very different. I would not want to say what did it. All a 

 man can do is to study his own conditions, and make up his 

 mind. You can go around and see how things are doing 

 with other growers, and in that way get a lot of information. 

 But you have got to study the situation yourself. A man 

 cannot learn the business of raising peaches in any other way 

 except by experience, just as he would learn any other line of 

 business. A man would not go into the grocery business un- 

 less he had had a little preparation. He really ought to clerk 

 it for two or three years. It is much the same in the fruit 

 business. 



President Gold : We have had Mr. Lyman on the plat- 

 form now for some time, and it will be necessary to bring the 

 discussion to a close at this point. There will be an oppor- 

 tunity to ask Mr. Lyman some further questions this after- 

 noon. It is now time for us to take a recess for lunch. We 

 are to have Mr. Stevens this afternoon, and I am sure the 

 program for the afternoon is one in which you will all be in- 

 terested. We are also to have, an address on the packing and 

 shipping of fruit by Mr. Thompson, who comes to us from 

 Canada. We will now take a recess. 



At 12 :45 a recess was declared until the afternoon session 

 at 2 o'clock.
