movies." We have no way of telling how many people directly 

 interested in fruit growing attended the movies instead of the con- 

 vention, but we do know there were hundreds of fruit growers in 

 Napa and the adjoining counties, who did not attend, who would 

 have been benefited had they heard the papers and discussions relating 

 to their business. We believe also that people not directly interested 

 in farming would be benefited from lectures by such men as Wein- 

 stock, Hunt, Mead and McKevitt. So Ave believe there is much food 

 for thought in the statement which Mr. Messenger makes, and which 

 means that people Avould rather pay something to be entertained 

 •with things foreign to their business, than to listen fo a carefully pre- 

 pared lecture on the things that would help them in their business. 



Notwithstanding this criticism of fruit growers' conventions in gen- 

 eral, it is a fact that many of the best men in the orchard business 

 attend and benefit through the knowledge gained, and it is hoped that 

 indirectly such benefits are shared by the majority of the fruit growers. 



The tractor demonstration proved a drawing card, and was of much 

 real practical value. Napa County fruit growers are interested in 

 orchard tractors, and those who witnessed the demonstrations by the 

 different makes were not there out of mere curiosity, but because they 

 expected to purchase tractors, which are rapidly becoming a necessary 

 part of orchard machinery. — G. P. W.
