What the meeting lacked in attendance was made up in the seriousness with whichactual fruit crowing problems were discussed. The 31st annual meeting of the Horticul tural Society further emphasized the future trend of the Northwestern fruit industry into to separate and distinct fields, the production and distribution of the frish article and the manufac ture of fruit products. In former years the fresh article has demanded attention almost exclusively. Today, as was evidenced at the weeks meetings, the by-product of orchards is creating almost an equal amount of at tention. Canned, processed and evap orated fruit products were given r,.n.v.inan.a nn the nrneram oi me 1 VJ 111 1 1 1 v- " - r--n - Hnrtiputlural Society.
