 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. 



C. E. OLDER, LUVERNE. 



In making my annual report of the conditions of the fruit in- 

 dustry in the Second Cong. District, I have taken advantage of 

 the conveniences a,nd the helpful system furnished by our secretary. 

 I sent out about thirty letters to different sections of our district 

 and received answers to nearly all of them, except in rhe northern 



Colorado Blue Spruce on Lawn of C. E. Older. 



section, where for some reason a blunder was made in mailing the 

 letters and was not discovered until too late to rectify it. I wish 

 here to thank very heartily all those who answered my letters for 

 their i)romptness in so doing.
