Best Display.

The Western Montana Apple show
Is the outcome of the action of the
Montana Horticultural society. which
recommended, at its meeting held
early in the season the holding of an
apple show in Missoula. that city be-
ing considered the most rentral point
for the holding of a fruit display. The
society is acting in conjunction with
the Missoula Chamber of Commerce
and the commissioners of Missoula
county have subscribed literally to
the enterprise. There is no doubt but
that this will be the best display of
fruit ever attempted in Montana. and
all of those connected with the grow
Ing of fruits should be interested. The
show Will attract a great many peo-
pie from the outside who are looking
for investments in orchard lands IN
the west. and every effort should be
made to show the best in the line of
fruits. vegetables. etc. AS the result
can only spell good for the Bitter
Root valley in particular. and western
Montana in general. The Bitter Root
valley is the queen valley of the west
and should be properly represented.
