 guard against the charge of favoritism in selecting such orchards, 

 however unjust, i wish to call attention to these demonstration or-

Now, my friends, it is my earnest desire personally to attend to 

 the demonstrations in these orchards this year. I am trying to 

 arrange mj work so as to spend a great deal of my time in the field 

 this year, and when it is announced in the papers that I will be at 

 a certain demonstration, I will be there, rain or shine. I trust we 

 will be able to show you something that will be of benefit to every 

 county in the State, and we want every man growing trees to come 

 to these demonstrations. I am sure that if a man came into this 

 State who could teach me something more than I knew myself in 

 regard to anything in my profession, I would make it my business 

 to go to hear him. 



Finally, I hope conditions (legislation and appropriations) will 

 come round to where I would like to have them so that we will 

 have in each three counties, one of my men, one man from State 

 College, and one from Washington, — three orchardists competent to 

 help the fruit growers of the State save their orchards, — co-opera- 

 tion of the United States Department, the State Department, and 

 the State College, — who will meet with local organizations all over 

 the State once a month, in order to compare notes. How can we 

 help people unless we know what to do? We are placed here to 

 do service to the public, and are very much pleased with some of
