JUDGES DESIRE BETTER FRUIT
Complain That Diseased Fruit Is Pre-
dominant in Exhibits.

The ladies who were appointed judges
of the fruit diGplay at the Third Dis
trict fair in Pendleton last week com
planned bitterly that the exhibitors
themselves, especially in apples and
pears had not taken better care in Sc
leotiug their exhibits. Only one per-
feet apple display was found among
all The individual shcwings and the
rest together with all the Iears were
affected with worms, scale, or litter
rot. The peaches and grapes were
generally pretty clean fruit.
They recommended that no pre-
miums be given on any imperfect fruit
next year. Another recommendation
will be that the individual displays
entered be placed in one location in
stead of distributed among all the
booths as the custom this year.
One feature of the task that showed
negligence upon the part of the ex-
hibitors was the naming of many ex-
hibits. Some fruit exhibited under
wrong names would have taken first
prizes had they been properly entered,
but were under the circumstances
thrown ont.
The objections raised by the judges
are based upon a desire for more judi
cious and earnest work in bringing the
fruit standards of Umatilla and Nor
row counties up to the highest rank.
