Reilly Atkinson spoke at some length,
stating that he thought It was the opinion
OF OF those present not to hold an exposi-
ton themselves. He said that the united
association did not want to institute an
exposition themselves. but would well
come gladly an opportunity to compete
with other sections of the country in an
exhibition or products. He grew enthusi-
astic in speaking of the RESOURCES of the
irrigated states, and said that he was
sure every farmer OF the west would
welcome an opportunity to submit their
produce in comparison with the best of
the unirrigated lands of the east or mid
Gle west. He said that it would take q
spectator but an instant to choose be-
tween Utah or Idaho apple and one from
New York, or other eastern sections.
As temporary secretary of the meet
ing, Mr.. Atkinson then read a telegram
from the secretary OF the convention
league Of st. Louis. begging that the
united association hold its exposition
there, If no other point had been de-
cided upon.
w. Z. Wheeler, for years editorially
connected with newspapers. enlarged upon

farming sections. He also said that the
one secret Of advertising is to hammer.
and then hammer some more. trying every
KIND of publicity that gives any indica-
ton of producing results.
