In speaking OF the show Manager
NJ ]. Higley, of the Idaho-Oreson
Fruit rGowers Association said: 1T
was the greaestt show ever held in
Spokane. The amount of apples
, shown was not as large but the
judges were a unit in stating that
the fruit shown was the most classy
exhibit ever gathered together.
THE show was admirably located
being just three blocks from the
Spokane hotel. Three large ten s.
were used and big warehouse. On
the first floor of the warehouse the
apples were assembled and on the
second floor the conferences were
held at which the fruit growers were
addressed by the best posted author
tiles in the United States on every
phase of the fruit growing industry.
At these conferences. or round table
discussions many important features
of the orchard industry We're talked
over. The lectures delivered were |
SO good and considered of so much |
importance TO the grower that ar
rangements were made to have the
complete discussions published in
book form which will be furn shed |
to any grower at actual cost of pub
lication which will be forty cents per
copy. Any grower in this section |
desiring this report can secure the
same by calling at the office of the
Idaho Oregon Fruit Growers Ass soci-
alton and leaving their name"
Three very important matters were
taken up at the show at these con-
ferences and committees appointed
from every fruit growing section 10 |
thoroughly look into the different
subjects and arrange for permanent
organization if found advisable.
The first of these was committee
to draft and work for standard ap-
pie box bill to be Introduced in
Congress. The member On this CON-
mittee from Southern Idaho is w.
N. Yost. Of Boise.
The second was q committee to In

ing a Northwest Protective League.
Elk Governor Frank Gooding was ap-
potates, from this section on that
The object of this COM
mittee would be to get the horticul
tural laws in the northwest states
made uniform and in every way
possible protect the fruit growers
interest,
DThe third committee appointed was
on by-poducts and Manager M, J,
Higley, of the Idaho Oregon Fruit
Growers Association, was appointed
on this committee. The object of
this committee is to investigate along
the lines of the uses of canned goods.
How much canned goods is used in
the northwest fruit growing states?
How much is furnished by the north
west and how much Is imported? All
OF which is very important to the
fruit grower of this section.
According to Mr.. Higley the show
was success In every particular not
only as to quality of fruit shown but
as to the information impaired to
growers at the conferences which
we're held all day long. The closing
feature of the show was banquet
rendered by the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce at the Hotel Davenport
on Friday evening at which over
two hundred growers were entertain
