| Ex-Governor n. j. Coleman, of Nilsson
ri, was introduced amid a storm of APP
plause. He made a brief and entertain
ing address in which he lamented the gen
eral neglect of fruit raising on the part of
the farmers of the Western states. He
said san acre of fruit can be raised just
as easily as an acre of
potatoes and if any class of men
ought to possess and enjoy the wonderful
and beautiful blessings, it is the farmers,
and would not stop at fruit. would
have flowers growing around every farm
house to beautify and improve the country,
and | think that the man who lets his
| children grow up without flowers is not
doing his duty to those children"
BLACK HEART.
IAC uSlAL hitl POI OAl OAlO diiAAAlS huc
an essay on ''Black Heart in Fruit Trees"
by Vice President A. W. Sias, of Roches-
ter, who treated what he called ''this dark
and dismal subject" in mastery manner
and expressed the opinion that the disease
did not always ruin the trees.
QUESTION BOX.
The question box was then opened and
the following matters discussed: When
the crab apple is grown on the crab stock
will they grow as large as they will on the
common stock? Mr.. PETER thought that
it made no difference. Mr.. Sias expressed
the opinion that by drafting on dwarf
stock the apple would be dwarfed,
Gov. Coleman gave his experience which
was that large fruit could be raised by
grating on dwarf stock. This seemed to
be the general opinion of those present
and after lengthy discussion on the sub
ject the session adjourned to meet again at
7 o'clock.
The evening session was held in room
provided for the purpose in the basement
of the University building proper.
A paper by Geo. J. Kellogg, of James
