Washington Fruit mt Pan-American

Buffalo. N. Y, Nov. 3.-Washington's
fruit at the Pan-American exposition was
undoubtedly its most notable exhibit, and
it won recognition as the best in the
building Eastern fruit men were decid-
eddy startled to find their choice exhibits
discounted by fruit from the Pacific
coast, which is hardly known here as a
fruit growing section.
The biggest apple in the building-a
monster Bieingheimer weighing 20 ounces
and Is II inches in circumference-wa
from Wenatchee, and the king ounce
which weighed nearly % ounces, was from
Thurston county.
Washington also takes the palm for eff
fective advertising of its fruit. The car
load OF apples shipped by the Spokane
chamber of commerce for free distribution
was coup, the effects of which will be
lasting and valuable. Without the ship
ment the exhibit attracted quite as much
general notice as any other and the lions
share of the attention of eastern fruit
dealers and growers looking for new
fields and opportunities
The distributions of course attracted
large and clamorous crowds, but the fruit
is not wasted, being placed with every
endeavor to do the greatest possible good
for the state.
