Dust Control, Sometimes called the Dust Spray. This will be a 
“Round” Table discussion led by some member who has had 
experience. 
Wednesday Afternoon 
2:00 o’clock 
Up to this point the preparation of the preliminary program has 
been easy, for all whose names appear have “accepted service,” but 
from this point it begins to get hazy. Some who have been asked to 
serve have accepted gracefully, some answer faintly, some balk, 
some pull back and some refuse point blank. Out of all of it will 
come something like this: 
Four or more papers by professional florists each presenting some 
topic of practical value to amateurs. 
Mrs. C. O. Strong of West Allis and Mrs. G. W. Moore of East 
Milwaukee will each tell about Community Work in gardening in 
small communities. 
Mr. F. Kern will talk on Marketing the Michigan Fruit Crop. 
Prof. J. G. Moore has a message the subject of which he will an- 
nounce later. 
Wm. Toole Sr. will also bring a message. 
C. M. Seeker of Mather and Mrs. S. H. Whittlesey of Cranmoor 
will talk about Cranberries. 
Papers by the four visiting delegates; a “Round Table” discussion 
of State Fair matters and discussions on several other topics of in- 
terest to all both amateur and professional members. 
All in all it will be somewhat difficult to find time for all the good 
things but in some way it will be done. BE PREPARED.
