culture" Prof. I. R. Shinn, U. of I.

tor J. R. Field, and a Review of
Our Horticulture Law" the "Past
and Present" introduced by G. C.

much. This meet, so full of promise,
should reap an untold harvest of be-,
nefit to our ranchers who only plant
a small orchard for family use and
to the larger fruit grower who ships,
quantities each year to the Eastern
markets.
