the way it looks at the present time, the buds have been pretty 

 much' all destroyed by the cold weather, but I think the 

 good old apple will still come through in the state of Con- 

 necticut all right. 



Now is there anv other question on this list that you 

 would like to call up? If not. we will take up the first ad- 

 dress of the afternoon. 



A Member : Number 22, Mr. President. 



President Rogers : "Is the dry form of arsenate of 

 lead equal to the paste form as an insecticide ?" 



Who can answer that question in regard to the ad-

President Rogers: Just leave the Spy out of it. and 

 vou are all right. Plant Baldwins. I will agree with you 

 there. 



President Rogers : I do not know as we ought to de- 

 vote anv more time just now to these questions. We will 

 take up the program and listen to the first address of the af-
