!. Along this line a resolution was
later introduced by President Lit
taken to establish a school of train
ing in packing and in other impoi-
tant practical matters SO soon as
possible in every fruit growing Sec
tion of the county.
Fruit Inspection.
County fruit inspection was dis
cussed with great interest. The vital
Importance of an inspector, with an
ample lumber of deputies whenever
required, to give assistance and in
struction to growers, as well as to
do police duty, was emphasized. The
following special resolution, present
ed by Mr.. Utter, was passed unani-
mously:
Resolved, That, whereas. Chelan
county's farming interests are almost
exclusively horticultural, with possi-
bilities of vast developments, already
providing her with her chief sources
of revenue, and destined to attract &
large additional population in the
future; and, whereas, there is a vi
tai relation existing between skilled
fruit inspection and this success;
''Be it Resolved, That the Chelan
County Horticultural Association, in
annual convention at Wenatchee,
this 10Th day of December, 1907,
urge our county commissioners to do
all in their power to secure a COM
petent fruit inspector who shall con-
fine his efforts to this county, and, If
possible, to pay literally for such
services and for such deputies as he
may require out of the funds of this
county"
1t was shown that under the pres
ent method the expenses of inspec-
ton comes out of the county through
state collection.
Another matter that proved OF
great Importance and interest was
the report of the experiments cOl-
Quoted by the Pullman Agricultural
college professors in the valley last
season, and the positive statement
that by following the methods Of
spraying as demonstrated by them,
not one-half of one per cent of the
fruit in any orchard need be lost.
eve shipped seven thousand boxes
this year and did not lose one box
for wormy apples" said z. A. Ian
ham.
President J. F. Littooy, who, until
was for five years horticultural in
spector of Snohomish county and
who has exterted a wide influence in
promoting the horticultural interests
of Chelan county since residing here
pronounced it as his judgment that
any appreciable per cent of loss may
in future be eliminated in this Sec
tion. Whether it is or not, however
must rest wholly with the fruit grow
ers themselves, and it is his judg
ment that no expense nor pains
ought to be spared by the county ano
the people to study and to put into
practice the best methods of gettins
the highest results ou of their or
chards permanently, and of placing
their perfected fruit on the market:
in such shape as to always command
highest prices.
