tart growth in the spring.

Late fall plowing, followed by early spring plowing and planting the
infested land to some clean cultivated crop destroys the wild onion pest
by killing both sorts of bulbs as the growth from them appears and
before they have a chance to multiply. The fall plowing should be deep,
and care should be taken to completely bury all green tops of the onion.
If very much top growth has been made, a harrow run before the plow will
facilitate the thorough covering of the tops.

Another interesting and valuable point about the wild onion is that the
spring bulbs rarely produce heads; consequently, if the infested land is
plowed in the fall, a spring oat crop practically free of onions can
always be secured. But for complete eradication of the onion, both fall
and spring plowing is necessary, and November is the best time to do the
fall work.

Annual Meeting, 1915, Wisconsin Horticultural Society.

CHAS. HARALSON, EXCELSIOR, MINN., DELEGATE.

The meeting was held January 5, 6 and 7, 1915, in the Assembly Room of
the State Capitol in Madison, Wis. Your delegate was present in time for
the opening session and given a chance with other delegates to deliver
the greetings of their societies.

The opening address by Governor Phillip was very interesting. He told of
the possibilities the State of Wisconsin offered fruit growers in a
commercial way with markets all around them. He advocated honest grading
and packing to obtain the top prices for the fruit. He also urged every
farmer to have a small orchard and fruit garden for home consumption.

Spraying and spray mixtures, illustrated, was ably presented by
Professor Geo. F. Potter, University of Wisconsin.

A speaking contest by ten students from University of Wisconsin competed
for prizes of $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00. This brought out almost every
phase of horticulture and was one of the most interesting sessions.

Commercial orcharding in the middle west was shown with moving pictures
and explanations by Sen. Dunlap, Savoy, Ill. These pictures illustrated
spraying, cultivating, harvesting, grading, packing, caring for the
fruit and marketing the same, and several other operations in connection
with uptodate commercial orcharding. He also gave a talk on spraying and
spraying materials. He said lime-sulphur is preferred in his locality.

A half hour question and answer session was led by Professor J.G. Moore,
University of Wisconsin, on prun
