April 



Idaho Horticulturists Have Good Meeting 



By E. F. Stephens, 



TWM meeting of the Iihiho Horticul- 

 turist Association was interesting 

 and a number of important c|uestions 

 were thoroughly discussed. Among 

 others which were taken up were the 

 report of the Transportation Commit- 

 tee, Joel L. Priest, chairman; "("ooiing, 

 Heating and Refrigeration Cars," Presi- 

 dent Secrist, of the Pacific Fruit Ex- 

 press Company; "Results of Car Short- 

 age in Boise Valley in 1017," J. C. 

 Sewell, Boise; "Results of Car Shortage 

 in Payette," P. M. Smock, Payette; "Cold 

 Air Storage, With Plans for Same," 

 A. W. Hoy, Nampa. 



The recommendations of S. H. Boding- 

 house, of the United States Bureau of 



Nampa, Idaho 



Markets, Washington, were adopted 

 after a full discussion and a committee 

 was named that should meet with dele- 

 gates from the other Northwestern 

 States with view to a conference which 

 should determine grades and markings 

 that would be agreeable to the box- 

 apple interests of the Northwest. Prof. 

 E. R. Bennett urged the importance of 

 inspection at the shipping point, with 

 a view to giving character and explicit 

 standard of quality to the shipments as 

 packed; believing this would help to 

 give confidence to the purchaser and 

 assist in making sales at standard 

 prices.

Arsenate of Lead 



For thirteen years the GRASSELLI BRAND has been 

 used throughout the fruit growing sections of the North- 

 west where it has given unvarying satisfaction to the user 

 because of its all-round good qualities: 



IT kills the worms. 

 IT sticks well to the foliage. 

 IT is high in suspension qualities and will always 

 be found dependable and uniform.

C. J. Devies of Yakima, Washington, 

 gave an illustrative lecture, "Modern 

 Methods of Spraying." This helped to 

 give a very clear idea of the insect ene- 

 mies with which the fruit grower must 

 contend, and the best metliod of com- 

 bating it. It was agreed and voted that 

 the summer meeting should be held at 

 Caldwell and the next winter's annual 

 meeting at Payette. 



J. H. Maybee of Meridian gave a 

 highly instructive and interesting talk 

 on "Strawberry Culture." After experi- 

 menting with seventeen varieties he 

 now grows the Senator Dunlap only. 

 From two and one-half acres he sold 

 something over $1700 worth of fruit. 

 He fruits his plantations three seasons 

 then renews. Plants growing from re- 

 newal are selected from special plants 

 grown for the purpose and not allowed 

 to fruit during the first season of 

 growth. 



In the discussion of insecticides the 

 trend of opinion at the meeting was in 

 favor of liquid lime and sulphur. Com- 

 peting manufacturing firms brought in 

 samples of arsenate of lead which were 

 tested out as to suspension and cover- 

 ing quality.
