SIX FIRST AND TWO SECOND
Prizes Won by Green Forest Ap-
 pies at the St. Louis Fair.

the making of an exhibit of Green Forest fruit at the St. Louis fair last week anticipated anything like the splendid suc- cess that has crowned the effort. It was a success worthy of any of the older and well developed fruit sections of the southwest.
 Going to this great fair without any expectation whatever of winning single prize, 1t can well be imagined how those who had the matter in charge felt when the judge pinned six blue ribbons and two red ones on the Green Forest exhibit.
 Tine prize taken that meant the most money was a second award for the largest and best general display, which was S20. The sec- ond from a money consideration was 50 5.00 for the best ten plates not named in the fair catalogue. First prizes of S2 each were awarded on best plates of Wine saps, Tulpenhocken, Shannon Pippin, Mammoth Black TWig and Jonathon, and a second prize of S1 % for best plate of Ranbos. The total number of prizes being six first and two seconds, aggre- gating the sum of S36.00.
 These awards were not the product of the ingenuity of the exhibitors, for this was their first i experience in matters of this kind. ' It is safe to say that had they known as much as they do now the results would have been much more favorable, for there were the strictest sort of regulations governing the making of entries, classifications of varieties, etc., and unless all these things were properly observed, the best of apples conld not win. Nor was this good success due to there being no competition from other sections, for there was, and by men who have made fruit study and who knew every mack there IS about making an advantageous exhibit. There were strong com petltors on nearly every variety shown from several different states by fruit men who had gone there simply to show for the speculation there is in winning prlze-money, and it really yet seems remarkable that such a grand showing should have been made by our apples. There, is but one cause for it all and it can De told in but very few words we had the apples.
 It was indeed happy thought that inspired a few of our pushing irult advocators to make this snow at St. Louis. It is surely the beginning of a campaign of oeveiopment in the apple industry mat will bring this country to the ifont rank of the fruit growing sections of the great fruit belt. It ulfects the attention of people who want cheap orchard lands in never failing fruit country in 'hls direction. Itreassures those who have been pushing our fruit growing possibilities that they are unquestionably on the right ,,ack, and will certainly impress 'ne land owners that so soon as 'ney plant their lands to orchards alo begin to realize upon them 'use So soon will they, like thoas- anus or farmers of Benton county nave done, become independent.
 Having taken special stock in tue making of this show at St.

A DISPLAY OF VEGETABLES
Might Have Won More Laure1s !, for Green Forest at St. Louis.

y S seen by our editor at the great St. Louis fair last week. It was simply the department of the big show that received our special attention. There were hundreds of other products of the soil on exhibition that are worthy of the attention of people of this coun- try. Because this section is world-beater on apple produc- tion, we would not have our people believe it is not good for anything else.
 There is not the slightest doubt in the mind of the writer but other blue ribbons could have been brought back to Green For est had even as much effort been put forth to have a vegetable display there as was exercised in gathering up apples. Raising poultry, vegetables, peaches and grapes go hand in hand with the production of the apple, as profit able side lines, while stock rais- ing always brings good returns. In all but the stock and poultry, we could have put up good show at this fair. We have stock, true enough, but the grade is where we would fall down hard, simply because but little attention is be- ing given to the breeding of blooded animals, like they do up north. In fact. they simply raise nothing but blooded stock in the northern states, and it is no wonder that our stock comes way down the list in market quota tions. Still it pays in small way to raise the scrubs here, and put them on the market in com- petition to the high grades from the north. Wherever scrub stock can be raised blooded ones can also be produced just as we'll and if anything can be realized upon raising the scrubs and mixed = breeds in this country, how much more profitable would it be to raise full -bloods and meet the people of the north on an equal footing?
 In poultry we have a similar advantage in climate over the northern states that we have in apple growing, yet our poultry has no standing at all compared with that of the northern sections. True enough our eggs take same rank, but our chickens are so much smaller when they come to be weighed and they excel us SC badly in the amount of eggs gathered in proportion to the number of hens that the advan 'tage they experience in this line of industry is quite decided. Il is very unfortunate that our farm CTS do not give more attention tc breeding of poultry. From double to trible the amount realized out of poultry now could be made with practically the same cost and trouble could oul people be induced to go at the matter as our better informed friends of the north do. A view of the stock and poultry at the fair caused us no grief because o the fact that we found nothing there branded from this section
 In vegetables and small fruits however, it was different. There is scarcely nothing that could bt named that grows successfully 1T this section of which a goo( showing could have been made and there is where some more blue ribbons could have beer ! captured.
 The people cf this country mus realize that to bring our resource to the front and even to encoar age our own farmers an interes must be taken in exhibiting 8 fairs. Itis one of the most eff lfectnal WAYS in the world to ad

Where Should 1t seain?

We have searched the pages of the
tariff reform sheets diligently of
late, and have utterly failed to find
where revision should begin. No
one supposes for moment that re-
vision means any raising of present
rates-it means cutting down. AS we
are all selfish let US see where the in
terest of the Iowa man who wants
tariff reform comes in. The people
who buy and eat beef, say cheap beef
Very well, let us take off the tariff on
cattle from Canada and Mexico. How
would the Iowa farmers like to com
pete with cattle raised on fifty dollar
an acre land with those raised where
grazing is free? Suppose the tariff
on leather was reduced, so as to give
US cheaper shoes and harnesses; let
hides in free from South Africa? And
if we let wheat grown in Canada in
free wouldn't flour be cheaper? So
about wooden goods They might be
cheaper, if we had free wool from Cen
trail and South America but where
does the Iowa farmer who raises sheep
come in? In short, where is there
article that can be placed on the
free list or the tariff reduced upon that
it does not hit the Iowa farmer? Won't
somebody tell us?-Hampton Uowa)
