SUMMER MEETING 
The summer meeting, Aug. 22nd 
and 23rd, really needs no adver- 
tising, merely a reminder. There 
are the usual good reasons why we 
should assemble at the summer 
meeting and this year one other 
reason: AVe must “take stock.” 
Our Society has been one of the 
impelling forces in the war garden 
movement and we may he needed 
again next year. Therefore lot us 
gel together, look over this year's 
work and see how we can improve 
on it. 
The latter part of August is al- 
ways selected for the summer meet- 
ing as that time comes as near be- 
ing a slack season as the fruit 
grower or gardener ever finds, just 
after small fruit and cherries and 
just before apples. For the ama- 
teur it is also a slack season and 
he should be on hand this year 
without fail. 
Oshkosh will take the best of care 
of us both days and no one will 
regret a two day stay. A glance at 
the announcement shows the pro- 
gram proper will be finished the 
first day and the second day we 
will be at the mercy of members of 
the Oshkosh Society. 
We will see gardens and gardens 
without end also lakes and rivers, 
cool spots for luncheons and the 
strange spectacle of a big excur- 
sion steamer crossing corn fields 
and pastures. 
The State Fair 
The State Fair premium list is 
out and should he rend carefully 
by every member who has fruit or 
flowers fit for exhibit. The pre- 
miums are better than ever and 
ought to bring out a fine exhibit. 
The regular exhibitors will be on 
hand as usual but will the amateur 
and small grower he represented? 
Remember the lists are open to all 
and the plate or peck of apples 
from a small orchard often stands 
a better chance of winning than 
that shown by the big grower. 
The State Horticultural Society 
will have an exhibit as usual and 
its officers will use their best ef- 
forts, as usual, to make the Fail 1 a 
success. You are invited, not only 
to attend the fair hut to participate 
in making the fair. Send for a 
premium list anyway to O. E. 
Remcy, Secretary State Fair Park.
