148 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Castner : Just as soon as the apple crop is picked 

 go in and spray your trees and kill what fungus you can. 

 Spraying them with Bordeaux or lime and sulphur prevents 

 fungus. 



A Member : What strength of lime and sulphur do 

 you use for that? 



Mr. Castner : One to nine, or one to ten, I should 

 think would be all right. I do not know much about the 

 conditions anywhere except in Oregon, but I should think 

 that would be about right. I believe that is a good idea to 

 go right in after the apples are harvested. There is no bet- 

 ter way to keep the fungus down. 



President Rogers : This has been a most interesting 

 and valuable discussion and I feel that we have gotten a 

 great deal of help from Mr. Castner, and he is certainly en- 

 titled to our thanks. The Secretary has an announcement to 

 make. 



Secretary IMiles : I want to announce that there are 

 about a dozen banquet tickets which have been ordered, but 

 which have not been taken. Mr. Eddy has them. If any of 

 }-ou have written or spoken for them, please get them. Oth- 

 erwise we shall feel justified in selling them. I want to say 

 that already the entire capacity of the dining room at the 

 hotel has been sold out. The committee on our banquet has 

 arranged for the Governor to meet our members from 6:30 

 to 7:00. If you will be at the hotel at that hour you will all 

 have an opportunity to meet Governor Baldwin, and then we 

 will go directly to the banquet room. 



President Rogers : I would like to thank you all for 

 your attendance this afternoon. We certainly had a fine 

 meeting. Now we will adjourn, to come together again to- 

 morrow morning at half-past nine. We would be glad to 

 have you all with us. We shall have an equally good pro- 

 gram to-morrow as we have had to-day. 



At 5:15 the meeting in Unity Hall adjourned until Wed- 

 nesday morning at 9 :30.
