All of the booths need constant re-
plenishing, and everything sent here
is used to the best advantage posi-
BILE. Some of the fruit, grain and
grasses, vegetables, etc, does not ar
rive in perfect condition, and some
of 1t is not superior display material,
but it is used whenever and where
ever possible. In certain instances
there is fierce competition, and the di
rectors and representatives here get
discouraged over the failure to re-
ceive answers of any sort to the hun
dreds of specific requests sent o
well-known growers, firms, associa-
tions, commercial clubs, etc. Oregon
is making a creditable showing, but
it could make much better one If
some more of the really superior pro-
ducts Of all sorts grown in Oregon
were forwarded.
