VRITINC. ADVERTISERS MENTION BETTER FRUII 



BETTER FRUIT 



Ninth National Apple Show 



Continued from page 8 



and perhaps have compelled over- 

 crowding of other markets with the 

 better varieties. 



In considering the "doubtful" varie- 

 ties, Mr. Sickles said the location of the 

 orchards and the size of the fruit pro- 

 duced were distinct factors in deter- 

 mining, in each given case, whether the 

 variety was profitable. 



"Last year the growers of the North- 

 west shipped 1,000 or more cars of in- 

 fected fruit into hundreds of markets," 

 Mr. Sickles went on. "In some cases 

 these shipments paid the grower a 

 profit, if the shipment could be con- 

 sidered as standing by itself, but I do 

 not need to say that the total result of 

 this wormy campaign was a tremen- 

 dous loss to the growers of the North- 

 west." 



Washington State College won the 

 student judging contest at the Ninth 

 National Apple Show. The winners 

 follow: 



First, Roy Larson, Washington State 

 College; second, L. M. Bowman, Idaho 

 University; third, C. L. Firestone, Ore- 

 gon Agricultural College. 



Competition was keen, as the final 

 scores show: Larson, 93.32 per cent; 

 Bowman, 90.78 per cent, and Firestone, 

 90.25 per cent. 



The contest this year was conducted 

 along original lines. The contestants 

 were permitted to assist the regidar 

 judges in their work for one day, study- 

 ing their methods and profiting by their 

 scoring of disputed points. The stu- 

 dents were then delegated to judge ten 

 entries unaided, which they had not 

 seen the board judge. The judges then 

 made their awards on the same ten 

 boxes, and the students whose scores 

 most nearly approximated the official 

 figures were declared the winners. 

 Mr. Tweede stated that the scores of 

 the students on the entries were 

 approximately the same as those made 

 by the board. 



A great feature of Apple Show week 

 this year was a unique carnival which 

 the business men of Spokane staged to 

 make the time pleasant for their vis- 

 itors. The apple idea was carried out 

 sucessfully, as King Pip IX, imper- 

 sonated by Frank T. McCollough, and 

 Princess Apple Blossom, Miss Florence 

 Russell of the Spokane Valley, ruled 

 over the various events of the carnival. 

 Six of the important fruit districts 

 of the Northwest sent to the Court of 

 King Pip their most charming maidens 

 to act as the princesses of Apple Land. 

 During the week the royal party was 

 the center of a series of brilliant cere- 

 monies and social functions culminat- 

 ing in a visit from King Boreas of the 

 St. Paul Outdoor Winter Sports Car- 

 nival, and Mr. Louis W. Hill, i)residenl 

 of the Great Northern Railroad. Never 

 before has the carnival spiiit taken 

 such a complete hold ui)on the people 

 of Spokane and the Inland Empire. 

 Old and young, rich and poor forgot 

 their woes and joined in the merry 

 making on the streets. Thousands wore 

 special carnival costumes in the Apple 

 Show colors — red, green and yellow.
