/CONTRARY to precedent the Minnesota State Forestry 

 V_/ Association will not hold its regular meeting in con- 

 nection with the meeting of the Minnesota State Hor- 

 ticultural Society this coming month. A separate meeting of 

 the forestry association will likely be called at a later date. 

 The two associations have been so closely bound up dur- 

 ing the years past that the meeting of the horticulturists will 

 undoubtedly prove of great interest to those interested di- 

 rectly in the forestry association. The meeting of the Min- 

 nesota State Horticultural Society will be the forty-seventh 

 annual convention and will be held at the West Hotel, Min- 

 neapolis, December 2, 3, 4, 5. 



Mr. Cox to Give Address. 



W. T. Cox, state forester, is scheduled to talk on "The 

 State Forests and the School Fund" at the afternoon session 

 on Dec. 2. There will be other talks of interest to the forestry 

 association members. For example the illustrated bird talk 

 by Rev. R. E. Olmstead of Excelsior will be a drawing card. 

 Mr. Olmstead will discuss particularly the recently enacted 

 national law for the protection of migratory birds. 



Many speakers of note will be present to discuss the prob- 

 lems that particularly affect the horticulturists. W. W. Farns- 

 worth, of Ohio, one of the most successful fruit growers in 

 the United States will be among those on the program. He 

 will deliver three talks. Charles G. Paten, of Charles City, 

 Iowa, will give a number of talks. 



There will be special sessions devoted to market garden- 

 ing, professional floriculture, the growing of flowers by ama- 

 teurs, etc. There will be exhibits of fruit grown in Minne- 

 sota. Last year the exhibit of apples proved to be of espe- 

 cial interest. It will undoubtedly prove of even more inter- 

 est this year.
