NATIONAL APPLE SHOW.

The national apple show held at
Spokane In December 1905 was re-
markablc success So remarkable was
1t that it settled at once the question
of a similar exhibit for 1909 and
preparations for this are already un-
der way.
At the 1908 show there were $35 900
in premiums awarded, and there were
more than 100000 paid admissions to
the show. The best carload exhibit of
apples obtained a cash premium of
81 900 and was sold to a firm in Liver
pool his carload of apples was from
Wenatcher, Wash, and contained $50
boxes, or 10000 apples, and scored
96 ii points out Of possible 100. The
other day a man in the Wcnatchee
country refused $4,000 an acre for his
hye-acre apple orchard. Like in
