 in crops and will win prestige that will be far more valuable than will 

 the prize. It is also hoped that we may secure other prizes of lesser 

 amounts for second, third and possibly fourth prizes. It is also sug- 

 gested to the county horticultural commissioners that efforts be made 

 to secure prizes in their several counties for the best five acres of potatoes 

 grown during this year. 



All who engage to compete for a prize are asked to report to the 

 writer at once and to name date when seed will be ready for inspec- 

 tion. Of course prizes will not be awarded unless a goodly number 

 compete. — A. J. C.

 page 515, under Statistics, the acreage of apples in Fresno County is

 January, 1915, should have read as follows:

 treatment cost to $ 051 per tree, or more than the total cost of painting, inspecting 

 and treating in the "painted" section.
