Professional Knowledge 



By Professional Knowledge we 

 mean exact information, the kind 

 thai is gained by scientific re- 

 search, by laboratory experi- 

 ments, by proving theories in 

 practice. 



Success in fruit raising demands 

 professional knowledge. So much 

 depends upon exact and positive 

 information. Guess-work is ex- 

 pensive anywhere. It is particu- 

 larly so for the fruit raiser. 



We maintain a department for 

 the dispensing of professional 

 knowledge, of scientific informa- 

 tion. It is in charge of Mr. S. W. 

 Foster, an entomologist of eleven 

 years' practical experience, six of 

 them in the United States Bureau 

 of Entomology, stationed on the 

 Pacific Coast. 



We know of no man better 

 equipped by thorough college 

 training, and wide experience, to 

 counsel the fruit grower. He is 

 at your service. He travels exten- 

 sively in orchard sections to keep 

 informed, and to ascertain the 

 best methods of insect and fungus 

 control. 



Definite and reliable directions 

 for treatment of your trees no 

 doubt will be of great value to 

 you. The results obtained by the 

 use of different spray materials, 

 and under varying conditions, are 

 yours for the asking. The time 

 and method of applying spray 

 materials are all-important. If 

 you are uncertain what to do, or 

 when to do it, write to us and 

 Mr. Foster will reply. 



We publish from time to time 

 bulletins giving the best available 

 information concerning insects 

 and diseases. Write for the one 

 in which vou are interested.

November 

 Tenth National Apple Show 



War posters and relics will be shown 

 in great numbers on "Liberty Street" 

 at the coming National Apple Show in 

 Spokane, November 19 to 24. Through 

 the assistance of the War and Navy 

 Departments and by appeal to United 

 States consuls in foreign ports, the 

 management has received the biggest 

 collection of war posters ever gathered. 

 Every week new consignments arrive, 

 and what was originally intended to 

 occupy a small corner of the buildings 

 has now been changed, and a large 

 department to be known as "Liberty 

 Street" will be used to show these 

 posters and relics. Every feature of 

 war service is depicted in brilliant pic- 

 torial issues.

The woman who can prepare the 

 best, well-balanced meal composed of 

 from five to ten dishes, for one person, 

 all made wholly or in part from apples 

 and carrying out the Hoover idea of 

 food conservation as far as possible, 

 will be awarded $50 in gold at the 

 National Apple Show in Spokane, No- 

 vember 19 to 24. This prize is the big 

 feature of the women's department this 

 year. It is open to any woman and no 

 entrance fee is required. Each meal 

 must be complete. Judging will be on 

 food value, palatability, attractiveness 

 and economy. The four women whose 

 meals are rated second in value will 

 each be given a $10 prize.

"Maiden Blush" and "Col. Newtown 

 Pippin" will be joined in wedlock on 

 the opening night of the Tenth National 

 Apple Show in Spokane, November 19. 

 The ceremonv will be performed by 

 the "Rev. Ben Davis." The bride will 

 be given away by her father, the "Sen- 

 ator," while her mother, the "Duchess," 

 is expected to mourn. The bride will 

 be attended by "Miss Delicious" and 

 "Miss Borne Beauty." "Col. Newtown's" 

 best man will be "Mr. Wagener." The 

 groom's only relative, "Brother Jona- 

 than," may be late in arriving, but his 

 lifelong friend, "Mr. Winesap," is ex- 

 pected in plenty of time and in his 

 customary inebriated condition. The 

 wedding spectacle is a pantomime, 

 planned on an elaborate scale. It will 

 be staged by Miss Marguerite Motie, 

 director of elocution and expression. 

 Miss Motie is more generally known as 

 "Miss Spokane," a tital bestowed by 

 civic bodies in recognition of her as 

 the city's formal representative on 

 many occasions. The many apple char- 

 acters made famous by Morris' cartoons 

 will be faithfully reproduced.

Four big feature parades, each dis- 

 tinctly different from the others, will 

 be the principal street attractions dur- 

 ing the National Apple Show in Spokane 

 November 19 to 24. A dominant note 

 of patriotism, appropriate to the war- 

 time spirit of the hour, will be empha- 

 sized in all of the street demonstrations. 

 The biggest parade of the week will be 

 Thursday night. It will be historic and 

 patriotic, illustrating scenes from Amer- 

 ican history, beginning with the land-
