Will the Blizzard last? 



Well, it looks that way 



How long will a Blizzard Ensilage Cutter last? Nobody knows. 

 Blizzards haven't been on the market long enough to wear out. 

 Most of the Blizzards — the original blower cutters — built I'i, 

 13, 14 years ago, are still going. James S. Wilson & Bro. of 

 Paris, Ky., have a customer who has used a Blizzard fourteen 

 years — without one penny repair cost. The 



BUZZARD 



Ensilage 

 Cutter 



is built to last. It is very simple. Little to get out of order or to 

 cause repair cost. The parts that wear can be replaced at small cost. 

 No other cutter so durable. 



Big results with small power 



A farmer's repnlar farm enf?ine will run 

 the Blizzard, handle the corn fast as the 

 corn can be fed to the machine, and 



hustle it to the top of any silo, no mat- 

 ter what its lieight is. Makes even-cut 

 silage. Self-feed table, takes the place 

 , of one man. 



Come in, get a catalog 



and let's talk over 



the Blizzard 



Buying: an ensilape cutter is a 



mighty important thing. We've 



got some things to tell you about 



cutters that maybe you don't know.

The .Sixth National .\pple Sliow will 

 he held at Spokane from November 

 111 to 21, l',)14. .Spokane deserves credit 

 for- originating the first exclusive apple 

 show ever held in the Northwest six 

 years ago. The first show was a phe- 

 nomenal success and the interest has 

 been so great annually and the attend- 

 ance so large, with so much of value 

 to apple growers, that the Spokane 

 business peojile, at considerable ex- 

 pense to themselves, have each \ ear de- 

 cided to continue the show which has 

 now become a permanent annual event. 

 Thiouuh a conference called by the 

 National .Xpple Show of Spokane the 

 .North Pacific Fruit Distributors was 

 <irganized. This year the api)le show 

 will endeavor to do something ijernia- 

 nent for the by-product business in 

 connection with the fruit industry. The 

 commiltee appointed last year has ac- 

 complished a great deal in this line and 

 are now prepared to present a general 

 plan which they believe will meet with 

 .ipproval. This plan will assist the 

 growers in taking care of the wastes, 

 convertin.g them into by-products and 

 disi)osing of them. In addition to the 

 wonderful exhibit which will lie made, 

 a splendid conference pr<igram is being 

 arranged to discuss all of Ihe im- 

 l)ortant sub.jects in connection with the 

 orchard industry. The Sixth National 

 ,\p]jle Show of Spokane is one which 

 deserves the earnest sujjport of every 

 fiiiitgrower in the Northwest. Every 

 Iran who possibly can should make an 

 exhibit and no grower in the Northwest 

 shoiili! fail to attend. 



The Manufacturers' and Land Prod- 

 ucts Show will be held in Portland, 

 Oregon, from October 2()th to Novem- 

 ber 14lh, at the armory. Many fruit- 

 growers and farmers will remember 

 with much interest and pleasure the 

 ver\ successful [.and Products Show 

 held in Poillanil two years ago, which, 

 iiolwithstanding Ihe fact that the build- 

 ing was very unattractive, was a great 

 success. This year the show will be 

 held in the ;n-iuory, which is ;i mag- 

 nificent and spacious building and one 

 especially suited for just such an exhi- 

 bition as the Manufacturers' and Land 

 Products Show intend to give. The 

 show will comprise exhibits from all 

 of the principal manufacturers of Ihe 

 Northwest and all kinds of products 

 from the land. These shows are won- 

 ilerfullx- interesting and exlremely in- 

 structive, and in addition to this much 

 pleasure is had by the visitor from the 

 opportunily for personal contact with 

 visitors from all parts of the countrx. 

 The show will be held under the .joint 

 management of the Manufacturers' 

 .\ssociation of Oregon and Ihe Pacific
