PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 



By ROBT. M. ELDON, Aspers, Pa. 



The problem of the Adams County Fruit Growers' Association is 

 to hold each year a better convention. We shall be pleased indeed 

 to do this during this week. There is no expectation of furnishing 

 a program that shall be novel throughout or in large part, even 

 if that were desirable, but new tailors for new clothes, may add 

 interest to subjects which have been discussed more or less regularly 

 since the growing of fruit was begun and discussions had. It will 

 be, then, not so much llie declarations of new methods as the per- 

 fection of old ones by addiHon of elimination. We are willing and 

 anxious to hear the latest and best of everything from tbe planting 

 of raw land to the receipt of returns for fruit marketed.
