisfaction in the Western
