members of the board:
DIR. Joseph Parry-From your pub
lie utteranceS we are led to believe
/ that you accord great excellence to
I Utah's musical talent. We desire to
impress you with the fact that the
land which produces such native talent
also yields bountifully of material eX-
cellence. To that end kindly accept in
evidence, the small collection of fruit
herewith presented. May you carry to
your far distant home not only fond
impressions of Utah's sweet singers.
but also this tangible evidence of ;he
great production of U!tah'S fertile soil
w
human voice divine, but Gods best
gifts of soil are found in Jtah. The
former assertion you have passed upon;
the latter we beg to impress upon You
by means of the small collection of
fruit herewith. We believe that you
and your estimable wife will carry back
to Pennsylvania good account of
Utah'S wonderful cline, her sweet sing
ers, her rich minerals and n;atchless
fruits"

THE FRUIT EXHIBIT.
The fruit exhibit at the Hall Of Rel
les attracted q constant stream of
SPECTATORS all day yesterday. The in
terest is so great that the board will
keep it open today, to allow all confer
ence visitors an opportunity for inspec-
ton.
After viewing the fruit DISPLAY some
of the visitors have declared that the
samples on exhibition have been culisd
from the general production, and that
it IS impossible to secure on the mar
ket fruit approaching in excellence and
size the specimens that the board is
showing. To prove the falsiIy of that
assertion Mr.. ]. w. Wright went down
on Market Row late yesterday alter
noon and picked I'D samples of aDples
and grapes that are the equal of the
average specimens shown in the eX-
hibit. In the morning, Wien the fruit
comes in. purchasers will have no diff
ficulty in securing a supply from which
representative samples OF Utah's Prod
uct, the peer of those shown al the
Hall of Relics, might be selected.
To show the value OF spraying, Mr..
Sorenson, the county fruit tree in
s9ector. has on exhibition several ap-
pies, in which the worms mad worked
through the skin, but were killed by
the spraying. BY slicing il was shown
that the spraying had saved the apple,
for the worm had just gotten through
the skin when it was Killed.
