This School is limited to commercial fruit growers, orchard 

 foremen, n»w or prospective orchard owners, and orchard workmen. The 

 discussions will center around commercial entei-prises and for that reason 

 will not meet the needs and interests of the backyard fruit grower. Success 

 in any enterprise in this modem age depends upon both a fundamental 

 knowledge and the latest technical developments. It is the purpose of the '■ 

 School to furnish just this type of information. To obtain the maximum 

 benefit from the School, prospectiv© students should plan to attend all 

 of the scheduled sessions.
