Winter has not much work for the orchard, but orchardisls can plan for the days to come, and the planning is just as essential as anything they can do. A colonization scheme is on for the Arkansas valley that means the importation of enough experienced fruit growers to put a family on every ten acres. That means fruit in this coun try as it has never meant fruit before If we could see all the bugs and worms that the frost puts out of the way ever winter, it would help us to bear cold weather with better grace. If we plow late, we give Jack Frost a good lift in his work. That makes it easier for him to reach down and get hold of the pests that make us so much trouble.

Every pest has a natural enemy, which will prey upon it and keep it in check. This applies to the San Jose scale which is now causing so much trouble in Kansas and Oklahoma, but the parasites have not found the host yet.

W. Codings Heads Organization for Third Time Against Auditorium on Market Squarp. The Sedgwick County Horticultural society meeting was held in the court house Thursday afternoon. The program consisted of papers by .12. Bou-ton, Dugs vs.

Dugs, by D. E. Blair, of Mulvane, Irrigation of Blackberries, by Thomas McNally, and How to Make the Horticultural Society Interesting, by the president, G. W. Col-lings.

These papers created quite a discussion in which almost every one piesent took part. Professor Glynn of the department of entomology of the University of Kansas was present and took part. Mr. Blair, who made a number of trips to California and the west presented the society with a large number of mouhted specimens of foreign trees which grow in the state house grounds at Sacramento, California. It being the annual meeting the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, G.

W. Col- lings; Vice President, Clinton Fager; Secretary, Mrs. E. G. Hoover; Treasurer, E.

G. Hoover; delegates to the state horticultural meeting, E. II. Cooley and Mr. Fager; alternates, Messrs.

Hansen and McNally. The matter of the use of the market square for the location of the new auditorium was considered. There was a division of sentiment as to the proposition to allow the city the use of this location. President Collings took the position that in as much as this was purchased for a market an injunction could prevent its use for any other purpose. He was instruct ed to appoint a committee, of which he was to be chairman, to look into the matter and act in connection with kindred societies, in whatsoever way the committee saw fit.

Mo. eases and more than paid in a social way. I think you will all agree with me when I say that the success of this society is largely due to the fact that It has been fortunate in the choice of a most excellent secretary. The secretary more than anyone else makes the society. Her attendance has been regular, and her work always well done and this means every thing for the success of the society.

Now a few words about the future development of the society. We all should keep in mind the fact that this society is still in its infancy. It ought to grow and develop much more in the future than it has in the past. The fields of its future development and usefulness stretch away in boundless and inviting vistas before it. Another fact to keep in mind is that its future development will depend upon the active fidelity of Its individual members.

One sparrow does not make spring; neither can one member make the horticultural society. The united and earnest cooperation of every one is needed the esprit de corps. This means that there should always be a regular and full attendance of the members at all the meetings. Keep in mind the time of the meeting, and when it comes do not allow anything to stand in the way of your being there. And when there always take a part in the meeting.

If nothing else, always vote, yes or no, on every motion. If you are on the program do not fail under any consideration and give the subject assigned to you your very best effort. The careful preparation of your subject will do you more good than you can think. Try it. Here I want to suggest that all papers read before the society ought to be left with the secretary to keep on file.

This is done in the State Horticultural society, and we ought to do it. The secretary, some two years ago, hit upon the very excellent idea of having a scrap book in which she lasted the papers that were published. But since only a few of them are published the manuscripts should be kept on file. A simple request, by the society for copies of papers would probably be sufficient. Mr.

Blair made a suggestion some months ago that seemed to me to be a good one, and I had hoped he would follow it up and present it to the society. The suggestion was that the society have an entomologist. The success or failure of the fruit grower depends largely upon the successful combatting of insects, and all information along this line is eminently useful to him. In fact it is useful to everyone who grows anything. If the society should create the office of entomologist, and get some active and intelligent young person to take it it might be made a splendid success.

But the person who takes it ought to take an interest in it, and with all be a student. With such an officer the society could well afford to procure a good microscope, and any other needed appliance. Another thing is worthy of your consideration. Since fungus diseases are as damaging to the fruit industry as are the insects, would it not be well to have a department of mycology for the study of this subject? What would it mean to the fruit grower if he knew how to successfully combat the blight of the pear, the quince and the apple? The apple growers in this valley are now up against a worse calamity than the San Jose scale, in the apple blotch. This is a funguous disease that we have all had for some years and thought it was apple scale.

Then there is the different kinds of rot, and rust and mildew of the various kinds of fruit. No variety of fruit is free from the ravages of one or more fungus diseases. It seems to me that there is no brand of horticulture that is of more importance to every kind of fruit grower than mycology. In the future the person whose knowledge along these lines is the best and most comprehensive and accurate will be the one who will succeed. Who will say that all this knowledge is not accessible to the faithful student and careful and painstaking investigator? It certainly Is worth the effort.

rgaaaraMflgg sssse: Pay only $10 a Month and Get a 10-Acre Farm that will Earn $2,000 a Year. NO INTEREST. NO TAXES. LOCATED IN Showing a Truck Farm at Falfurrias. The following paper was read before the annual meeting of the Sedgwick County Horticultural society, Thursday afternoon.

In it will be found many suggestions helpful to members of the other societies. This society owes its existence to Mr. Frank Yaw. It was he who published the call for the meeting to organize it. You may say that was a little thing that any one could have done that.

Even so, but the fact remains that no one else did do it, and it remained for Mr. Yaw to take the initiative and start it. The meeting was held at the Court house on Feb. 13th, 1904. Some one presumably Mr.

Yaw-had procured the attendance of Mr. Barnes who was at that time Secretary of the State Horticultural Society. The presence of Mr. Barnes at the meeting was of great service in starting the society. The meeting was not largely attended.

The following are the names of some of the persons who became members at this first meeting. Not having had access to the records the list is probably not complete, but I think it contains the most of them: J. H. Dratley, E. Banton, G.

A. Blair, E. H. Cooley, G. W.

Codings, C. H. Cooley, T. J. Coulter, G.

B. Culver, E. T. F. Carr, John Ditch, F.

Yaw, C. M. Irwin, J. C. Mossman, Thos.

McNallie, W. W. McManning, Fred Ross, W. F. Schell, A.

W. Sinclair, G. A. Sewell, F. E.

Wickham. The officers elected were C. M. Ir-wji: president; Frank Yaw, vice president, E. C.

Cooley, secretary; F. E. Wickham, treasurer. For the first few years the growth and development of the society was slow. One of the chief obstacles in the way of its development was the irregular attendance of its members, and especially of the officers.

Dur ing the first two or three years the officers were very irregular in attendance, and persons who were assigned places on the program were also quite frequently absent. A few times it happened that there was an entire failure' of the program. These things were all very bad for the society. Now while the attendance is not as regular as it should be, it is very much better than it was at the first. Some times persons who are on the program fail, but I am pleased to say that such failures are now: One of the ways in which the soci ety has developed is that we all understand our work much better than we did at first.

WTe not only understand our work better, but we know and under stand each other better. We are now beginning to know what we are here for, and when w'e want to know anything we know how to get at it. This is a great help. The work done by this society was discussed at a recent meeting, hence it is not desirable to go into that again. Suffice it to say that its work has been along lines that cover almost every subject that is of interest to the horticulturalist its work has been practical and useful, and I think I may say it has been fairly efficient.

I think it would be hard 'to find a member of the society, who has attended its meeting with some regularity, who does not feel that he has been well paid for his attendance. Paid in the knowledge of horticulture he has gained, paid in the knowledge of the management of his place, paid in knowledge gained of methods of combatting insects and funguous dis The Gulf Coast Country of Texas.
