The horticultural department OF the
Iowa commission on the st. Louis ex-
position has abundantly demonstrated
the possibility of perfect keeping OF
fruit in cold storage. The commission
shipped to st. Louis about 700 bushels
OF Iowa apples which had been kept
since last September in cold storage in
this city and ST. Louis. and when they
were opened the last of April they We're
found perfect. DR.. Bailey, the member
of the commission who has charge OF
the horticultural exhibit, states that
while Iowa is not up to some OF the
states in the matter Of a fruit exhibit
it is far ahead of many of them. He
has followed the plan Of putting out
the poorest of the specimens first and
saving the best until later when large
crowds will visit the exposition. Other
states made finer displays at this time
because they put out their finest fruit
at first.
DR.. Bailey does not advise Iowa
people to go to the fair just yet In
some Of the buildings" he said, there
is great confusion. A thousand work
men are putting on the finishing touch
es In some of these big buildings and
it would be impossible to see the build
ings at their best. But they are rapid
ly getting into shape. The spectacular
effect of the whole as very fine. saw
the fair at Chicago and felt that It
could never be surpassed In beauty,
but st. Louis has left it far in the
shade. The effect Of that great cas-
cade Of Illuminated water failing from
a great height and beautifully colored
with electrical lights as 1t goes over
the precipices, is magnificent. l think
it is the greatest sight ever given to
man to look upon.
