ROAKFORD, VA., October 7. Preparations for Roanoke's big apple show and the meeting of the State Horticultural Society in December are rapidly taking shape; Not only is there expected to be a record-breaking attendance at the horticultural convention, but the apple show is expected to draw the largest crowd in the history of Virginia at a similar exposition. The auditorium building, where the recent Democratic convention was staffed, has been secured for the coming exhibition. The spacious floor has been provided into exhibition spaces for anything relating to the apple industry. Nursery stock, sprays, spraying machinery, barrels and boxes for packing and all the various articles used in raising, packing and selling apples, will be exhibited. Exhibits of apple products, such as Jellies, preserves, vinegar, older, dried fruit, and canned fruits will be entered for the handsome prizes which will be offered. Hundreds of members of the State Horticultural Society will be in Roanoke on December 5, 6, and 7, during which time the apple show will be held. Apple growers from every part of the State, and people interested in the apple industry from many surrounding States, have already written to the Roanoke Chamber of Commerce for space at the coming show. Authorities on the apple industry state that the December exhibition in Roanoke will exceed all others ever held in this section of the United States. $2,000,000.00 REAL ESTATE BONDS TO NET  Secured By Improved Income Property in U.
