HOOD RIVER WINS USUAL PRIZES
Carries or Everything Competed for
at Meeting Of State Hortieult.
ural Society.

The meeting OF the State Horticult-
ural Society at Portland lsst week was
we'll attended by Hood River growers,
and while the number OF exhibitors
was not large. yet those who did have
exhibits and competed for prizes car
Iied of the bonors ~ usual. In other
words Hood River a ade good, and
the many eomuiIn, es who have been
claiming that ,he, Joali raise apples
"as good u u Risvr" we're not In
evidence. oolIe OF the Willamette
valley growers who have been partiou-
lariy active in making boasts as to
what their terril ory could do, were
conspicuous by their absence
There was not the attempt this year
to get up fine exhibits as last year,
nor as many ofkthem, on account Of
the jealousy Of other sections and the
unwillingness on the part OF many to
give Hood River credit where credit
10 due, under the general term Of
"Oiegon apples," In instances where
merit has belonged entirely to Hood
River. Some took the view that 1t
might be a generous thing on the pait
OF Hood River to make no exhibit
this year and give some other section
a chance to win some prizes.
The list Of prizes won by other sec
tions we're on varieties which Hood
River did not exhibit or makes n1
claim for perfection. The following
10 list of prizes:
