A large part of the program is devoted to small fruits this year as 

 the third year on this plan. It is urgently requested that such careful 

 preparation be given topics assigned as will fit them for a manual oq 

 topics treated. It is hoped discussions will be full, as they will be re- 

 ported by a capable stenographer. Special effort is being made to 

 make our coming meeting one of the best of the series. There will 

 be carefully prepared papers by experts, and addresses by men of na- 

 tional reputation. Live discussions on the first day will be very in- 

 terestins: to all who would know more of irrigation or of cultivation 

 as a substitute for it available to all. Stand by the State Horticultural 

 Society. Become members and help extend its work. You will find 

 its officers earnest in developing the work of horticulture in our state. 

 Do not miss this opportunity.
