quality of apples ranked high according 

 to the grouping of the score card. The 

 beauty of this exhibit was largely due to 

 the efforts of Mr. B. F. Hurst, who had 

 it in charge. 



Twin Falls, Idaho, had the best exhibit 

 at the exposition, from the standpoint of 

 variety. Their exhibit contained a large 

 .variety of apples in addition to large 

 quantities of vegetables of every type 

 as well as field products, showing the 

 possibilities of diversified farming in that 

 region. This was in the hands of Mr. 

 .\. P. Senior, of Twin Falls. 



Chelan. Washington, had a small 

 exhibit of lirst-class fruit, prominent in 

 ivhich was the Delicious apple. They 

 won first premium on this variety as well 

 as a few others. This was all non- 

 irrigated fruit and showed the possibihties 

 of production in that region. 



Of the Middle Western States, i\Ir. 

 C. E. Mincer, of Iowa, had the largest 

 exhibit. Mr. Mincer attracted much

fruit at last year's exposition. He also 

 attracted his share of attention this year, 

 because he was one of the few men in his 

 section who was able to save his crop by 

 orchard-heating. He had a large number 

 of boxes as well as a variety of plate 

 displays. One feature of this exhibit was 

 a large number of boxes which were 

 shown at last year's exposition and kept 

 over in cold storage for this year's 

 display. 



.Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska were 

 weW represented in the plate displays, 

 and each had a few boxes on exhibit. 



Texas sent a large display of apples, 

 citrus fruit-^ .'ind nut^. They were given 

 lir-^t premium on artistic display. A 



large "Lone Star" decorated the center 

 of one of their big tables. 



Louisiana was represented with an 

 exhibit which was made up of a diversi- 

 fied lot of fruits. One day was given 

 over to this delegation and was know.n 

 as "New Orleans Day." A large dele- 

 gation from New Orleans made it quite 

 apparent that their city was the "logical 



point" for the Panama Exposition in 

 191.5. The Governor of Louisiana was to 

 have been the principal speaker on that 

 day, but was detained at the last moment 

 and Senator Barrett of Louisiana spoke 

 in liis place. The senator won his hearers 

 and gave a very good address.
