The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-07-15

The productivity of the arid lands
of Washington when water is turned
on them will be widely exploited at
the 10th National Irrigation Congress
to be held at Albuquerque during the
two weeks of September 2-October
TO- when the 28th Annual Territorial
Fair is held in the New Mexico
metropolis. The Irrigation Congress
will last six days of the two weeks
and will be attended by prominent
men from all parts of the country
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
has taken hold of the matter for this
state and will constitute itself a
clearing house for those wishing to
send fruit for either display or for
distribution, as it is intended to give
away one carload of fruit each day
during the sittings of the Irrigation
Congress. The idea of making such
an exhibit originated with Charles B.
Reed of Malaga, Wash, who exhib-
tied six boxes of Wenatchee apples
at the meeting held at Sacramento
last year-the only exhibit from Wash
ington-and won prize of 800. The
State Horticultural Society has in
dorsed the suggestion and arrange
ments are already under way to Sc
cure large exhibits from the several
irrigation section of the state.

THE SPOKANE INTERSTATE FAIR.


With October comes the apple sea-
son. The summer varieties it is true
are gone and the early fall varieties,
such as the Duchess and Wealthy are
just in midseason. But these hardly
count. No Eastern markets seek them.
Their vogue is local and very transit
tory They have no lasting effect on
the apple situation.
The first week in October, however,
with it's bright, crisp mornings and
hazy, golden days reminds the farmer
that frost is coming and that he should
be getting his apples under cover And
now comes also the buyers from the
great commission houses of the East
ern cities. You meet them in every
orchard seeking the best.
The Spokane Interstate Fair comes
just at the right moment for fruit
and particularly an apple show. Spo-
kane is the first place of Importance
the buyer strikes on his westward way
Naturally he stops to visit the fair
If the showing there of apples is what
it should be, it determines whittier
ward he will turn his steps in seeking
fruit This should influence apple and
general fruit growers to send their
choicest specimens to the Spokane In
terstate Fair. And the best and
strongest advertisement grower
could have would be to win one of
the principal prizes. The presence of
many buyers means competition and
higher price to the man who has the
best.
ic trI1n Wi n
tricts which claim prominence in
fruit growing. This year, large prizes
are offered for display" exhibits
which are ordinarily gathered under
the auspices of growers associations,
and commercial clubs, and are shown
to exploit the peculiar advantages
claimed for the section represented.
The grand display prize which in for
mer years included not only fruit, but
grains, grasses and vegetables, has
now been broken up into separate
prizes for each of these classes. Hence,
now it is possible for commercial
clubs, horticultural societies, farmers
unions, or market gardeners associa-
tons to confine their exhibits to those
classes in which they excel.
1t should also be remembered by
these organizations that this is the
time when the tourist and homese eker
are abroad in the land. The harvest
at home in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota
and the Dakotas being over, he fares
forth to see the promised land in the
west while autumn's glory is still upon
it, Any time before October first, it is
possible for the tourist to purchase a
cheap round trip ticket from eastern
points, good to stop everywhere be-
tween the Mississippi River and the
Coast. The homeseeker can obtain a
still better rate.
The Spokane Interstate fair offers
larger prizes, and more of them, for
fruits, grains and grasses than any
other fair in this entire country. Think
of it! For apples alone it offers
single prize amounting to $500. No
where else and by no other horticultural
fair is this prize matched. The display
prize of 1000 for the fruit of any one
district stands alone.
No commercial club in the Inland
Empire having the best interests OF
it's section at heart should fail TO
grasp the opportunity this offers to
this first and best impression upon the
homeseeker who visits the fair.

WAS ONLY RED BLOOD.
And Three-Year-OId Had Been Told
 That 1t Was Blue.

year-old Allan had a very aris- tocratic grandma, who prided herself on her own and her husbands blue blooded ancestry. She told him heroic deeds of them and warned him from ever playing with boys of low degree.
 One day Allan came screaming up stairs to his mamma and grandma, holding his hand up covered with blood, where he had cut his little finger. They were both greatly alarmed, as he was a child who rarely cried or complained when hurt. Nam ma washed the blood off and, exam ming the cut, said
 Why, dear, it's not so very bad Does it hurt you so much?"
 I'm not cryin' cause it hurts" he said, but cause it's only red blood, and grandma said had blue. ."-Phila- delphia Ledger.

One day We noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but solid mass of this itch ing disease. purchased box of Cuti- cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lIkewarm water and washed him we'll.
