BEWARE CONTRABAND FRUIT

obtained opinion the importation of fruit from
Florida into this state, that is of considerable import
ance view of the present quarantine to protect Cali
fornia from becoming infested with the Mediterranean
fruit fly, ravaging the eastern state.
Several parties having Florida oranges in their
possession apprehended by inspectors guarding
the state the fruit being found in automobiles The
of the fruit asserted it had been purchased in
Chicago, therefore they had not violated the state law
in bringing the oranges into California.
to interpret the law by County Horticultural Comis
soner Ryan, rendered the opinion that matters not
what point Florida fruit is purchased long it
originated in Florida is against the law to bring it
into California. Nor does it matter how long it may
be since the fruit left its native state.
This may appear to be harsh ruling and
that might involve parties entirely innocent of any in
territorial violation of the state law. In view of the
danger of infestation to which California is exposed
however it will not do to let down the bars the plea
that individual may suffer. There is too much at
stake
California is seriously threatened, and it is the
duty of every citizen to amliarze himself with the law
and do all in his power to keep conraband fruit outside
the state Those purchasing fruit outside California
are burdened with the necessity of making certain 1t
is not contraband of suffering the consequences If
it is found to be contraband. Citizens will do well to
bear this in mind and thereby avoid possible unpeas
