See that the apples intended for the General Group Classes are kept separate 
from those intended for the Special Single Plate Classes and indicate dis- 
tinctly for which Class the respective apples are intended. Many exhibitors 
fail to name their apples or the names are so mixed with the various va- 
rieties, that it is impossible to distinguish and separate them. Such exhibits 
will necessarily have to be rejected. Name Your Varieties — Mark them 
Plainly. Keep Each Variety Separate. Enclose in the general package in 
which your entire exhibit is sent a complete invoice giving the names of all 
the varieties sent. Fill out and mail the enclosed invoice to Charles Keebler, 
Hotel Pfister, Milwaukee, Wis., Chairman of the Committee in charge of the 
exhibit so that he may arrange space, trace delayed shipments and avoid 
errors. The above instructions are very important. Do not fail. 
2. If you do not bring your exhibit personally, send it by express, or any 
way you choose, to Charles Keebler, Hotel Pfister, Milwaukee, Wis. 
3. Exhibits in many instances may be sent by parcel post if carefully 
packed, protected and started in time. Consult your local postmaster as to 
weight limits. 
4. Take special care to see that all exhibits are carefully and tightly 
packed to prevent bruising in transit. 
5. Cold Storage — If apples are desired to be sent in advance of the exhibit 
and held in cold storage, send them to Charles Keebler, Wisconsin Cold Stor- 
age Co., 178 Florida St. Milwaukee, Wis. Mark on the package “Apple Ex- 
hibit, International Apple Shippers’ Association.” Write Mr. Keebler, at 299 
Broadway, Milwaukee, advising him of fruit thus sent in advance. No 
charge for cold storage or cartage.

aphis. Make trimming and prun- 
ing of diseased wood a separate

Cost of production of apples; to-

per bu. of salable apples. 
Prof. A. J. Gunderson on spray- 
ing: There are still problems to 
solve but much good has already 
been accomplished. Apple blotch 
is a serious trouble in southern Illi- 
nois and is extending northward. 
Its advancement should be checked. 
It is important to cut out water- 
sprouts and dead wood before 
spraying. Spray with lime sul- 
phur three and five weeks after 
blossoms fall. Worst infection is 
five to six weeks after full bloom. 
Liquid spray is superior to dust. 
He prefers the rod spray with 
disk nozzle.to the spray gun. Lime 
sulphur is a good spray for apple 
scab but late in season if tempera- 
ture is above 85 would use bor- 
deaux mixture at 3-4-50 strength. 
Would spray for codling moth with 
1 11). dry arsenate of lead to 50 gal- 
lons of water, at fall of bloom, also 
3 and 5 weeks after. For second 
brood would spray 10 weeks after 
fall of bloom and also in Septem- 
ber for late moths if weather is hot 
and dry. There is a division of 
opinion regarding efficiency of the 
gun spray. One man uses the gun 
for lower part of tree and the rod 
for the upper part. Workmen like 
the gun spray because it is easy to 
handle. Some workmen refused to 
handle the rod spray after having 
used the gun. 
Senator Dunlap gave a very in- 
teresting account of a trip among 
the orchards of California, Oregon 
and Washington. In the Califor- 
nia apple district yellow and green 
vai'ieties are preferred because red 
varieties do not color well. In ma- 
nuring orange orchards Prof. 
Shamel has had very good results 
by opening furrows between rows 
of trees and filling with manure 
and then covering the same by 
throwing the furrows back. In 
Oregon they think they can pro- 
mote fruitfulness by pruning. In 
Washington diseases and insect 
pests are increasing. They think
