Va. - An announcement by USDA that it has issued a permit for the importation of fresh peaches from one area in Mexico has caused the National Peach Council to send a letter of protest to Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland. USDA had put out a news release that it had issued a permit for importation of peaches from the Nuevo Casas Grandes area of Mexico through a firm in El Paso, Tex. An estimated 300,000 boxes of peaches may come in under the permit this year, if it is allowed to stand. In the past, fresh peaches from Mexico have been barred because of the possibility of spreading Mexican fruit fly, a dangerous pest of citrus and soft fruits. According to a news release from USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the permit was issued to allow fruit to “chugging” contests, and a calf dressing contest. Donald L. Ace of State College, this year’s Dairy Expo dedicatee, is a Penn State graduate. He received both bachelor and master of science degrees from Penn State with c major in dairy nutrition and is currently an Extension dairy specialist. Concluding the Exposition festivities will be the annual awards banquet held the evening of May 7th in the Ballroon of the Hetzel Union Building. The purpose of this dinner is to recognize Donald Ace, and present prizes to contest winners. Also, the Robert H. Rumler Award, the Clyde N. Hall Award, and the William R. Davey Award will be presented to out standing students for their college achievements. be imported from only one isolated area known to be free of the Mexican fruit fly. Peach growers in the southern part of the United States, and particularly in south Georgia where the Mexican fruit fly could overwinter if it ever became established, point out there is still some danger as long as the peaches cannot be treated to guarantee that none of the pests could survive the journey into the United States. Citrus can be treated, but the treatment would ruin fresh peaches. National Peach Council has sent a strongly worded letter of protest to Secretary Bergland, asking that the import permit be withdrawn. 105
