 To the Fruit Growers of Arkansas:
 A few months ago I made a re- quest, through the press, for fruit to be sent here for exhibition purposes, and l am glad to be able 10 state that the people of Arkansas responded grandly to the call. and an abundance of fruit was sent i'll of the very finest kind which made the Arkansas eX- hibit the attraction of the horticul- tural palace desire 10 ask that you continue sending fruit of all kinds. The next three months will be the final struggle. especially on fall and winter apples, and I hope that you will send in promptly all kinds of late peaches and all kinds of fall and win ter apples. We are doing our best to win the first prize, and in order to do this must have the very best winter fruit. Remember it takes five apples to make a plate in order to get them scored, so in sending in try 10 have as many as five of each variety, and l would ask those who can do so to send in as large quantity as possible. If you can spare bushel or peck. do so; if not send less. and if you have only five good specimens send them in
 Quite a contest has arisen among the different states as to which can show the largest apple. From the opening day to the 23d of August, Ar kansas kept the flag waving over the largest apple On August g Okla homa took the flag by producing q lager one. On the 24th Arkansas re- covered the flag. and it is now waving in the Arkansas exhibit over the larg- est apple al the worlds fair. The other states are so anxious to defeat Arkansas that they are offering re- wards in their respective states 10 the one WhO will send in the largest apple. but 1 hope our people will stand by us in this contest and send in promptly the biggest apples that you have. Remember that if you have only one extra large one send it in and help LIS hold the flag until the end of the fair We will pay all ex. press charges on all fruit sent, but if the express agent demands prepay ment. pay the charges, send me the re ceipt. and will remit you the amount Be sure 10 address all let ters and shipments to the under signed care of section 15, HorticuI- tural Palace. Worlds Fair, St Louis, Mo would be glad if those who are interested and will have fruit later will. keep the address I will mail shipping tags on application.
 Yours very truly
