grounds. | reached North Yakima
Wednesday afternoon about o'clock,
but | was too tired to go to the fair
grounds. While looking for a place
to sleep that night | travelled about
through the business sections of the
city. Nearly every business house in
that f1ourishing city had it's front win
dows decorated with fruits-apples,
pears, ounces, plums, prunes and
crabapples, with quite a sprin;ding of
cantaloupes, WatermelOnS, monstrOus
pumpkins and enormous squashes. APP
pes and peaches predominated and
red apples were decidedly in the lead.
1t would not be far out of the way to
say that some one had painted the
town red" in arranging this display.
| was both surprised and delighted at
this window display Nothing of the
kind was seen there six, eight or ten
years ago, when | was able to attend
the fair. | remarked to some of the
people about this new departure and
/ was informed that the greatest cred
it should be given to Ed. Remy for
this new feature Money was made
up among the citizens of North Yak
ina and prizes were offered for these
window displays. The idea is a good
one and has yielded good results, for
Tie strangers as they walked the
streets were often heard to remark:
Did you ever see such fruits?" Sure
ly Yakima County must be wonderful
country for raising fine fruit; 81
wish I could own a piece of land
where such fruit can be raised" and
many like expressions.
On Thursday morning went to the

least, that is the way the matter
was explained to me by one of the
judges.
Aside from what can say about the
fruit display in Horticultural Hall,
would like to speak of NEE ting such
fruitgrowers as W. A. Ritz of Walla
Walla, w. Fl. Paulhamus of Sumner,
Ed. Remy of North Yakima j. c..
Hubbell and Adam Stevens of Ellens-
burg Oris Mccullough of the Alta
mum, w. B. Armstrong of the Selah
Valley, Amos Bush of Granger, F. A.
HUntley, the State Horticultural Com
missioner; William Lee of Fruitvale
and many others. How pleasantly the
time flew as we talked about fruits
and fruitgrowing. | was sorry not to
meet Dr. Lowther, the editor of Fan
cy Fruit; w. l.. Wright of Fruitvale
and the men from Che'an County who
were in charge of their fine exhibit.
Dr. Lowther was crippled by fall
from a horse some months ago, and
it is with difficulty that he gets about.
AS | could be there but a few hours
and the day was disagreeable and
many were temporarily absent, could
not meet them. Adam Stevens of
Kittitas is a grand old man, whom
am always delighted to meet. He
raises fine Jersey COWS and very fine
Berkshire hogs. He had won some
premiums on his pigs and was delight
ed at that, but seemed to be especially
delighted by the statement of the
judge on hogs, who is an Eastern man
but declared that the swine exhibited
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

that can be shown later in the season.
With this fact rene bered, KittitaS
may hold up her head and be glad.
Their apples being later in ripening
will keep longer than the ones grown
in The lower valleys. Spokane had 4
good exhibit.
Yakima County had a decided adj
vantage over all other parts of the
state in the fact that it is compare
lively easy to get up display at
home. 1t is amazing that Chelan
County should make such a wonderful
display when it is remembered that
their fruit was shipped nearly 800
miles by rail, but the fair is right
in the midst of the orchards of Yakima
County, and it was not difficult mat
ter to marshall a magnificent display.
The following distinct displays from
Yakima County appeared in the hall:
Yakima County by the Horticultural
Union, Ahtanum, Union Gap Irriga-
ton Company, Mckee, Fruitvale,
Matches Valley, Granger and H. w.
Gilbert, who put up an individual ex-
hibit. 1t would be a great pleasure to
speak of these exhibits separately,
but space forbids my going into de-
tai S. If there had been no display
Oh fruit except that from Yakima
County but one word would describe
it, and that word is GRAND.
BY a wise arrangement it was so
provided that any county in the state
could make an exhibit and not come
in competition with Yakima County.
Tie merchants of North Yakima
raised a sDecial fund of 5000 to he
given in three premiums, first $500,

HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT


second 5000 and third $780, AS Yak
ina County was excluded from this
exhibit, the money all went to other
counties. Chelan County won the first
prize, Kittitas the second and Spo-
kane the third. This was very COM
mendable move on the part of the
merchants of North Yakima, but it
very forcibly shows the public spirit
of the citizens of that thriving city.
l understand that the fair commission
ers could not offer premiums out of
the state funds without including all
lne counties in the privilege of COM
peting so the only way was to make
up this special fund.
The State Fair Commission, how
ever, put up $500 in four premiums,
with Yakima included. In this con-
test Yakima County won the first
prize, $780, Che an County second,
$3.50; Kittitas third, 800; and Spo-
kane County fourth, $50 In this con-
test Yakima and Chelan Counties were
neck and neck. Yakima won, not
because it had better fruit, but be-
cause it had a greater variety. At

were represented in this bewildering
display, viz. Chelan, Spokane, Ktti-
tas and Yakima. In the Chelan Coun-
ty exhibit Wenatchee, Cashmere and
Leavenworth were represented, but
the display was magnificent. The Yak
ina County display had greater num-
Der of varieties, but so far as Che
Ian County went it was not surpassed d,
and | doubt if it could be in the whole
state. Kittitas County had a very
fine display. This county was handi-
capped by the fact that it was too
early for their fruit to show the color
