FORTY SEVENTH STATE FRUIT GROWERS' 



CONVENTION. 



Visalia, California, November 18, 19, 1915. 



The Forty-seventli State Fruit Growers' Convention will 

 convene at Visalia, Tulare County, November 18tli and 

 19tli. 



Tulare County, though one of the first fruit-growing- 

 counties of California, famed alike for diversity, quality 

 and quantity of its fruits, has never been favored with one 

 of the fruit growers' conventions. Few sections of the 

 State give such rich promise for the future. 



There has been a loud call for a thorough discussion of 

 marketing, cover crops and mulching, control of scale 

 insects, and leaf hoppers. Each of these topics will be led 

 by authorities and given considerable time on the program. 



To promote interest and swell attendance, welcome will 

 be given and we urge suggestions as to topics and speakers. 

 These are especial!)'^ desired from Tulare and adjacent 

 counties. These suggestions must come before the last of 

 September. 



The County Commissioners will hold a meeting at this 

 time, duration, as also program, to be entirely as they elect. 



From the promises we have received from Tulare County 

 we hope even to exceed the attendance at the Los Angeles 

 convention of over 1,200 members. Will not all, especially 

 our friends of the press, aid us by pushing publicity? 



A. J. Cook, 

 State Commissioner of Horticulture.
