New Apple-Package Law,
The Pennsylvania legislature has
passed and the Governor has approv-
ed a law which is intended to prevent
fraud in the eale of apples in closed
packages. The act was framed by the
progressive fruit growers of the state
and indorsed by their organization.
While this law does not sttempt so
much as, some other state laws,
it will prove to be more eftective
and therefore more useful for that
very reason. It provides simply thst
the minimum size of the apples in the
packages shall be stated in the mark
or brand thereon, and imposes suitable
penalties for false marking or brand-
ing.

Heavy Bills for Forest Fire Fighting,
Judging from bills of forest fire ex-
tinction submitted to date, there will
be deficiency to June 1st, 1917, of al-
most §15,000,in the forest fire fund of
the Department of Foresty. Legisla-
ture two years ago appropriated only
$45,000 for forest fire prevention and
extinction, and it was predicted then
that even if the whole sum should be
used for extinction and no preventive
easures undertaken, a deficiency
appropriation would be necessary to
meet fire bills. Thisis practically
what has happened, for scarcely any
of the money has been used for pre
venting fires,
T here has been an exceptionally
large crop of small forest fires this
spring, which has helped to swell the
total of the bills, Heavier expenses for
extinction have been Incurred since
April first of this year than during all
of last year. Last week’s rains, how-
ever, have ended the season of excep-
tional danger in most parts of the
State, and almost all of the foresters
except those in the north tier report
that it is not likely that there will be
more fires before fall. Weather rec-
ords show that this has been the driest
spring in years, and during one week
of May a high wind blew almost con-
tinuously. More fires occurred during
lows:
