The Spokane fruitgrowers had one 

 of the most novel and interesting ex- 

 hibits as well as attractive in the wh(de 

 show, featuring the "Redskin Brand". 

 This whole display was rendered addi- 

 tionally attractive by the exhibition of 

 Indian relics, — beads, baskets and other 

 paraphernalia, — all being in perfect 

 harmony and accord with the name of 

 the brand. The exhibit of Indian relics 

 was valued at over .f2,000. During the 

 entire show an Indian, dressed in his 

 native costume, was always on the job, 

 commanding a great deal of attention. 



Perhaps one of the most instructive 

 features of the exhibit was that en- 

 gaged in by six different fruitgrowers' 

 organizations with an exhibition of 

 ditferent varieties of apples, consisting 

 of fifteen boxes of each variety, five 

 boxes of each being packed in the regu- 

 lar pack, — Extra Fancy, Fancy and C 

 grade. The importance of this exhibit 

 was its educational value in showing 

 not only how the diflerent grades are 

 put up but how they should be put up. 



The Schmidt Lithograph Co. had a 

 very attractive exhibit showing the im- 

 portance of making fruit attractive in 

 packages by the use of labels. They 

 made two displays, one group contain- 

 ing a number of labels which they 

 had made for the different associations 

 and fruit concerns throughout the 

 Northwest, and the other booth being 

 exceedingly attractive, showing a box 

 of big apples with the "Skookum" label 

 at the end of the box. 



The Practical Box Marker Co., Otis 

 Orchards, Washington, commanded a 

 great deal of attention because they 

 were exhibiting their roller stamps 

 which are designed to stamp on the 

 end of the box, in one movement, the 

 variety, grade, number of apples con- 

 tained in the box and the grower's 

 name. The growers took much interest 

 in this exhibit because every fruit- 

 grower is out these days for something 

 to save money in the cost of production.

One of the most attractive exhibits of 

 the whole show was that made by the 

 Yakima Valley Fruit District Growers' 

 Association, consisting of Winesaps, 100 

 boxes being arranged in the form of a 

 large letter "Y". The apples were all 

 of magnificent color, beautifully packed 

 and the whole exhibit exceedingly 

 attractive. 



Mr. Henry Tweed of Pullman, who 

 prepared the exhibit from Brewster 

 which won the Sweepstakes at the 

 Panama Exposition, was much com- 

 mended by the many fruitgrowers who 

 were present over his success in pre- 

 paring the exhibit which won the prize.

Mrs. S. .\. ^Vright of Opportunity, 

 Washington, exhibited a new variety 

 of apple known as "The Oregon Red 

 Winter," which \\t\n the jirize for the 

 best new variety on exhibition at the 

 show.

 , "^^.^ ywo ESSENTIALS in a power sprajer are a tliorouglily dependable engine of ample horsepower and a positive 

 ana rciiauio pressure reculatcr that will Insure uniform pressure nnd eliminate unnecessary wear. 



.. T^^ AVERAGE SPRAY RIG is equipped with a cheap engine and a nialte-shift pressure relief Talve or diaphragm 

 Which IS exposed to tlio corrosive action of tlie spray material, which soon puts it out of commission. 



THE ALPHA AUTOMATIC PRESSURE GOVERNOR with which the Alplia Spray OutHt is equipped Is a simple 

 arrangeinent uf two levers and a spring on eatli plunger connecting rod, which, when the pressure reaches a prc-deter- 

 ninied limit, automatically discontinues the operation of the pump without intemipting the driving power, again permit- 

 ting It to resume operation when the pressure tails below the point at which it has been set. 



THIS INSURES SAFETY, secures uniform pressure, and eliminates unnecessarj' wear (no liquid pumped except It 

 passes through the nozzles), ihe pressure relief is not dependent on the operation of a sluggish or defective relief valve, 

 but is positive and mechanical, thus malting it impossible to run the pressure up to the danger point. 



THE POWER PLANT, depending on the size rig, is either a 2^-H.r. or a 3^-H.P. .4Jpha Engine, equipped vvith a 

 "built-in," gear-driven, positively-timed magneto, requiring no batteries or coil, and is easily started on the magneto 

 without cranking. 



CAN YOU AFFORD to own a spray outfit that will balk? When you get ready to spray you have no time to tinker 

 with a defective engine, pump or relief valve, but want an outfit that is capable of a continued high pressure maintenance 

 and ono that is thoroughly dependable in every particular, 



THE ALPHA AUTOMATIC SPRAY OUTFIT will meet your most exacting demands. The entire framework is mhde 

 of channel and angle iron, fitted with a wToueht steel bedplate on which the engine and pump are mounted, direct con- 

 nected with machine-cut steel gears.
