BETTER FRUIT 



January, 192:: 



Annual Meetings 



A MOVEMENT seeking union of the 

 horticultural associations of the states 

 of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore- 

 gon, was launched at Spoi<ane last month, 

 with Washington horticulturists taking the 

 initiative. A call was issued that is expected 

 to assure a conference of executives of the 

 four associations at Spokane on January 2 1 . 



Outcome of the joint conference will 

 be awaited with keen interest by fruit 

 growers of the Northwest and others con- 

 nected with the industry. Wrapped up in 

 this proposal for a union of the state hor- 

 ticultural societies are potent possibilities. 

 So many good things may be achieved b)' 

 such an organization that it is to be hoped 

 nothing may interfere with plans for its for- 

 mation. A joint annual meeting, joint an- 

 nual educational exhibit, united advertising 

 for northwest apples, unified legislation — 

 these are some of the more vital matters 

 in which united action may bring far- 

 reaching results. 



The launching of this move for union of 

 the state societies was, perhaps, the biggest 

 thine accomplished at the annual meetine 

 of the Washington State Horticultural As- 

 sociation and Fruit Growers' Conference, 

 held at Spokane, December 12, 13 and 

 14. Action was taken more clearly defin- 

 ing apple grade? and slightly modifying 

 them in _ few respects. On December 14, 

 15 and 16 Spokane entertained the annual 

 convention of Northwest Potato Growers, 

 at which a fine potato show was a feature. 

 On December 7 and 8, the annual meef 

 ing of the ld.aho State Horticultural Asso- 

 ciation was held at Nampa. The session: 

 were well attended and papers and discus- 

 sions brought out educational features of 

 real benefit to those present. 



In the election of officers, taking place 

 near the close of the convention, these men 

 were picked to head the association during 

 1922: J. P. Gray, president, Nampa; C. 

 H. Sargent, vice-president, Fruitland; I. 

 Lee Truax, secretary, Boise; A. E. Gipson, 

 treasurer, Caldwell. The latter two men 

 were accorded re-election. 



The thirty-sixth annual sessions of the 

 Oregon State Horticultural Society were 

 held at Forest Grove, December 1, 2 and 

 3. Vegetable as well as fruit growers in 

 goodly numbers were present. Each ses- 

 sion was marked by helpful and informative 

 talks, papers and discussions. Experts of 

 both fruit growing and gardening industries 

 were speakers. 



These officers were elected for the en 

 suing year: D. W. Johnson, president, Cor- 

 vallis; E. A. Rueter, vice-president. Forest 

 Grove; C. D. Minton, secretary-treasurer. 

 Forest Grove; Senator C. L. McNary, trus- 

 tee. 



Our readers may be assured that they 

 will be given the cream of the papers and 

 such matters coming before these meetings 

 as have value to them. 



For fast, thorough, economical spray- 

 ing use MYERS SPRAY PUMPS. 

 You may have but a few trees, vines or 

 bushes-your garden may be but a small 

 one -your orchard or vineyard may be 



of limited acreage— or you may be an extensive 

 grower of fruits and vegetables with thousands of 

 trees and plants under cultivation. It matters not , 

 which of these you are, or what your spraying - 

 needs may be, they can all be successfully filled 

 with a proven and guaranteed MYERS BUCKET, 

 BARREL or POWER SPRAY PUMP of such 

 style, size and capacity as will exactly meet your 

 requirements. 



Remember, much of the success of spraying ^ 

 depends on the spray pump— remember the quality , 

 of spray pumps differs just as it does in other 

 implements. You can, no doubt, buy spray pumps 

 at lower prices than asked for the MYERS, but in 

 doing so you may be paying for light weight, under- 

 si2ed, cheaply equipped pumps that will last but a 

 short time and perhaps disappoint you with the 

 results produced. 



You take no chances of this nature when you purchase ' 

 and use MYERS SPRAY PUMPS, NOZZLES and 

 ACCESSORIES — regardless of style, size or equipment, 

 Myers Spray Pumps are of a uniform standard, all being 

 guaranteed for efficient and long time service if properly 

 used and cared for. They throw a powerful penetrating 

 spray, and are equally successful for whitewashing, painting, 

 disinfecting and similar work. 



It requires a 64 page Catalog to show the entire line of 

 MYERS SPRAY PUMPS, AND SPRAYING ACCES- 

 SORIES, and the new edition for 1922 is just off the press.
