It is our purpose to continue these demonstration orchards during 190S and 

 1909, and to establish others. It is now evident that no work we have yet 

 started will prove so important, helpful and practical as this. Demonstra- 

 tions are given showing the present or modern methods of orchard prac- 

 tice to produce first-class fruit, free from injury by insect pects or plant 

 diseases. Announcements are made through the press and otherwise concern- 

 ing the dates of the demonstrations, and interested persons are invited to 

 attend. The attendance often is large and the citizens take great interest in 

 the work and express themselves as having received great help from the same. 

 The final results can not be seen within two or three years, but by next year 

 we sliall be able to show what can be accomplished in the practical renovation 

 of old, diseased and worn-out orchards. 



ORCHARD INSPECTION. 



Orchard inspection has been the chief means of coming into contact with the 

 public and rendering direct personal services. We have had about thirty dif- 

 ferent persons on the inspecting force. Their duty was to inspect private 

 premises, in order to report to this office the kinds of pests found and the 

 varieties of fruits infested. We, in turn, send notification of pests present and 

 instructions as to the proper treatment to destroy them. This, combined with 

 the demonstration orchard system, is resulting in the preservation of orchards 

 as no other means could have done. 



The detailed reports of the inspection for 1907 are as follows:
