Lownsdale, of Lafayette, has a magnificent collection of apples in which three-tier Baldwins and four-tier Spitzenbergs vie with the Ben Davis, Home Beauty, Monmouth Pippin, Belle- fleur. King, Northern Spy and Rhode Island Greening for supremacy. Mr, Lownsdale's collection Is Invaluable to the amateur horticulturist, for ho has demonstrated the different systems of wrapping, packing and handling apples to the best commercial advantage to the grower.

Van Dorn. of Dayton, is exhib iting some fine Baldwins, Ben Davis, Arkansas Blacks and Northern Spies. His booth also contains Mayette walnuts, soft ohell almonds and Italian chestnuts. F. W. Wallace shows a nice lot of three tier Kings and four-tier Rome Beauties. While the exhibitors named have the largest individual collections, they don't assume to be "the whole show." In the large number of plate exhibits can be seen apples of every variety that are hard to excel In any part of the world as to countour, size and color. J. H. Good rich, of Dayton, 'has some Winter Bald wins, grown last year, that are perfectly eound, though slightly shriveled. It Is the general opinion that much re sponsibility rests upon the judges who are to award among the 100 dislays of apples the nine silver cups to be given as premiums by the business men of Mc Mlnnville. In the English walnut display Prince & Son. of Dundee, are in the lead with a large collection of the different varie ties that by actual demonstration they have found to be adapted to the soil and climate of old Yamhill.

PRUME MARKET HARD HIT Growers Who Have Not Shipped Get Notice Fruit Can't Be Handled SALEM, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) The financial stringency has affected the Ore gon prune market about as much as it has affected anything . Because of the scar city of money the market has become absolutely dead. The packers are now shipping the crop, but have been re quested by some of the Eastern buyers to delay shipments as payments cannot be made. i-acners nave contracted ror more prunes than they have sold and now there Is absolutely no sale for the fruit. In consequence of this the few growers who have not yet sold are unable to get any kind of an offer. It takes a large amount of money to buy, pack and ship a prune crop and the financial crisis came Just at the time when packers had to have the money in order to handle the crop promptly. No permanent loss la antici pated, unless some of the packers may have bought too heavily at the top oj the market and may not be able to make their contracts good. Was Once Well Known Here.
