BETTER FRUIT 



on Shade and Orchard Trees againstCanker 

 Worms, Climbing Cut Worms, Woolly Ap- 

 hides, Ants, and Tussock Gypsy and Brown- 

 tail Caterpillars. It is equally effective 

 against any crawling insects. 



Band Trees About Two Weeks Before 

 Insects Appear to Get Best Results 



Easily applied with wooden paddle. One pound 

 makes about 10 lineal feet of band. One application 

 stays sticky 3 months and longer— outlasting 10 to 

 20 times any other substance. Remains effective 

 rain or shine. Won't soften— won't run or melt, 

 yet always elastic, expanding with growth of 

 tree. No mixing, simply open can and use. Will 

 not injure trees. 



For Tree Surgery 



Tree Tanglefoot is superior to anything on the 

 market- it is the best application after pruning or 

 trimming. It will water-proof the crotch of a 

 tree or a cavity or wound in a tree, when nothing 

 else will do it.

Seconded. 



Moved as an amendment by L. J. Blot 

 of Spokane that tlie minimum color 

 requirement for Baldwin be 25% in- 

 stead of 15% as read. Amendment 

 accepted by the Yakima delegation. 

 Motion as amended was carried. Moved 

 by J. R. Schwartze of Yakima that the 

 "Red Cheeked or Blushed Varieties" 

 require "a tinge of color" and the "Yel- 

 low or Green Varieties" require "char- 

 acteristic color." 



On suggestion of C. A. Leedy of We- 

 natchee, accepted by the Yakima dele- 

 gation, requirements for Winter Banana 

 were changed from "a tinge of color" 

 to "characteristic color." 



Color schedule, as amended, was 

 carried. 



Moved by J. R. Schwartze of Yakima 

 that "Third Grade, Grade No. 3 or G 

 Grade, shall consist of all remaining 

 apples, free from infection, and if 

 .shipped in closed packages shall be 

 marked "Third Grade." Seconded. 

 Discussion as to whether worm stings 

 .should be included in this grade. 



F. B. Utter of Wenatchee offered as 

 an amendment a resolution calling for 

 an amendment to Section 15 of the 

 Horticultural Law so that worm stings 

 be allowed. Chair ruled that it is not 

 an amendment and out of order. 



J. R. Schwartze, with the consent of 

 his second, modified his motion to read 

 as follows: "Third Grade, Grade No. 3 

 or C Grade apples shall consist of all 

 remaining apples, free from infection, 

 excepting that if the next legislature 

 so permits, two healed stings to the 

 apple shall be allowed, and if shipped
