PRESIDENTS ANNUAL ADDRESS

Members of the Mississippi Press AS.
sociation-Ladies and Gentlemen:
We meet today in the forty-third an
nual session of our association. These
annual gatherings of the members of
the Mississippi Press, if rightly appre-
ciated, are always profitable seasons
for retrospection, for present enjoya-
BILE social intercourse and mutual
pleasure, and for hopeful contempla-
ton and high resolves for future
achievement. Any organization of in
telligent men which has survived
through the storm and sunshine for
forty-three years has proved its right
to exist and be perpetuated. Formed
during the short, uncertain interval be-
tween the civil war and the nightmare
of Republican reconstruction and mis-
rule into which Mississippi and the
whole South were soon to be plunged,
On through all the years of it's history
down to this day, take the member.

Hon. FIJI. Scribner, Presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Butter
makers Association, but more
especially honored in the Pacific
Northwest as the breeder of
Loretta D" belonging to the
W. S. Ladd estate, Portland,
Oregon), the COW that won first
prize in the 120 day milking
test at the ST. Louis Exposition
in 1904, has said:
."There is no spot in our great
United States that can excel
Oregon and Washington in dairy
ing. This is my conclusion af-
ter spending six weeks in the
former state and thoroughly in
vestigating several of her bea uti-
full valleys, and after an extend
ed trip through Washington. l
wish to say to the dairymen and
farmers of this section, relative
to its dairying possibilities, that
I fear they don't fully appreciate
the wonderful opportunity here
for>.the raising of feeds best
adapted to the dairy industry,
and the excellent climatic con-,
ditions for the growth and de-
velopment OF stock. You should
here reach the climax of pro-
ductiveness."

River on Monday having at
tended the Hood River Apple
Show, Prof. Lewis being the
Judge Of the display They re-
port q fine showing, fully sus-
tanning the reputation of that
section in the production of
choice fruit.
With the increase of acreage
from year to year set to apples
the display naturally increases
and choice varieties of fruit are
looked after by the live, active
producer thus keeping in touch
with the keen competition that
naturally follows.
The Hood River people real
ize that to continue the growth
of this important industry it

pests that have played havoc
with some sections. The OAC
Profs. have made deep study Of
these conditions and are always
accorded a royal welcome where
