HOOD RIVER SUPREME AT PORTLAND
Hood River, as Usual, Carries or About
All the Prizes at the Portland
Apple Show.

the awards, II was mostly a confess
between the different Hood River
growers rather than any outside com
petition. The Mosier exhibit was il
our class, but was ruled out on ac.
count of size, the apples being toe
large according to the rules laid dowr
by the judges. We lost out on the
three box Spitzenburg exhibit foi
the same reason.
1t was the best show that Portland
ever had. The location in the heart
of the city was a great factor in swell.
ling the attendance, and the advertis,
ing which the show received through
the city papers each day aroused much
interest.
Hood River maintained her reputa-
ton against all comers as was ex-
pected her, and if any doubt remained
in the minds of the people from any of
the other districts which claim to
grow apples "as good as Hood River
they ought to be convinced. An i'm
provement was noted in the quality OF
the pack from some of the other dis
tricts, however, and emphasizes the
fact that Hood River must keep up
the lead in the future. A close imi-
tation of Hood River methods is max
ing an improvement in all the box
apple sections. Our pack can be
closely initiated, and we will have to
maintain out lead not only on pack,
but color, size. grading and keeping
qualities. We cannot afford to lose.
The exhibition of the Hood River
exhibit at Portland alongside the ex-
hibits from other sections will dc
much good in an advertising way.
While the majority of the attendance
was from Portland and of a class
which are not particularly interested
in the different fruit sections, yet
there were good many strangers and
others particularly interested in seek.
ing new locations who will be con
vinced that Hood River can deliver
the gods.
