The trustees of the show have de.
cided to eliminate orchard land com.
paHies from making the Chicago show
vehicle for private advertising. This
has met with general approval, and the
land companies are assisting the vari
GUS commercial organizations and fruit
growers associations by contributing
to the expense funds, as they realize
that the movement will encourage emf.
grafton and investments and thus is
bound to be of great benefit to every
line of trade.
Representative committees have been
appointed in several districts to secure
pledges of the fruit required to make
the exhibits, also to handle financial
matters and see that the fruit is prop
erly assembled and placed on exhibition
in the best possible condition in SpO'
kane and Chicago. Commercial clubs
have been active in cooperating with
the fruit growers associations. Gen
orally, the rental charge for the dis
trict displays at Chicago has been
taken up by the chambers of commerce,
the growers pledging sufficient fruit fol
the exhibits.

of the show, is arranging for tour Of

terest fruit growers there in the Chi
cago show. He has already visited
many of the principal apple districts

better for enormous yields of fruit
Thousands of acres of new orchard;
will come into bearing this season,
he added, "and, judging from the
bloom-laden branches the young trees
will give satisfactory results.
"When the plan of moving the prl1e,
winning exhibits to Chicago was mrs.
suggested, there, was some doubt as y
its feasibility, but the keen interes5
the hearty cooperation and financlu
support accorded by the various als
tricts quickly determined the matter
Sufficient pledges have been received y
justify the trustees announcing Una
the Chicago exposition will be unosl
taken following the Spokane show, ana
we have every reason to believe tls'
practically every district in the morn
west will be adequately represented
