hddloOli L W. =
The State Horticultural society met
in the senate chamber Tuesday morn
ing with about 80 members present.
Among these were b. $. HoXie of
Evansville and l.. d. Kellogg of Ripon,
both men of reputation and expert
nnce in fruit matters. President
Franklin Johnson gave the annual
opening address and a brief nursery
session followed
The afternoon meeting, a session
particularly in the interests of young
men, opened with a very good paper
on the Planting and Care of Straw
berries. by NJ. s Kellogg of GAINESVILLE.
He urged the necessity Of careful and
thorough preparation of the ground
beforehand Mr., Kellogg said that
in general the matted row system was
preferable to hill culture in this Sec
ton of the country.
The next paper read was on the
Small Fruit Outlook at Sparta, the
great small fruit center, by John i.
Herbst. He contended that growers
should aim to produce nothing but the
best, securing thereby the best yield
and the best prices. He reviewed con-
ditions and crops for some years past,
and from the present outlook, he pre-
iicted an unusually prosperous season
for small fruit growers, $4,000 cases
of small fruits. he says being shipped
from Sparta the past year.
The Culture of Small Fruits in Con-
nection with Other Farming, by Frank
Stark Of Randolph who was absent.
was read by A. j. Phillips the sec
rotary of the association. and was not
a conventional paper in any respect
Pleasantries were thrown in frequent
ly giving an agreeable effect. He said
there was no ironclad law for culture
OF strawberries, or other fruits, In
telligenee on the part of the grower
is what counts. Let your head save
your heels and back too he said.
Mr. Stark very happily applied many
of the old proverbs to fruit culture.
A. ]. Edwards Of Fl Atkinson gave
what he considered the best line Of
small fruits for the Wisconsin family
tried were too large. A few we'll
known varieties is better than many
sensational and uncertain sorts that
are sprung upon growers by enterpris-
ing nurserymen.

-eryman. had an interesting paper
which dealt with the relations between
