Demonstrations at Four-Day
Meeting in December.

When the fruit men of the north
west gather for their annual confer
ence at Spokane December 1913, they
will meet in a bower of apples. Fruit
will be banked in pyramids, baskets
and other fancy displays around the
four sides of the room, while the walls,
pillars and arches will be laden with
branches from which the ripe fruit
will be hanging. AS many as possible
of the standard varieties will be exhib-
tied and the decorative committee,
headed by L. M. Davenport, will keep
alwiys in mind the artistic effect which
can be brought about by the blending
of the differently colored apples, all
against the background of leaves and
branches.
The decorative scheme, besides Civ
ing unique appearance to the con-
vention hall, will keep up the feature
exhibits which for eleven years have
been prominent at the National Apple
Show The apple show is omitted this
year as a wartime necessity, but the
fruit men have grown so accustomed
to hold their annual gatherings in an
apple atmosphere that an effort will be
made to make them feel at home as
usual.

RIOTS IN BRUSSELS SMALL.
Exaggerated Reports of Conditions
There Sent Out.

uCfC 0CUh Ohls
With the British Armies.-While the
king of Belgium was making his entry
into Client recently rumors came of
wild happenings in Brussels and these
to some extent were confirmed by a
deputation which came from the cap
ital with safe conduct through the en-
envy lines and with the sympathy, it
seems, of German troops. to inform the
king that the Brussels people desired
a more popular form of constitution
under the monarchy. This deputation
consisted of members of the socialist
and Catholic parties and the king con-
ferred with them on the situation.
What happened in Brussels seems
to have been exaggerated and from a
reliable source in Client | hear that
the rioting and demonstrations that
occurred there have been due to the
revolt of German soldiers against their
officers and not to any revolutionary
spirit among Belgian civilians. German
soldiers threw all discipline to one
side as soon as the armistice was
signed, killed some of their officers,
tore the badges off the uniforms of 9TH
ers and seized the motor cars in which
they were getting away They then
raised the red flag above the royal
palace and paraded through the streets
singing THE Marseillaise."

CHANGE APPLE GRADES
FOR ALL THE STATES
Proposal to Make New Box Standards
viii Be Discussed at Big, Con-
ference in Spokane.

All box apples marketed in the
United States are likely to be govern
ed by new grading rules, promulgated
by federal law. as the result of ex-
tensive Investigations which have
been carried on for over year by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and which are now being brought
near close. Such law would make
sweeping changes in the grading of
northwestern apples but if senti-
ment crystallizes along the lines now
indicated, such changes are highly
probable.
The proposal to change the grades
and to establish new standards by
federal law will be the big subject
of discussion at the joint conference
OF apple growers and other fruit men
to be held in Spokane December 10
13 in connection with the annual
meeting of the state horticultural
society.
Under the present system each one
Of the northwestern states is govern
ed in apple grading by state laws.
In a general way these grades are
similar but there are differences
which often make complications in
marketing and result in dissatisfac-
ton to grower and dealer. This is
especially true where an apple grow
ing district is divided by state line
On one side of the line the grade
for a certain variety OF apple may
call for a certain percentage of color
while SO feet away in sister state
a different percentage is upheld by
the law. Under the proposed federal
system of grading all such differences
would be eliminated-the same stand
ards obtaining for all box apples
packed for interstate shipment.
Beginning about year ago the blu
reau of markets of the department o
agriculture instituted an investigation
Of the various grades in the western
states. Conditions were thoroughly
examined and missionaries were
sent out to thousands of growers ant
to dealers, the result being a mass o
