 Plant-Disease Control." 



Professor 0. B. Whipple of Bozeman, 

 Montana, formerly connected with the 

 Colorado Experimental Station, gave 

 some interesting information in refer- 

 ence to "Frost Damage in Deciihious 

 Orchards." 



Professor C. I. Lewis of the Oregon 

 Agricultnral College Experiment Sta- 

 tion, whose reputation is becoming 

 national as a horticulturist, gave some 

 very interesting lectures on "Pear Cul- 

 ture in the Northwest," "Irrigation of 

 Deciduous Fruit" and "The Loganberry 

 Industry of Oregon." 



Professor C. W. Woodward of Berk- 

 ley, California, gave a very interesting 

 exhibition of nozzle action in spraying, 

 showing a nozzle which is used in 

 spraying elm trees in New England for 

 the brown-tail moth and the gypsy 

 moth, and illustrating the action of the 

 M. A. C. nozzle, which originated at the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College, and 

 throws a stream of spray in the highest 

 elm trees to a height of perhaps 100 

 feet or more. 



Professor L'. P. Hedrick, horticul- 

 turist, who is conceded to be one of the 

 most eminent horticulturists in the 

 United States, connected with the Ex- 

 periment Station at Geneva, New York, 

 gave some extremely interesting lec- 

 tures on "Improvements of Varieties of 

 Fruit by Bud Selection," "Hoot Slocks 

 for Trees" and "Fertilizer of Fruit 

 Trees." 



One of the most entertaining talks 

 was given by Professor A. D. Shamel, 

 Riverside, on "Citrus Observations in 

 Brazil," which was illustrated by stere- 

 optican views. Many years ago a lady 

 of Southern California visited Brazil, 

 and seeing the navel or seedless 

 oranges made arrangements to have 

 the United States government import 

 some of these trees from Brazil. She 

 succeeded in securing two, which she 

 planted in her back yard, although the 

 rest of the trees which were sent to 

 other places died. The variety was 

 named "The Washington Navel Orange." 

 From these two trees all the other 

 navel oranges in California have been 

 propagated, and this orange today is 

 planted more extensively than any 

 other orange and has proved to be 

 the greatest money maker. Professor 

 Shamel's talks were very interesting, as 

 the stereoptican views showed scenes 

 along the entire trip, with views of the 

 orange groves of Brazil. His remarks 

 were very entertaining and made in- 

 teresting by many conversations with 

 Colonel Roosevelt, who traveled on the 

 same steamer on his exploring trip to 

 South America. 



The red spider mites, which are 

 among the most serious pests, were dis- 

 cussed by Professor H. J. Quayle of 

 Berkley, with instructions as to their 

 control. 



F'ruitgrowers of California are giving 

 nnich attention to the economic side of 

 the business, that is, the cost of pro- 

 duction. This subject was discussed in 

 various phases by many different 

 speakers, Professor Woodworth giving
