President Stevens: Any questions or remarks? 



Prof. Troop: 1 desire to say, while it is fresh in my mind, that I 

 very much desire to get this matter before the Legislature this winter in 

 a way that they will take some action and give us more help, and I would 

 like very much if every one of you who are here would assist, and I hope 

 every farmer and fruit grower will make it a point to see yoxu' Senators 

 and Representatives and explain matters to them, so that when it comes 

 up before them they will knoAv what it means. These things often come 

 before the Legislature, and before the Committee on Appropriations, and 

 they do not know what the value of it is, and they consequently pass it 

 by, but if you will make it a point and see your various representatives 

 at home before they come here and explain matters and tell them just 

 what is needed, it will go a long way.
