The appls packing law was passed by the recent session of the Legis lature and is Act No. 144. should be in the hands of all apple growers of the state who sell closed packages and can be secured from the Pennsylvania Department of Ag riculture at Harrisbiirg. The new law is aimed to bring about a uniformity in packing and to prevent deception. It will tend to bring about a recognized standard for Pennsylvania apples which are rapidly finding their way to the big markets and are being ranked with tho finest apples grown in this coun try. In order that the purchaser may known what is in the closed barrel, box or basket the markings are re quired which will show the variety and whether they are two, two and a quarter, two and a half inch or larger sized fruit. The size of let tering must not be less than thirty six point Gothic or letters three fourths of an inches in size. The law provides that the faced or exposed surface shall fairly rep resent the contents of the container both as to the size and condition. The minimum size of the fruit shall be determined in all grades by tak ing the transverse diameter of the smallest apples, and variations of one-quarter of an inch must bo stated in the labelling. It is unlawful for any person to pack for sale, ship for sale, offer or consign for sale, have in posses sion intended for sale or sell in clos ed packages, any apples which are not packed in accordance with the new law. A fine of fifty dollars is provided for first violations and fines of one hundred dollars for each sub sequent offense. The enforcement of the act is vested in the Pennsylvania Depart ment of Agriculture and its agents are authorized to enter upon the premises of any person within the state for the purpose of securing evi dence of violation of the act.
