orchard.
Several entries are expected from
Wenatchee, Wash, and it is likely
growers there will show Winesap,
Jonathan and probably a car of mixed
varieties.
In addition to the foregoing the
management of the national apple
show has also received entries from
various parts of the northwest and a
dozen eastern, middle western and
southern states for the 10, five, two
and one-box contests, and nearly
every mail is bringing entries in the
other competitions, thus assuring a
display of between 100000 and
100000 apples.
StupendOus Display.
Every care is being taken to place
the carload exhibitions in such posi-
ltiOns that the masses of color, har-
moniously blended, will please the eye
and at the same time give a compre-
Intensive idea of the magnitude of the
exposition. The various booths in
which the carload entries are to be
rdisplayed will be decorated as will
also the district and box exhibits. One
hundred thousand square feet of floor
space is to be devoted to the display
of fruit, and, judging from the num-
Der of entries already in hand, there
will not be a foot of space to spare;
Indeed, the management is already
planning for additional temporary
structures.
Every entry will be taken care of
and each will receive it's allotment of
space in the order of receipt. First
come, first served" is the rule that is
of the show in the Hutton building
Progress is being made on the build
ings adjoining the state armory and it
is officially announced that every ex-
,hibit will be in place and the show
ready when President Taft presses the
golden key in the White House the
N.mOrning of November Is.
Probably few realize what it means
to exhibit a full car of $40 boxes of
one variety of apples in contests open
TO the world. 1t is a big undertaking
and involves an expenditure ranging
from 500 to $1,000 for the selection
picking, packing, transporting, stor-
ing moving to the show ground and
unpacking and placing upon the racks
of from 10000 to 10000 apples. But
it is well worth the labor and expense
:. for the reason that the districts eX-
hibfting are brought prominently to
the 'front.' while the winners receive
advertising of a world wide character
Invariably this esta blishes reputation
with buyers and at once assures an
Immediate sale as well as future mar
ket for the grower.
The Grimes Golden Carload
Mr.. Sawyer, whose car of Grimes
Golden apples from the Sunnysidc
district was the first to reach Spokane,
Is arranging for a beautiful and at
tractive display. He is enthusiastic
over the apple show and has repeated
ly made the statement that whether
or not he wins. he considers the op-
r portunity to exhibit his fruit is one of
such importance he will be we'll re-
paid for his efforts and cash outlay.
Mr.. Atkinson is the only grower in
the northwest who is able to show a
straight car of Wegner apples suitable
for exhibition purposes. Many Wag-
ner orchards are coming into bearing,
put as each exhibitor must present a
sworn statement that all the apples in
This car were grown in his orchard, it
