JOURNAL OF ANNUAL MKKTINC, 1 yoG. 493 



Prof. R. A. Emerson (Neb.) : I was not expectins;- to be called 

 upon to say anything, as I am on the program tomorrow. I will 

 simply say that I am glad to be here again. This is the second time 

 I have attended your meetings. Although I have come in late I 

 hope -to get a whole lot out of this meeting to take back to Ne- 

 braska horticulturists, and I wish to say also that we would be very 

 glad to have any of you that can attend our meeting this winter, 

 which will be held about the middle of January. (Applause.) 



The President : We will now take up the fifth topic on our 

 program, which relates to the care of the vineyard in July and Au- 

 gust. This subject will be discussed by Mr. Reel. 



"The Vineyard in July and August" was the subject of the 

 paper presented by Mr. E. G. E. Reel, of Excelsior. (See index.) 



Discussion. 



The President : Now we have finished the fruit topics, and we 

 will take up a subject that is equally interesting to many, and that 

 is the vegetable garden in July and August, which will be spoken 

 of by Mr. Baldwin. 



Mr. H. J. Baldwin, of Northfield, then read a paper upon the 

 subject of "The Vegetable Garden in July and August.'^ (Sec 

 index.) 



Discussion. 



The President : Although this discussion is very interesting, we 

 must cut it short, because we have three more papers on our pro- 

 gram. Our next .topic will be handled by a gentleman from Iowa 

 who has had a large experience with the subject upon which he is 

 to speak. I wish to introduce Mr. True, of Iowa, who will speak 

 about spraying. 



Mr. C. H. True, secretary of the Northeastern Iowa Horticul- 

 tural Society, of Edgewood, la., then detailed in a paper the "Prac- 

 tical Results from Spraying.'^ (See index.) 



Discussion. 



The President : We now come to the last number on our pro- 

 gram, the selection of materials for spraying, by Prof. Snyder. I 

 am very sorry to be compelled to cut off discussion of this' last paper. 

 I presume the members can get a great many pointers from Mr. 

 True by going to him personally. 



"Selection of Material for Spraying" was spoken of in a paper 

 by Prof. Harry Snyder, of St. Anthony Park. (See index.) 



Discussion. 



On motion of Mr. Benjamin the meeting adjourned. 



THURSDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. 



The meeting was called to order at i :30 o'clock by the president. 



The President : This is what we call the "Question Hour," and 

 it was to have been led by Mr. Philips, but as he is not present, I 

 will ask Mr. Kellogg to take charge of the meeting. 



(These questions and replies to them appear from time to time 

 throughout the year in our monthly.)
