DEEP INTEREST IN
APPLE SHOW
Especial to Silver State.)

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 12.-"W We
take off our hats to the western fruit
growers and recognize the wonderful
qualities of their product. Unless east
ern growers improve their methods of
fruit growing, improve their package,
improve their product and raise their
standard they will, to a large extent,
be driven out OF the markets of the
world by western fruit
The foregoing is contained i'll a
statement by Simons, Shuttleworth &
French company of New York, i'm
porters and exporters of fruits, with
houses in London, Liverpool, Man
chester, Paris, Glasgow, Hamburg and
Antwerp, to be published in large
number of trade journals in the eastern
and New England states.
w. NJ French, treasurer of the
firm, who has forwarded copy Of the
statement to II. j. Neely, first vice
president of the National Apple show
says in letter that his company will
enter exhibits of New York State
Baldwins, Spies, Greetings, Newton
Pippins and Kings in competition for
eastern special, the Denney and com
pany special and single box classes.
He added that while in Virginia, a
short time ago, he heard considerable
talk about apples being sent from the
Old Dominion to the show in Spo-
kane, and was also advised that dis
tricts in other parts of the south will
be represented in the various class as
outside the carload competitions, in
which the sweepstakes are $1,000 in
gold and the title of apple king.
Mr. French says that the statement,
from which the extracts at the open
ing of this article were made. was pre-
pared by the company for wide circu-
lation among growers and consumers of
apples in eastern and New England
states The full text follows:
eve are in sympathy with the Ma
tional Apple show, which will be held
for the second time in Spokane, from
do we approve of it that our New York
firm has sent several barrels of the best
New York state apples that could be
obtained, to be exhibited, and show tc
the thousands of persons who will visit
the show that, in spite of the fact that
the great northwest produces the hand
soonest apples in the world, little old
New York is not yet out of the run
ming when it comes to producing apples
of quality, flavor and appearance.
Whether we win any prizes does
not concern lis. We are doing our little
mite to uphold the dwindling reputa
tion of eastern apples.
eve take off our hats to the west
ern apple-growers and recognize the
wonderful qualities of their product
Unless eastern growers improve theil
methods of fruit growing, improv,
their package, improve their product
and raise their standard, they will, tC
large extent, be driven out of the
market of the world by the western
fruit.
fThe National Apple show is great
institution, doing a great work for the
apple industry OF the world in general
and of the great northwest in partieu
lar. We hope it will be fraught with
the success it deserves and with great
and lasting benefits for all concerned. y
Rem II. Rice, secretary manager OF
the organization, said the foregoing

Tested al over the country in the com
ing apple show, adding:

continent, and we are all but showed
under with correspondence, and entries
are coming in by every mail Our
chief problem this year will be to pro
vide space for all the exhibits. There
will be hundreds of them.
