TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL MEETING.

able to our growers, I think for the present we must be 

 content with the brands now on the market, which from 

 Dr. Stewart's experiments seem more likely to produce 

 spray injury to peaches than the ortho-arsenate of lead, 

 though in our own experiments the use of these did not 

 ordinarily prove very injurious on apples when used with 

 those brands of lime-sulphur which contain no foreign 

 alkaline ingredient, such as soda or potash. 



President Rogers : 1 am sorry, but we will have to draw 

 this discussion to a close now, as Dr. Stewart has to leave to 

 take his train. I think the Secretary has an announcement 

 to make. 



Secretary Miles: It may be interesting to the mem- 

 bers of the association to know that we have received 303 

 memberships so far at this meeting, and beyond that five life 

 memberships. The Membership Committee would like me to 

 say for them that all of you who have not yet added your 

 names to the roll they hope will not go home without doing so. 



Everyone interested in the subject of asparagus growing 

 is reqitested to remain after this meeting. The asparagus 

 growers of the state are to hold their meeting immediately 

 after the adjournment of this meeting this afternoon. That 

 will be held here in this hall. 



President Rogers : We will now take up the discussion 

 of the topic "Some Orchard Foes and How to Control Them," 

 with ten minute talks by some of our leading orchardists, as 

 scheduled on the program. 



The first speaker is Mr. J. H. Hale, and his subject is 

 "Peach Growers' Foes."
