HORTICULTURAL
MEETINGSUCCESSFUL
Lack of orchard labor, shortage of
cars and the general delay in the har
vcat of the big crop of apples for 1910
resulted in a limited attendance at the
HM annual convention of the Oregon
.State Horticultural Society, .the three
day session of which ended here last
Wednesday afternoon. For the most

serious problems during the past few
months and have been gravely worried,
the interest displayed at the past three
days' sessions in methods of cultivation
were every bit as keen as any meeting
of past years. 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
