Grower, and these gentlemen can tell you 
how to spray and take care of your groves 
and your farms, and you can purchase 
there the things you want, and the men 
will tell you how to use it. Then you 
wiH find irrigation and spraying outfits, 
which will be demonstrated and in actual 
operation, irrigating and spraying trees 
in the park. Then in the front porch and 
the hall there is fruit and exhibitions of 
paper with which to wrap your fruit. 
Then, on Thursday, there will be another 
demonstration, and I am going to men¬ 
tion this because your chairman this even¬ 
ing is too modest to mention it; there is 
going to be demonstrated automobile 
trucks in the heaviest sand that can be 
* found, with the idea of getting the grow¬ 
ers in this state to realize the advantage to 
be gained by using these trucks, thereby 
reducing their cost of operation in haul¬ 
ing fruit from the grove to the packing 
house. You will find other exhibits scat¬ 
tered around through the hotel; there is 
an exhibit of pianos in the parlor. 
We want you to take in all these ex¬ 
hibits and the entertainment we offer, and 
we will ask you to come again to Tampa. 
INTRODUCTION OF QUESTION BOX 
Okie C. Painter, Secretary 
For the past several years it has been 
customary to the opening of our meet¬ 
ings for the Secretary to present to 
the members of the Society the Ques¬ 
tion Box. If you have any questions 
you would like to have asked and do 
not have a chance to ask them from 
the floor, if you will write your ques¬ 
tion on a piece of paper and drop it 
in the box, your question will be an¬ 
swered from the platform some time 
during the meeting. These questions 
and answers are always made a part of 
the report when issued. 
The Question Box has been of great 
help to many of the members in the 
past and I strongly urge you to make 
use of same.
