Injured Fruit
(Bpedsl to Tha Herald)
HARUNOftN, Jan. |l._ winds
which b.ew citrus fruits about and
brut* *d them were given more
b’.ume for damage than the recent
low temperatures by Hart T. Lcn
gino. supervlor of the Texas-Fed
eral inspection service, who left
for Fsnda Wednesday with L. A.
Pratt of the state green fruit law
enforcement organization.
“No dryness of the flesh is show
ing up as a result of the low tem
peratures and I doubt that we will
have very much,” said Mr. Longlno.
Nevertheless the inspection ser
vice will make Its Inspections con
form with the requirements of the
pure foods and drugs act so that
no inspected cars will be seized in
the markets. With several thousand
cars still to move, every precaution
will be taken so that they meet all
requirements before leaving the
Valley, Mr. Longlno stated.
If more than 15 per cent of the
fruit is found with more than 20
per cent of its pulp distinctly dry
and open, It Is considered unfit for
human consumption by the pure
foods and drugs department which
has seised acme Florida fruit since
the freeze.
U. S. No. 1 grade permits one
fourth inch of dryness at the stem
end or its equivalent In other parts
of the fruit. U. S. No . 2 permits up
to half an Inch Unclassified fruit
is not being permitted to move un
der marketing agreements but
there is a possibility that this re
striction may be lifted In Florida.
Inspectors are euttirg seven
specimens of each size fruit In
Florida to determine the percent
age of dryness and Una procedure
will be followed in the Valley. •
Longlno said that he wished to
aee conditions of the groves In
Florida, the fruit and see how cert
ification is being handled. Pratt
will interview Florida officials con
cerning green fruit law problems.
They will be gone about ten days.

UNEMPLOYABLE
TRANSFER LAGS
(Copyright, 1935, by the AP)
W/5HINOTON. Jan. 81.—The
federal government, an authorita
tive tournee disclosed Thursday, haa
called a temporary halt In its drive
to return “unemployablee” now re
maining on its relief roUa back to
the care of states and localities.
Although FERA officials said the
goal of their campaign is in sight,
it was indicated officially that the
aged, crippled and other *unem
ployables" still left on the rolls would
be allowed to remain there until
after President Roosevelt's social
security program is enacted
Last month. Harry L. Hopkins,
emergency relief administrator, said
he would seek to remove all 1AQO.OOO
"unemployable** families from the
federal roUa to state and local cart.
The first deadline mentioned was
February I- Friday—but later It was
indicated the transfer would be a
more gradual process.
The campaign thus has been pro
gressing several weeks. Now, offi
cials said Thursday, only 150,000
families in this classification are
wholly dependent on the federal
dole. Statistics on how many am
partly dependent were not announr
led.
1 FERA officials said that after the
president's security plan is passed,
the old age pensions and aid to de
oendent children provided In it will
care for the majority of unemploy
ables.
Thev said also that the $880,000.
000 for relief in the 84 880 000 000
work and relief bin now before con
gress win heln provide for unemplov
ables until the states, aided bv the
social security program, can assume
the burden. Another function of this
$880.000000 is to help provide for
able-bodied Jobless while the gov
ernment is swinging through Its
transition from dole to wort relief.
