ing street carnivals and harvest cele-
brations will cost more than 100000,

The institution is not money
making enterprise in any sense of the
term; in fact, we will do well if we
can keep the expense inside of the ap-
preparation. Every contest is free and
open to the world, not penny being
charged for entry fees or for space
occupied by exhibitors The chief aim
is to exploit the industry by encourag-
ing the growing of wholesome fruit
and popularizing the apple as a health
full food product also assisting the
growers in solving orchard and mar
ket problems.
I'VE shall have this year in connec-
ton with the exposition a series of
growers conventions. country life
meetings and tests of orchard appli-
ances, also a free packing school and
