BETTER FRUIT 



Page ip 



vidson says that at tlie establishments 

 of five other apple dealers in Sweden 

 and Norway the same thing occurred. 

 That as soon as he entered these places 

 they got a copy of Better Fruit and 

 pointed to his picture. "I'm convinced 

 now," said Mr. Davidson, "that wiier- 

 ever there is anything doing in fruit 

 Better Fruit is in evidence." 



As the result of his trip Mr. David- 

 son believes the export trade for 

 Northwest apples in England is a little 

 uncertain, owing to government con- 

 trol of prices, labor disturbances and 

 the depreciation in foreign exchange, 

 but looks for a very favorable season 

 at home. Germany, he thinks, will not 

 buy many .American apples this >ear 

 on account of unfavorable political, 

 labor and economic conditions, and is 

 likely to buy what she does use from 

 the Scandinavian countries. The lat- 

 ter, he is of the opinion, will not be 

 in the market for a very heavy tonnage 

 from this country. He reports the 

 apple crop in England as about nor- 

 mal and much larger than he expected, 

 and says that the situation there in 

 regard to American apples may be 

 cleared up later. 



Horticultural Events of Interest 



The thirty-fourth annual meeting of 

 the Oregon State Horticultural Society 

 was held August 14 to 16 at Astoria 

 and Seaside, and while the attendance 

 was not large, a number of valuable 

 papers were read and discussions took 



A READIER 



Market for Apples 



APPLES find a readier and quicker 

 market, among present day dis- 

 criminating dealer?, when they come 

 neatly and safely packed in the 



Universal Bushel 

 Shippin^Packa^es 



Furthermore the dealer need not repack 

 fruits or produce packed in Universal 

 Packages. This is an advantage and sav- 

 ing to him. 



Grocers and shippers will realize more 

 money on apple shipments this fall, by 

 considering this dealer preference for 

 LJniversal Bushel Shipping Packages. 

 Besides they are easier to pack, easier to 

 handle and ship and far more economical. 



A Sample Package 



will be sent anywhere upon receipt of 

 25c to cover cost of packinK and shipping.

 Land Products Show will be held at 

 Gresham, Ore., September 1.5 to 20. An 

 extensive premium list has been ar- 

 ranged for exhibits of fruits and other 

 land prf)ducts and it is expected that 

 the event will be on larger and more 

 successful scale than ever before at- 

 tempted. 



The Oregon State Fair is scheduled 

 this year for September 22 to 27, and 

 everything now points to one of the 

 best fairs that have ever been held by 

 the State Fair Association. Particular 

 attention is being given to securing a 

 fine horticultural exhibit as well as 

 to the other features in connection 

 with the fair. 



The Washington State Fair will be 

 held at Yakima, September 15 to 20, 

 and as usual will be of interest to fruit 

 growers and others interested in hor- 

 ticulture throughout the state. For 

 several years the horticultural exhibit 

 during this event has been one of the 

 finest on the coast. 



The Idaho State Fair will be held at 

 Boise, September 22 to 27, with a finer 

 exhibit of fruit this year than usual 

 on account of the bumper apple crop 

 in that stale. The Montana .State Fair 

 was held during the week of Septem- 

 ber 8 to 12 and contained a nuiid)er of 

 splendid exhibits of fruit from the 

 Bitter Root Valley. 



The Mid-West Horticultural Exposi- 

 tion, which will be held this year at 

 Des Moines, Iowa, November 10 to 15, 

 was given an appropriation by the 

 state of .$8,000 in addition to individu- 

 al subscriptions, and conditions are 

 said to be more favorable this year for 

 a real liorticultural show in the Middle 

 West than ever before. A large and at- 

 liactive premium list has been arranged 

 and all sections of the country are in- 

 vited to make exhibits.
