The article notes Missouri as a leading apple state by tree count, outranked by New York in production per census, with tallies of 20,040,399 Missouri trees and 15,054,832 in New York, alongside a total U.S. apple tree count of 201,974,642. It highlights Spokane show winner Michael Horan of Wenatchee, Washington, who exhibited 639 boxes of 50,000 apples, scoring 96 out of 100, and claims the fruit later reached England. It also names Judge Welihuse of Topeka as a rival quality king based on ownership of 1,600 acres of apple trees and 600,000 bushels sold for about $205,000. The piece shifts to a new 12 inch Mark XI gun testing in Woolwich with projected shipboard deployment, noting its longer range than the Mark X and expected Royal Arsenal orders.
