NATIONAL APPLE SHOW
TO BE BETTER THAN EVER
$4,000 will be Raised This Year in
Spokane to be Expended on the
Big Show

throughout the Northwest. ms vii
be the launching Of a thoroughly or
ganized movement to solve the prob
lem OF distribution.
To secure the result conference o.
growers, city and country bankers,
transportation men and business men
will be held IN Spokane during the ap-
pie show, November II to 10. In
speaking Of the plan, W. T. Day,
president of the Day & Hanson Secu-
rity company and chairman of the ap-
pie show board Of trustees, said:
THE Northwest as an apple-produc-
ing district has gained the favorable
attention and recognition Of the world.
1t is now incumbent on US to 60 still
farther.
what we propose is conference
during the apple show to be partici-
pated in by the growers, city and coun-
try bankers, transportation men and
business men to try to throw some
light on the question Of distribution.
Competent authorities declare there is
no danger Of over-production of apples.
But we must get system of distribu-
ton perfected, and if the apple show
can be of service in this regard it will
be performing great work.
THE orchardists and buyers them
selves have no fear Of over-production
and men who are informed as to con-
ditions hold the same opinion.

conference planned should be Of great
value to the apple industry of the
Northwest. 1t will bring together men
representing all phases Of the work,
and the problems of distribution and
financing should be clarified to a great
extent as a result"
The trustees have determined to
place the apple show on a permanent
footing, and have named a board Of
governors containing representative
men of every apple district in the
Northwest, as we'll as Governors Marion
E. Hay of Washington, Oswald West
of Oregon, James H. Hawley of Idaho
and Edwin L. Morris Of Montana, and
the lieutenant governor Of British Co
lumbia.
H. c. Sampson, a man widely known
throughout the Northwest, has been
elected vice president and general
manager of the show, and has started
active preparations for the event. Mr.
Sampson has attained marked success
as business man and is thoroughly
conversant with the Northwest apple
industry.
Leading business men Of Spokane
have rallied substantially to the cause
of the apple show, and during the last
few days have pledged an additional
$8, 900, thus insuring $4,000 show
for this fall.
Educationally, the apple show this
year will be made exceedingly effective
and beneficial. Over and above the
advantages the growers will receive
from personal contact with other grow
ers who are successful, no pains will
be spared to bring expert and prac-
teal knowledge to their notice. All
that has been accomplished in the
perfection Of spraying apparatus, and,
in fact, all kinds Of orchard machinery
will be there for display and demonstra-
ton.
Going still farther into the field Of
education, it is the plan of the trustees
to show how much greater returns can
be had by the utilization of orchard
by-products. They would like to have
an evaporation on display, jelly plant,
cider plant and any other things
which make use Of the by-products.
And the amusement features also will
not be lost sight Of in the general plan
of making the apple show more useful.
