It is much better to use cold tl;ian warm 



"water in watering the beds, and heating 



th^ water to 80 or 90 degrees is only 



. waste of time and does more harm than 



y. rt.-^/ "*»POrtance of Good Spawn, •."v. 



" It iu important to use good spawn in 

 mushroom growing, as that is one of the 

 main things in getting a good crop, and 

 many failures are caused by using a poor 

 spawn. All spawn will run out sooner 



M)r later, and new Varieties should be used 

 instead of the old, run-out ones. 



It is impossible to teil good spawn by 

 the appearance of it, as the best looking 

 blue spawn , might be altogether worth- 

 '"less, and spawn that does not look well 

 - at all might , give a good crop of mush- 

 rooms. It is a good idea to try a few 

 diflferent kinds of spawn in some earlier 

 beds before tjhe main crop is planted. 



Anyone tanking of starting in the 



mushroom business should start in a 



.small way, with a few beds, and get all 



jthe experience he can before going into 



. it more extensively.

market. A few of the growers are com- 

 plaining of the "cinch" bug on the 

 plants, the same thing which gave so 

 much trouble to the mums last year. We 

 have noticed in the trade notes of other 

 cities the remark about tree pests. The 

 worms became so bad in Buffalo, the city 

 took hold of the matter and sprayed all 

 trees infested which were on city pro- 

 erty. Besides this, there are several firms 

 doing nothing else but tree spraying. 



Business is quiet with eveirybody and 

 about the only things talked about are 

 vacations and picnics. 



Various Notes. 



The regular club meeting resulted in 

 the planning of a picnic. The date is to 

 be July 29. We all hope it will bring 

 out a large crowd. The Bedell House 

 has been selected, which affords ample 

 accommodation and pleasant surround- 

 ings after you get there. The committee 

 will arrange a line program of sports and 

 a ball game between the east and west 

 sides. Heretofore the lack of attendance 

 from the store men has been noticeable 

 and we hope this year everybody will 

 come. It has not been stated as yet
