The Maryland State Apple Commission was created within the State
Board of Agriculture by Chapter 628, Acts of 1947. The seven-man ."
Commission, is appointed to four-year terms by the Governor from a
list of fruit growers approved by the Executive Committee of the
Maryland State Horticultural Society. The Commission raises funds
for publicity and advertising, sales promotion, education, and research
to increase the demand for, and consumption of, Maryland apples. All
apples of U. S. Number I Canner Grade or better, grown in Maryland
and sold in commercial trade, are subject to a tax of one cent a bushel.
However, the first five hundred bushels sold by any producer are tax-
exempt. Commercial growers must report all apples sold during the
crop season by December 31 each year. Apples sold after the season
must be reported by the close of the following May. The Commission
deposits the funds received from these sources with the State Treas-
urer in a Merchandising Fund, and none of this money may be used
for any other purpose, operating expenditures excepted (Code 1957,
1964 Repl. Vol., Art. 97, sees. 71-83).
