Atkinson Tells of Congress.
Reilly Atkinson of Boise. who is
attending the National Land and r.
rigation congress in Chicago, in a
letter to friends in Boise. said that
the Idaho exhibit is fully one-third
of the entire exposition. Continuing
Mr.. Atkinson said:
THE exposition is being held in
the Coliseum. and the big building
is crowded to its capacity.
"This is the second show that has
ever used the annex to the Coliseum
and the latter, as well as some of the
balcony. is completed filled. All
the great agricultural states are
well represented and Hood River and
Wenatchee have beautiful fruit dis
plays
Idaho among them ALL has not
only a magnificent exhibit of fruit
but has over 600 varieties of grasses
and grains and vegetables gathered
from all over the southern part of
the state That this section of the
country has been well advertised is
evident from the numerous inquiries
received each day. and all Of the
visitors who seem interested in the
exposition invariably come to the
Idaho section and ask about the
country
-Four hundred boxes of apples
have been set up in the annex. and
the general exhibit is on the main
floor The fact that so many va
rieties can be grown in the southern
part of Idaho, and that one state
can produce such an excellent exhibit
has been the source Of much COM
ment and has reflected a great deal
of credit on the state.
Quality Pleases Visitors.
1.-THE size Of Idaho's showing is
not attracting as much attention
from the visitors as is the quality
There seems to be no question but
that Idaho has the finest products
on exhibition. The fruit is brighter
in appearance and of superior /
eating quality. On Sunday last, when
10 was apparent that there would not
be room to show the entire exhibit /
from Idaho. some Rome Beauty APP
pies were put up on sale. at four
for % cents. and during five hours
$1O1 worth were sold.
There SENS to be no limit to
the demand The committee has
been offered several dollars for one
sheaf of wheat or oats to be used
for advertising purposes by land and /
bond companies"
