' Tha hnrtlnnHtirtHta of tha countrv face aome very serious problems, which Will be discussed at the Council Bluffs meeting. Statistics. compiled by apple ' trad authorities show that, despite In creased demand and good prices, the apple crop of the. United Btates Is de creasing. In 1895 and 18t the annual crop was about ' 60,000,000 barrels. In 1906 it .was less than 40,000,000 barrels, and In 1907 and 1908 the total crop fell balow 10,009000 barrels. Thl -falling off wa due In large measure to unfa vorable weather conditions, which In Mlsapurt, the largest apple-growing , state in th- Union, resulted In almost a complete crop failure. r Sow acissonrl So Xt, It la Imposslbl to Change the weather by human effort, but It is possible to take precautions against frost and thus to save the apple cropa.

Th third Tuesday In October is celebrated as the annual "Apple Day" in many states. On. that day every per son Is supposed to eat at least one ap ple and to- give at least one apple to someone else. Apple cay has been ob served for six years ,nd th custom Is growing. X Tbs Soedieaa Apple. Horticulturists devote much time and attention to the production of new varie ties of apple. - The seedless" apple has arrived, and It is now possible that th fulfillment of the prophecy "There atnt goln' to be no oore" is imminent. The seedless apple hails from the irri gated orchards of Colorado, and It is saloT that it possesses a delicious flavor and no cor at all. It Is on of the star attractions at the Spokane show.

" There are no less than 500 standard varieties of apples grown In tho United States. Each section has its peculiar favorites, and some are grown to eat and some are grown to sell. The man from Oregoa or Washington will stake his fortune, his life and his sacred honor upon the proposition that a north western Spltsenberg is the best apple on earth. Any Virginian will accept his challenge and tide forth to battle as the Knight of tha Albemarle Pippin. The rural New Yorker will defend his i rT7i 1 1 ll xTvrT! mmm fas a J IS r Covey Motor Car Co. Seventh and Conch Streets Baldwins to the last ditch. The MIs- sourlan and Arkansas traveler will Join forces. In defence of the primacy of the Winesap. JBve At Wlnssap. It Is a well known fact to the people of the Ozark mountains In Missouri and Arkansas that tho Winesap apple is the best fruit' grown on earth. Dave Craig, when past the meridian of life, forsook the primrose path of dalliance and, turning his back upon the devil, en listed In tha army of tlie Lord and the Baptist church. From that day forth he never tasted red liquor nor Wine sap apples. He knew, as do all good Ozarkers. that the Winesap was the best fruit ever grown and he reasoned that Is therefore was the very variety of apple which Motner Eve ate In the garden. Perhaps the most popular apple with growors Is the Ben Davis. A Ben Davis apple Is fair to look- upon. It Is blgK red and tempting. It packs well, keeps welL, ships well. It grows in profusion and its trees are hardy frost resistors. Fj-om the sordid money making point of view the Ben Davis apple cannot be beat. But, pity the poor foreigners who buy thorn In ignorance, every , appla, eater of parts knows that a Ben Davis appla was designed only to sell.- They should- nver-be eaten. Nobody Zitkes Ben Davis. The Houston Post and the Kansas City Journal long have labored to warn the public against the hypocrisy of the Ben Davis. It' looks like an apple, it smells like an apple, it is an apple but It doesn't tasfe Hke an apple. No editor has come to th defense of this snare 'and delusion, but much remains to be done before Ban Davis is driven from the market places. It Is the foundation stone of more than on Swollen fortune made in apples. The big red apple Is the king of fruits. Fifty-five per cent of all the fruit trees In America are apple trees, and they yield more than 80 per cent of all tbe orchard fruits produced by the nation. There are 200,000,000 apple trees and the average crop per year. is about a bushel for eaoh tree. If all these trees were to bear a full crop In' any one year, the United Btates could feed tho whole world with apples. Notwith standing the decline In the apple yield, the apple still Is the best money maker in the whole catalogue of fruits. It la King Apple.
