Since the first premium in the states
sweepstakes was awarded to Iowa there
has been a disposition on the part of some
OF the visitors to the fruit show, but not
from any Of the exhibitors themselves, to
, ~criticise the finding of the judges. These
critics not being conversant with the basis
on which the judges made their awards
thought that the magnificent exhibits from
Idaho and Washington should have scored
ahead Of Iowa. The competition. however.
was on variety Of fruits rather than on
the excellence OF the apples alone. Had
the competition been on apples alone Idaho
and Washington, the judges say, undoubt-
eddy would a beaten Iowa.
In view OF this criticism, the exhibitors
from the west thought that some public
announcement by them would be proper,
and last night the following resolutions
were drafted and read to the assembled
crowd:
R~esolutions by westerners.
