In the absence OF President {. w.
Boyer, president OF the Berkeley
County Horticultural Society, who is
sick at his home near Bunker HILL
the meeting was called TO order by
Mr.. Gray Silver, who made brief
welcoming address and the fruit men
Immediately got down TO business
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Nat T.
f'rame was unable to reach Martins
burg In time his. the first address on
the program, was postponed until this
afternoon, and Professor Giddings
talk opened the program
Prof. Giddings Address.
Prof NJ j Giddings, Plant patholo
gist from the University OF West
Virginia, in discussing his subject
Important Fungus Diseases Of Apple
and Peach Trees" held his audience
of nearly one hundred az careful at.
tentfon
Thai deep thought was given to his
discussion was shown by the numer-
Gus questions that were asked by
those in attendance when the round
table open discussion followed his
address.
The feature that seemed from the
discussion 10 be uppermost in the
minds Of fruit growers is the relative
value OF busting and spraying in
peach and apple orchards for per
fecting the fruit
busting VS.. Spraying.
Prof Giddings discussed the results
of busting and spraying both from the
scientific and commercial sides. He
gave as HIS conclusions. based on the
experiments made that busting was
very satisfactory for the control OF
both insects and diseases in peach
orchards and that it was satisfactory
for the control OF insects, including
coddling moth, in apple orchards but
that 1t had not been found satisfac-
tory from their experiments for the
treatment OF diseases in apple or
chards. In this connection, It is well
TO state that Prof. Giddings made il
plain thar the experiments for con
troll of scab and other apple orchard
diseases had not been carried on
very extensively owing to unforeseen
difficulties that came up when ex-
periments were to have been made.
He did SHOW, however. wonderful
~ good results from the use of Bord-
eaux spray in the treatment or sup
preston OF scab in apple orchards.
He was careful to emphasize, too,
that while the Bordeaux spray
brought excellent results, il was
treatment that called for the utmost
care as most grave results might fol
low careless use.
Prof Giddings finished speaking al
II o'clock and for some minutes there
after the session was taken up with
discussion. In the discussion it was
brought out that in busting peaches,
the same schedule was used AS in
spraying and that usually three APP
plications were made. The first ap-
plication OF dust is combination Of
80 per cent sulphur and 10 pcr cent
arsenate busting was found con
trel the coddling moth in apples bet
ter than the spraying process. The
finer the sulfur used, the better the
results have been.

| Giddings talk Mr.. Scott II Fulton.
one Of the best known, and most pro
gressive hortieulturists in the eaat
gave u most interesting talk on the
subject OF cooperative Marketing.
His excellent handing OF the sub
ject, which Is a mighty big and LIN.
portant one, showed that he had civ
Gu 1t careful study and much thought.
Mr., Fulton was frankly In favor OF
cooperation and so stated but. he did
not hesitate to show that it Is not d
panacea for all the problems OF fruit
marketing. He showed clearly that
II was not enough for group OF
men to say here we are, we arc

He showed that there are instances
where some OF the individual grow
ers wcufd iruvr-to give while others
took and that it is q proposition that
should no handled by broad minded
men.
While he was most careful to bring
out the weaknesses OF cooperative
marketing and show up the pitfalls.
he nevertheless gave the preponder
ance Of evidence as in favor OF the
cooperative plan
