Missouri Apples Won.

The superiority of Missouri
fruit has long been maintained
and loudly acclaimed by natives
of the state but has been disput-
ed frequently by those living else
where. 1t is only natural there
fore that Missouri fruit growers
should be somewhat jubilant over
the showing recently made at the
Panama-P acific Exposition just
closed.
G. A. Dennison, chief Of horti-
culture of the exposition, in let
ter to the Missouri State Board Of
Agriculture states:
Next to California (and it is
only natural that California
should lead in horticultural Mis-
souri, carries off more me dals than
any other of the exhibiting states.
That medal of honor was award
ed for the continuous display of
fresh fruit is praise enough.
The Missouri apple won at the
exposition and on the coast it was
a better-flavored fruit and bet
ter keeper under equal conditions
than the western apple. The APP
pie exhibit located in the center
Of the Palace Of Horticulture, was
installed in February and was
maintained throughout the year..
easily the most popular horticul-
tural section winning new fame
both in the capturing of. more
medals and in proving the keep
ing qualities of Missouri apples.
The only thing needed to make
our fruit crop as profitable as it is
superior is for systematic spray
ing and pruning to become gener-
ally and consistently followed
with us as it is elsewhere. Once
let the power sprayer become as
common a sight in the Missouri
orchard as is the binder in the
wheat field and the permanent SUI
periority Of Missouri fruit is
