Ml". Swaim: Mj- soil is sandy loam. It is heavy, sandy loam, and 

 mixed with clay. Before proceeding with other varieties I have a word to 

 add. My observation is that wild berries are the same as tame ones, and 

 will not produce without a pollenizer. I Lave found that kind. 



Mr. Van Deman: I do not think it is true of the native American 

 type. 



Mr. Swaim: I would place the Warfield with the Dunlap for pollen- 

 izei', the Haverland with the Clyde, and the Gandy for late. 



Rev. Talbert: I have two perfect flowering berries and three imper- 

 fect—the Haverland, Warfield, Clyde, Sample and Gandy. 



Mr. Henry: What kind of soil have you? 



Rev. Talbert: I thmk it would fall in the clay soil list. Will you 

 give us a list? 



Mr. DeVilbiss: Is your soil clay? 



Mr. Henry: Yes, sir. This is the hardest thing in tlio world to do. 

 I would suggest the Warfield, Haverland, Dunlap, Klondyke and Bubach. 



Mr. DeVilbiss: In order, 1 Avould plant the Bubach, Haverland, 

 Michael's Early all the time for a pollenizer. The Gandy will not ripen 

 good and will not fertilize up good. Our subsoil is veay heavy clay, and 

 the top soil is extremely heavy. 



Mr. Peebles: I have had experience A^ith many, but I have the 

 Haverland with Lovett, the Bubach with Lovett, the Brandywine. but 

 it did not do very well, so I will not include that. 



Mr. Lodewick: This is a very difficult matter to decide. If we are 

 to name only five I would name the Warfield first, Haverland for a late 

 ben-y, and then the Gandy and Sample. I hold part of my patch back 

 to ripen with the Gandy. 



Prof. Troop: I want to add my list. Warfield, Haverland, Clyde, 

 Dunlap and Bubach, and I want to add the Gandy for late. I would 

 not give the Michael's Early room. I want a berry that will do some- 

 thing besides fertilize. 



Mr. Swaim: The question of varieties is an important one. We want 

 to know just what to do, whether to stay by the old or take up with 

 the new. There are a number of promising new varieties, that were 

 left out hei'e today entirely, but they are very promising. 



Prof. Latta: We will now hear from Prof. Troop.
