FRUIT TO
Be FEATURED
California Apple Show Will Boost
This Rather Than Quantity
Of Product

WATSONVILLE, Cal, Aug. 10
Preparations for the third California
Apple Show, which is to be held at
jacksonville from Oct. 7-12, are we'll
under way here. President o. d.
Stoesser has appointed his commit
tees and when all are in working or
der there will be over two hundred
men and women actively working for
the third state apple show, the floor
plans for the show have been adopted
the advance information is already off
the press, a number of the counties
in the state have already applied for
space this year and the show is pro-
crossing rapidly. The plans for the
apple show this year call for a class
of show that is entirely different from
any ever attempted here or elsewhere
on the coast. Beauty and quality of
exhibit count more heavily this year
than quantity, the arrangement of
the exhibits will be different from that
of past years here, and the show from
one end to the other justifies the
catchy slogan of "the Apple Show Diff
ferent" that has been adopted.
The show this year will cover co.
600 square feet. an area one-third
larger than that of the Coliseum.
which housed the recent famous re-
publican national convention. While
there were exhibits last year from fif-
teen counties, it is anticipated this
year that twice that number will en-
ter. The prize list this year is larger
than ever before and every apple pro-
ducing section in the state will be
welcome to exhibit Already hum
dreds of inquiries from all over the
state have been received in regard to
the coming exposition, which is des-
tined to be the grandest as we'll as
the largest apple show in the world.
jacksonville, which annually ships
5000 carloads of apples, Is fitting
place to hold such a show and the
eyes of the apple world are already
centered on this city from far and
wide.
