 tion; C. I. Lewis, assistant manager of the 

 Oregon Growers' Co-operative Association ;

 Fruitgrowers' Association, and A. W. Stone, 

 general manager of the Hood River Apple 

 Growers' Association. 



Incidentallv an important development 

 in connection with the meeting was the 

 promise of the Portland Dock Commission 

 to the representatives of the Northwest 

 co-operative associations that it would estab- 

 lish a municipal cold storage plant on the 

 city terminal docks to care for shipments of 

 fruit and other perishables by water. With 

 a municipal cold storage plant on the docks 

 in Seattle and one established in Portland 

 the fruit growers of the Northwest will be 

 well provided with land terminals for using 

 water transportation. 



The general outlook for the organization 

 of the proposed central co-operative market- 

 ing body in the near future seems bright 

 and another year should see it in success- 

 ful operation. 



Liming the Orchard 



LIME is a healthful adjunct in the or- 

 chard for either the cover crop or grass 

 mulch system of management. In either 

 case, a good growth of crop is desired to 

 supply adequate amounts of organic matter 

 and nitrogen to the soil and better to protect 

 the soil against injury from erosion. 



For a cover crop, legumes are generally 

 employed, and, being sensitive to lime-de- 

 ficiency, they respond to liming on acid 

 soils. When plowed down or disked into 

 the ground, their decay is promoted and 

 regulated by lime. The better decomposi- 

 tion thus fostered provides assimilable ni- 

 trate for the fruit tree.

Aresenatc of Lead 



No Spreader. 



Ready for use. Simply stir into the spray solution 



"SPREADO" produces a uniform coating, completely 



protecting the fruit. 



"SPREADO" increases the adhesiveness of the spray, 



especially desirable in rainy sections. 



"SPREADO" increases the wetting and covering 



power of the spray, more than paying for itself in 



the saving of spray material. 



"SPREADO" does rot in any way injure the foliage 



or the fruit. 



"SPREADO" is highly recommended as a spreader hy 



the Oregon .Agricultural Experiment Station. 



DIRECTIONS 

 When filling the tank start agitator, sift in gradually 

 the re()uired amount of "SPREADO" keeping the 

 agitator in motion until the tank is filled and spray- 

 ing is begun. 



"SPREADO" is especially recommended for use with 

 arsenate of lead for the cover sprays in the propor- 

 tion of 5 to 6 lbs. of powdered arsenate of lead with 

 2 lbs. of "SPREADO" to the 200 gallon tank.
