Moscow-The Idaho State horticul-
tural association has written George
S. Knapp, owner of the sweepstakes
prize winning carload of Wagner ap-
pies at the Spokane national apple
show this fall, requesting him to at
tend the meeting of the association at
Weiser, Idaho, January 26, n and 20
The invitation states that the Idaho
association desires to learn how to
grow, pick, pack and ship prize win
ming apples to the Spokane shows.
The information is to be included in
booklet to be issued by the associa-
ton as an advertising medium. The
matter is to be referred to the cham
Der of commerce.
Mr.. Knapp's orchard is six miles
northeast of Moscow at the foot of
Moscow mountain and has never been
irrigated.
Since the last Spokane apple show
many inquiries have been received
asking if it is true that such winning
fruit was grown in Idaho without irri-
cation. Mr.. Knapp says: "The i'm
portance and success of fruit growing
by means of irrigating in certain dis.
tricts tributary to Spokane must be
admitted and there are no legitimate
reasons why there should not be Ger.
tain districts in the Northwest tribu
tary to Spokane which successfully
produce good apples without irriga
ton. There is room for both and botf
can be made to pay with proper atten
tion."

The lead is from 16 to 20 feet wide.
The extent in length is unknown,
but it has been known for number OF
years that the placers of Breakfast,
Crystal and Silver creeks have giver
up tungsten, therefore the lead must
cross all of these creeks, which is ar
