 the harmful bacteria and, he assured his 

 hearers, cannot destroy the good little 

 bacteria. 



It was, perhaps, unfortunate that the 

 club membership is devoid of college 

 men. Composed as it is of practical 

 men, self-made, many of them self- 

 taught, their decision was just and 

 right. They felt that with 150 stu- 

 dents of horticulture at the state col- 

 lege, nearly five-sixths of whom are 

 there for the avowed purpose of study- 

 ing fruit growing, it was hardly fair to 

 expect much from the floriculturally in- 

 clined body, for the present at least. 

 They felt that the professors were an 

 earnest, capable body of men, but that 

 their work is in its infancy and that the 

 tools now at their command are ample 

 for the present. With all this, they felt

 which they in their youth had been 

 denied.

Contrary Minded — No. 



The question of the elub 's endorse- 

 ment of .nn exjienditure of approxi- 

 mately $l.")0,00(l for experimental pur- 

 poses and for training horticultural 

 students at the Pennsylvania State Col- 

 lege is so broad as to merit careful 

 thought. Then, too, the plan came un- 

 lieralded. No one knew it was to come 

 before the meeting for action. It was 

 laid before some of the leading men in 

 the floral world. A good number of 

 them thought that the club should 

 favor it. P. F. Richter, manager of
