tising medium, a place where the g^rower and consumer meet 

 and get in touch with each other. To this end our shows 

 of the future should be as free to the ]niblic as it is possible 

 to make them ; the financial support should some from the 

 state, and the fruit growers should insist that their legisla- 

 tors grant them money enough to carry on the show so that 

 there will be no paid admissions. Then there should be an 

 abundance of good fruit to be given away, so that every per- 

 son who visits the show should not only see the fruit, but 

 test its quality. It will be only through the widest publicity 

 that we can hope to get the attention of the public drawn 

 toward our products, and there is no better medium for so 

 doing, nor no cheaper way of doing it, than by good exhibi- 

 tions.
