THE HORTICULTURISTS MEET.
A Hundred Fruit Growers Participate In
a Lively Discussion.
This morning there was a goodly
number at tho Stato Insurnnco hall to
participate In nnd listen to tho points
of Interest brought out at tho meeting
of the fruit growers held thero undor
tho auspices of the county hortlcult
urnl society. The opening remarks or
address of wolcoino were made by the
president or the society, Judge J. R.
Falrbank. He was rollowcd lu a re
sponse by J. R. Shcpard, of Zena, and
hot Ii of these gentlemen spoke in gen
eral terms. Tiioy agreed thnt fruit
raising for domestic comfort was a do
clded success, and pointed out tho
necessity for closer attention to the
matter of making a tlnaiiclal success
of tho Industry.
The tlrst paper presented was that
of Pror. V. 11. Hedrlek on the "Rela
tion of Stato Experiment Stations to
tho Fruit Growers" Ho showed that
experiment stations are or recent ori
gin, and gavo those present a general
Idea of tho workings and bonollts or
tho work done at such.
Tho paper or Prof. A. B. Cordloy on
"Fruit Pests and Their Remedies"
was a very practical affair, discussing
tho pests better known to tho fruit
growers nnd tho mnnrtnncn nf
eradicating them. He cautioned rnut
men to he careful not to trot adulterat
ed chemicals, suclias Paris green and
London purple, as thus they might
loso the ontlro vuluuof their spraying.
Tho extermination or bugs, lice, ct.,
Is no longer looked upon with disre
spect, but Is acknowledged a part or
every rrult grower's business. Ho
should look to this as much as to the
cultivation of the soil or the handling
i his crop, xihs paper was Highly
appreciated.
Stato Horticultural commissioner
ii. j-;. uoxciigavo un interesting ob
ject lesson by presenting samples or
the apple canker nnd tho pear crater
blight. Tho remedy offered ror both
Is to cut out tho affected parts and
treat with a strong solution of bluo
vltrol. A very Interesting discussion
followed which brought out tho points
that tho crator blight, black spot and
npplo canker nro closely related If not
tho Identical disease In different forms
Mr. Dosch brought out tho vuluablo
points that these diseases woro most
provalout In low or wet places. Ho
also recommended very highly tinder
draliingotud said if ho were again to
plant nu orchard on clay land he
would dynamite It ten feet deep to
break up tho hard pan. Ho Bays ho
would under-draln his orchard land
from threo to four fcot deep, placing
tho tllo rows Just above tho fiard pan,
and then plant his trees directly over
tho tiles.
Upon being asked tho vnluoof whlto
washing trees Mr. Dosch Bald It was
not u good practice, as It "closed up
tho poreB of tho bark and prevented
rree breathing as It woro. Ho thought
It was much llko putting a coat or tar
upon the human skin. H whlto
washing Is done nt all it should lo lu
the rail when tho rains will gradually
wash It off and thus sorvo as a cleans
ing process.
To tho olllccrs of tho local society,
and nspeclully to Mrs. Wnnds, the sec
retary, great credit is duo for the
successful outcome of tho meeting.
A good attoudancoor the most Intelli
