HARTMAN EXPLAINS NEED TO WASH
Local Mes Named oa Board of Trasto»»—
Rosebarg Gets Meeting in 1928
—Moyer President
One of the most successful meetings
tn the history of the Oregon State
Horticultural Hoicety, the 42nd annual
gathering of the body, was held here
last week. While the out of town at­
tendance was not extra large, growers
of the mid-Columbia Oregon and Wash­
ington fruit districta were present in
large numbers.
An outstanding feature of the session
was the diacxisslou of the spray residue
problem aud the washing of apples.
After Prof. Henry Hartman, of the
Oregon State Coltege, who has done a
great deal, more than any other one
individual perhaps in research work,
looking toward the finding of practical
means of washing apples, bad finished
his talk last week, growers felt a great
deal tetter over the general apple situ­
ation.
Prof. Hartman cited tliat mistakes
buil lieen made and that no small
amount of trouble had been encoun­
tered in a number of districts the past
year. He declared, however, that 15,-
000.000 taixes of apples had been
washed with a hydrochloric acid solu­
tion and that in many districts the
fruit had been properly cleansed with
out tlie least Qlt of trouble.
I»rof. Hartman cited that the state
of Oregon had administered the regu­
lations concern spray residue through
the pure food and dairy commission,
headed by J. D. Mickle. Not a box of
Oregon fruit as far as ia kuown, Prof.
Hartman said, lias failed to meet every
demand made’ by thin year’s regula­
tions.
Tlie 1928 meeting of the society will
lie held at Roseburg. C. E. Moyer, of
that city, was elected president aud II.
Van Hnugentierg, of Medford, was
elected vice president. Clayton L. I/mg.
of the Oregon Agriculture College, was
re-elected seeretary-treasurer. and the
newly elected board of trustee mem­
bers. all from Hood River, were: C. A.
Reed, tlie retiring president, A. J. Graff
aud C. King Benton.
