The court room was filled with res
idents of the city Thursday evening
when at the close of pleasing con-
cert rendered by the Kalispell band
President Emery called the State
horticultural society to order.
The published program could not
be followed owing to the fact that
two gentlemen on the program had
not arrived and consequently a few
changes were made in the order of
addresses. Before the regular pro-
gram was taken up, the president. Mr..
Emery, appointed Messrs. Whiteside,
Edwards and Willis, committee to
prepare resolutions on the death of
two members of the society.
Mr.. j. A. Fossum spoke briefly
on the substitution clause in fruit
contracts and took the stand that it
was a matter between each purchas-

a contract which is not what he
wants, it is his own fault and he

MI. Fossum. A general discussion

his experiences in deep planting of
fruit trees, which was followed by
a spirited discussion owing to the
fact that Mr.. Colville had taken the
stand that deep planting was advan-
