harrow. The Caterpillar land leveler 

 and Cattr])illar sagebru,sh plow receive 

 gold nu-dal.s. Every type of machine or 

 iniplenu'iit entered by the company thus 

 received con.spicuous recognition. The 

 Holt exhibit is one of the largest in the 

 Palace of Agriculture, and with the out- 

 door display it occupies a larger area 

 than any other single agricultural ex- 

 hibit. Intelligent care in planning the 

 display and a liberal expenditure in 

 carrying out the details have made it a 

 distinct feature of the Exposition. The 

 rides of award recognize not only the 

 exhibit itself, but the company behind 

 the product, the world-wide distribu- 

 tion of the product itself, its civilizing 

 influence, and other factors that bear a 

 deep significance. 



Fire at the Bean Plant 



The Bean .Spray Pump Company, San 

 Jose, California, on the morning of May 

 29th had a very serious fire, causing 

 .f,50,0n() damage. The olTices, drafting 

 room and a portion of the machine shop 

 were burned. The company will not 

 be delayed, however, in the filling of 

 orders, as their branch at Lansing, 

 Michigan, will be able to take care of 

 their Northwest and Central West busi- 

 ness, and their branch at Fresno, Cali- 

 fornia, will supply Pacific Coast points 

 until the San Jose plant is in working 

 shape again. .\ large part of the ma- 

 chine shop was undamaged and was 

 running the afternoon of the fire. A 

 temporary office was established while 

 the fire was still burning, and the offi- 

 cers of the company state that though 

 they work under considerable incon- 

 venience for some time, business will 

 be continued as usual. The loss was 

 covered by insurance, and plans are 

 already under way for the construction 

 of a larger building and better equip- 

 ment in place of that which was de- 

 stroyed. This concern is well known 

 as manufacturers of spraying outfits, 

 centrifugal pumps and gas engines, and 

 it is interesting to know that they will 

 not be seriously set back by the fire. 



West Wenatchee elected the follow- 

 ing men to serve in their unit of the 

 Fruit Growers' League as directors: 

 Ed Denni.s, E. G. Pogiie, Carl Jones, 

 W. E. Reeves, and C. F. Kiser. T. F. 

 Roddy was elected delegate to the cen- 

 tral body. The League decided not to 

 engage in any form of commercial 

 business this year but to confine its 

 efforts towards the establishing of a 

 uniform pack and to assist in the gen- 

 eral supervision of selling agencies. 

 The League has already 300,000 boxes 

 of fruit signed up and a strenuous 

 campaign is being conducted for addi- 

 tional tonnage. 



Mr. C. T. Haskell has resigned as 

 Chairman of the Wenatchee North-Cen- 

 tral Washington Fruit Growers' League
