The combined Multnomah County l-'air and Oregon Manufacturers and Land Products Show will be held at Gresham, Ore., September 1.5 to 20. An extensive premium list has been ar- ranged for exhibits of fruits and other land prf)ducts and it is expected that the event will be on larger and more successful scale than ever before at- tempted. The Oregon State Fair is scheduled this year for September 22 to 27, and everything now points to one of the best fairs that have ever been held by the State Fair Association. Particular attention is being given to securing a fine horticultural exhibit as well as to the other features in connection with the fair. The Washington State Fair will be held at Yakima, September 15 to 20, and as usual will be of interest to fruit growers and others interested in hor- ticulture throughout the state. For several years the horticultural exhibit during this event has been one of the finest on the coast. The Idaho State Fair will be held at Boise, September 22 to 27, with a finer exhibit of fruit this year than usual on account of the bumper apple crop in that stale. The Montana .State Fair was held during the week of Septem- ber 8 to 12 and contained a nuiid)er of splendid exhibits of fruit from the Bitter Root Valley. The Mid-West Horticultural Exposi- tion, which will be held this year at Des Moines, Iowa, November 10 to 15, was given an appropriation by the state of .$8,000 in addition to individu- al subscriptions, and conditions are said to be more favorable this year for a real liorticultural show in the Middle West than ever before. A large and at- liactive premium list has been arranged and all sections of the country are in- vited to make exhibits.
