NEW STANDARD IS
SET FOR APPLE BELT
Spokane. When the Third National
Apple show closed a new page In hor
ticultural history was recorded and
the most striking feature was the ex
tremely high average established from
five widely separated sections of the
great Northwest's apple belt
"There never has been in the his
tory of the apple show," said H. O.
Frabach, secretary of the Ashland,
Ore., Commercial Club, who has had
charge of one of the high scoring car
loads at the local show, "an exhibit
which produced so many high averages
or such a vast number of apples so
near perfection." .
The highest rating last year was
that of all Spitzenbergs from' the
Rogue River Valley, with 981. This
year five cars exceeded that record by
a liberal margin, the highest, on Hood
River Spltzenburgs, which took the
sweepstakes, being 997, or only 3-1000
short of absolute perfection. Wenat
chee Spizenbergs with a rating of
991.4; Hood River Newtowns, 988.1;
Yakima Spitzenbergs, 987.9, and Yel
low Newtowns from the Ashland dis
trict of the Rogue River Valley witi
983.7, all exceed the highest average
