Northwestern Apples.

A writer in “Ice and Refrlgoratioh” bestows a high compliment upon apples at tho World’s Fair grown in tho Pacific Northwest, as follows:' “It must be said right hdro, however, that apples from the Statos of Washington, Oregon and Idaho, which have not been in cold storage at all, to all appoarancos have kept quito as well us those which have been in storago. Idaho’s fruit, and that of the other States also, in a measure, is grown, on the mountains and in tho valleys, with irrigation and without, at altitudes ranging from 600 to <I,OOO foot ai*>vd tea level. Its appearance, size and flavor are all excellent, and it is obvious that tho apples are exceptional koopors, showing a length of lire after picking, without special treatment, that no fruit of the Eastern States or of tho Mississippi valley can hope to rival.”
