24 Report of State Board of Horticulture. 



The Board is indebted to the officers of the Experiment 

 Station at Corvallis, and to many horticulturists all over the 

 State, for invaluable aid in editing this volume. 



To avoid any conflicting advice, the preparation of the 

 matter regarding insects, fungi, and spraying has been left 

 entirely in the hands of Professor Cordley, who has given 

 here the latest knowledge obtainable, and the soundest advice 

 as to its application. 



The fame of Oregon fruit will grow with the years, her 

 lands will become yet more valuable, and her people will 

 acquire peace and contentment. 



W. K. Newell, 

 President of Board and Commissioner at Large. 



Gaston, Oregon, October 1, 1906.
