During the year 1911 the meetings have been well attended, a great deal of 

 interest shown especially along the lines of spraying and care of old orchards, 

 also the growing of small fruits. At the March meeting Mr. C. E. Bassett, Sec- 

 retary of the State Horticultural Society, addressed the meeting on the subject 

 of the care of old orchards. This address coming at this time of year proved to 

 be of great value to the orchardists in this community and the salvation of many 

 of the old trees and a good crop of fruit when sprayed properly. 



At the June meeting Prof. O. K. White of the M. A. C. spent the day with us, 

 visiting different orchards in this vicinity giving demonstrations in trimming, 

 spraying and thinning the fruit. In the evening he spoke of the cover crop for 

 the orchard. 



All the meetings have been both enjoyable and profitable. We predict that 

 Southern Washtenaw may still hold its own as a fruit growing portion of Michi- 

 gan. 



This Society purchased through the State Horticultural Society $23.5.56 worth 

 of spraying material. This gave entire satisfaction. The coming year we expect 

 to purchase a still larger amount of material.
