at the Universal Exposition in Paris during 1900 for the best 

 display of apples. The others were received at the Chicago World's

Ozark Mountain grown apples have demonstrated that they 

 can compete in quality and price with those grown in any section of 

 America. Missouri apples have set the high-water record for 

 prices and with the publicity obtained therefrom during the past 

 winter, this State is in position to quickly become the banner fruit- 

 producing State in the country if the growers will standardize their 

 grading and packing and co-operate together to control the best 

 markets.
