handspring of all wondrous action. What

thus. To achieve great ends great causes
must be applied. 1t takes not few put
many to constitute this cause when applied
to human progress. If we expect to do
much we must have united effort to pave
the way. 1, perhaps, have dealt too much
in generalities and to narrow down TO prac-
tical application must say we must strlve as
body to enlist the action OF all we can II
We expect to succeed IN TINS undertakln y:
That we are here for laudable purpose no
one can deny. Every state in the Union
has its state and its county organizations,
and why not Texas as well? Shall we SIT
idly by and see others reap the rewards oil
progress and not thirst for share?
In every state in every avenue OF life ana
business we see people on the up grade
Our best farmers grade up. in poultry
strains, in stock, in grain, in grasses, IN
machinery. in everything. We hear upon
every side the better, thriftier classes OF our
nations people demanding improvement;
WHY should not it include fruit as wellG
The time has gone by when people felt con-
tented to nut up with old and inferior
fruits. BY experiment and skillful hybrid
izatlon, many valuable fruits have peen
given to the public. TO grow GOOD ana
pleasant and profitable than to grow poor.
To do this, we come together for the gain,
ing of possibly some grains OF practical
knowledge, which is worth more than any
theory can ever be. We should come as
one united brotherhood to speak of our sue
cesses and our failures and receive, trust,
praise for the preventative III meas
ure for the other. We come to get our IN
diyidual efforts united against our enemies
N
change of that knowledge gained IN the
seyerest of schools, experience, which IN
an hour may profit us more than a week

have a soil and a climate peculiar to our
selves; we must intelligently use them, ana
these meetings may save many repeated
experiments that consume months, and
even years, and finally prove failures Inc
need of to-day is to know, and know
quickly, with the least outlay OF time anc
trouble and expense, the best methods to
adopt, the best varieties to grow, that Will
prove successful on Texas soil.
That here, in our sunny southwest, nave
been produced fruits that will compare
tavorably with any country on the giooe

when the young and struggling, yet mighty
state of Texas stood in the background
