PRUNING DEMONSTRATIONS. 



These were held at tweiity-two differeiit places with an atteiidance of

 low-np work. 



LANDSCAl-K DEMONSTRATIONS. 



These are to encourage the planting of the ground about farm homes. 

 Sketches of plans and the needed shrubbery are prepared. During the 

 spring these jdans are followed out with the assistance of tlie specialist.

 help. Eight were handled this season.

But two such schools were held. They need an advance trij) lo make 

 proper preparations in order to be successful. Six days Avere spent at- 

 tending horticultural meetings of various kinds where no lecture was 

 given. 



Three monthly news letters have been sent out since January to 

 county agents and fruit associations. Four special articles for farm 

 bureau papers were sent out. One circular on grape culture was written 

 but has not been published. ISine days were taken to judge the fruit ex- 

 hibits at five different fairs. This is valuable experience for the special- 

 ist. There should be a school arranged by fair officials to allow the 

 judge to give instructions relative to making proper exhibits of the 

 various fruits.
