the majorety of the people, as they seem to think it for the ben eft of the selected few. This is great mistake as it is intended for the good of everyone. It is intended purely to get the grow CTS close together and exchange ideas for better crops and better methods. Our aim is to get the best talent of the country to speak and to read papers on diff. ferent crops and analyze them so the man who never grew any fruit or truck can by becoming a member of this society, raise al- most any of the crops grown in our state.
 It only costs dollar to become member and you get in return, besides the benefits of attending
 
 the annual meetings, book con- taining the annual reports of the society, which is worth Sl00,00. Yes, there is no telling what it IS | worth in valuable nformation concerning the fruit and garden products of this great state. We urge every man to become a mem Der, as we not only need your dollar, but we need YOU. We need you for a booster and you have ideas for us and we for you.
 The committee has selected Fort Smith as the next meeting | place and we are arranging for a rate of one and third fare for the round trip on all railroads. The manager of the Goldman ho tel, Mr. Wyatt. has rendered the use of the hotel to us, where we have a large convention hall and two large rooms on the first floor for our exhibits and also the spa cious lobby of the hotel for our floral display. The citizens of Fort Smith are rallying their for ces and putting up their money to make this a great meeting. l met a nun Der of the leading men of the city and to man they are glad to have a part in such a great work. We want the large grower and the small, the man with just garden spot, the con- sumer, the doctor. lawyer, mer- chant, no matter what your vOca- tion may be, we want to enthuse you so that you will become one of our class and cultivate some of our lands that are lying waste at the present time.
 Where can you get such apples tas we grow with our best meth. ods, peaches, berries, sweet DC tatoes and vegetables of every kind. Do you know why they grow here insuch perfection? If not, I will tell you. It is because of the peculiar clements in our soil, our temperate climate, sun shine and humidity, the happy com bination of natural advant- ages found nowhere else on the continent.
 Help us to develope the great natural resources that lie wait ing at our doors. This is the mission of the Horticultural So ciety.

Report On Apple Crop.

From data received by sending cards of
inqurey to representative fruit growers
OF Missouri, the State Board Of Horticul.
tur has gathered the following results;--
The average apple crop for all sections
OF the state is about 60 per cent. This is,
according to every repor, bu, gve, much
better than last years crop, many report
ing 100 per cent better, while still others
say it is the best we have had in wears.
The usual June drop was not as severe
as might be expected mos, growers re-
porting it not at all serious.
There is quite difference in the rank
OF different varieties. Ben Davis has in
nearly every case full crop, while the
summer varieties are generally reported
shy. Other winter varieties, such as
Wnesap, Grimes Golden, Ingram, and
Gano have very promising crops. A large
majority of growers report insects ant
diseases, codling moth, scab, and bligh
being quite widespread. 1t is stated il
nearly every such case. however, tina
these are found only unsprayed orchards
Spraying this season has produced excel
lent results.
In this report Northwest Missouri lead
with y per cent of a full crop. Only on
man reported crop no better than las
year. Southwest Missouri follows wit
II per cent; Central Missouri, GO pc
cent: Southeast Missouri. g. per cen,
correspondents enthusiastically reportin
1t from two to four times as large as las
year. Northeast Missouri has the boo,
est crop of any section of the state 90 pc
cent.
At this time last year the crop was e.
timated at 37.5 per cent.
