FRUIT GROWERS.
Audrain County Men Getting
: Together in Organization.

Association of Audrain county
was held in the County Treas
urer's office Saturday afternoon,
January 18th.
While the meeting was calle.l
on short notice, and there was not
full attendance, yet those present
showed themselves live, wide
awake business meh, deeply inter
ested in the work they have in
hand.
The object of the meeting was
TO arrange a program and secure
an experienced and successful
fruit grower from abroad, to at
tend a meeting and deliver an ad-
dress. The secretary was in
structed to arrange a program and
fix date for the meeting. not
later than February 18th. and ex-
tend an invitation, through the
papers, to every fruit grower n
the county, no difference how
small his orchard.
Noble Barnes spoke of the i'm
portance of getting every fruit
grower in the county interested
so that when we do have "a full
crop, which we surely will have
some time, we will be in shape to
find a profitable market for our
surplus. 81 am a small grower,
yet | feel that this organization
is just as important to the small
grower as the large, for if he can
not dispose of his surplus at d
profit, what shall / do with miner"
VIM. Mason advised holding the
meeting early and having the sub
ject of spraying and other i'm
portant orchard questions dis
cussed, so that the growers would
have plenty of time after hearing
the discussion, to make prepara
tiOns for doing the work before
the season came.
Kelly Wilkerson, who market
ed nine car loads of apples ttii8
season, from his orchards, gave an
account of his experience, which
was both interesting and instruct
i've. He shipped to Dakota, Kan
sas and Texas. He stated he had
a list Of five hundred apple buyers,
with whom he corresponded he
fore deciding upon the market to
which he would ship. He urged
the Importance of this work, in
order to avoid shipping to d
market already supplied.
j. R. Bell stated that "while il
is early to make any prediction
in regard to the next crop, l think
so far, conditions are favorable. "
w. L. Kent, who has served tho
Society faithfully as secretary,
ever since its organization, three
years ago, asked to be relieved, on
account of the extra work of that
office, and Noble Barnes was qp.
pointed instead.
j. w. Rouse presented some
good thoughts on bee-keeping and
expressed regret that bee-keepers
in the county take so little inter
est in these meetings.
The following are the members
of the Audrain county Association
all mighty good men, but the
membership ought to be doubled
and thribbled at once. Without a
county organization, if a full crop
OF apples should be raised in Au.
drain county this season, the
chances are that great quantities
would be left to rot ON the ground
