1t Astonishes a Representative Of the
st. LOUIS Exposition.

It Astonishes Representative Of the
st. Louis Exposition.
Mr. Frederic w. Taylor Chief of the
Departments Of Agriculture and orti-
culture of the St. Louis Exposition,
has been inveigled into a trip to New
ada by the persuasive attentions of
Commissioner James Yerington. He is
here now taking in the sights afforded
in some Of Nevada's fruit orchards.
YES" said Mr.. Taylor, Il am here
in Nevada, where l really didn't ex-
pect to be few weeks ago. You can
lay it all to MI Yeringdon, your very
1--we and capable Commissioner at St.
Louis He pumped me full of the Gu
pacities OF this Sagebrush State as .
fruit growing section, ana to be frank
with you, he told me q good many
things that 1 didn't fully believe at
the time. feel bound, however, in all
candor and sincerity, to say that from
what have seen SO ia, that he will
be able to make good.
He tells me that you are not having
specially good fruit year. Well, if
this IL not a good fruit year, l am
curious to know what you would really
consider all right as a fruit year.
Il am amazed at your apples. They
are SO prolific and so firm and large
and Of such excellent quality. New
ada apples are already getting a rep',-
tation in the eastern markets. They
are known as splendid shippers AMI
this, to begin with, is a great deal in
their favor.
The winters here seem just right
to favor the growth Of an apple that
you can ship around the world and
it will not shrink or become spongy
in ito travels
Yes, l am aware Of the fact that
Nevada apples are in demand in LoE
don, and l have heard a great deal
about the in the east, but l am frank
to cay that coming here on the grouh ]
l ind better evidence Of the favorable
conditions of the industry than l ex
pected.
Along the eastern slope of the ST
ezra foothills seems an ideal place
for the growing of first class apples
feel safe in saying that with the re-
putation Nevada fruit already has IL
| the eastern markets, that If the i'll
| oustry was followed as it might De
! lat the time might arrive when thl
industry would keep pace with th>
! mining
Il am going to make a special effor'
| to enable Nevada to make a great 20
biological display at St. Louis. NJ,
| idea is to have fruit shipped in refrig
| orator cars and then placed in colo
| storage on it's arrival in st. LOUIS
and taken from cold storage as fas
as it is needed for display. 1t is wei
worth while to take some pains witt
| such magnificent products. l am goins
| to Reno today to visit the State Uni
| versity, where l have been invited t
| deliver lecture on the proper way tt
raise, pick, ship and store fruit.
shall take great pleasure in deliverin:
J such a lecture The State is to be con
| graduated that it's citizens are demon
! strating to the world its Horticultural
possibilities.
You also have every reason to con
graduate yourselves on having such .
live and intelligent representative u
Mr.. James Yerington. He combines Ell
thusiasm and hard rustling with his
work and you can set It down that
Nevada is going to be heard from 4,
| St. Louis next summer in no dncertain
way. The new irrigation law viii ad'
