GreiSen Advises Apples.

Chris Greisen returned last week
from trip through the east in the
interests of Better Fruit" The
following is copied from the editorial
columns of the Sturgeon Bay Wis.,
Advocate:
"Chris X. Greisen, of Hood River,
Ore, spent day or two in the city
the first of week, the guest of his
uncle. Chas Greisen. Mr.. Greisen,
who was former resident here is now
interested in thel fruit growing in
dustry of Oregon, being also assistant
editor Of a publication known as
Better Fruit. Among his duties is that
of travelling in the interests of the
association of fruit growers, and he
declared it his opinion that the people
Of this locality are making mistake
in all rushing into cherry growing.
He believes apple culture is an in
dustry that should be pursued more
generally than it is, this being better
keeper than the cherries and always in
demand, the market being hardly ever
overstocked with the better qualities,
which are eagerly sought for both at
home and abroad. He would advise
the planting of the winter varieties,
and more particularly those which
are recognized as the best keepers. In
planting a cherry orchards his advice
is to also put in apples at the same
time, so that when the former business
is overdone, as it certainly will be,
the growers will at once have the
king of fruit to fall back on.

WILL SHOW in
MINNEAPOLIS

Hood River will have an exhibit of
apples in Minneapolis this fall in the
Donaldson Quality Food and Fruit
Exposition which will be held by the
l.. S. Donaldson Company, which
opreates the largest department store
in that city. The Donaldson store
which occupies the Glass Block, so
named because of its enormous proper
ton of window space, held an apple
show last year which was very sue
eessful and this season is planning to
have a much larger exhibition. The
entire third floor of the building, which
occupies almost an whole block will be
given over to the food and fruit ex-
position and it will last for three
months during October, November and
December. The fruit show will start
at the end of the first month and it
will then be given the greatest promi-
nence insthe big exhibit.
The Hood River Commercial Club
in conjunction with the Apple
Growers Union will make an exhibit
in the Donaldson show. 1t is pro-
bable that about half a carload will
be sent from here and a plan has been
set on foot for White Salmon and
Mosier to work in connection with
Hood River so that full ear may be
made up from these sections. 1t will
be great advertisement for Hood
River both in the way of bringing in
people who will aid in developing
ment and also in the line and especial
ly in creating larger market for the
apples produced in the valley. The
exhibits will be shown in the spacious
third floor of the store and each exhibit
will be placed in the street display
window Of the store for a period of
several weeks.
Oliver D. Hefner, who was here
during the past week representing the
Donaldson company and arranging for
the Hood River exhibit, has recently
returned from a trip to Europe where
he was in touch with the leading
growers and packers of high grade
food products. The best in every line
will be on hand for the show and Hood
River apples will be there to show the
Minnesota people what the best apples
