MILLER, '08, WRITES OF TRIP TO SPOKANE. The following letter will be of in terest to the “bughunters,” especially the horticulturists. “Ultowah, Tenn., Dec. 2, 1914. Prof. B. J. Kyle, College Station, Tex. “Dear Prof. Kyle—I have just re turned from a very pleasant and in structive trip to Spokane, Wash., where I attended the National Apple Show as a representative of the L. & N. R. R. “The apple show was great, and showed effectively what can he done with the proper methods of spraying, pruning, thinning, cultivating, fer tilizing, picking, grading, packing and marketing. It would certainly be a treat if all of your students could have an opportunity of visiting and studying a show like that. “The entries for premiums were in twenty-five, ten, five and one-box lots, besides the district as well as origin al and attractive displays. In .addi tion to this there was every conceiv able by-product, spray material, spraying appartus, etc. They have even learned to make an excellent apple syrup. “A very prominent feature in con nection with the show was the Fruit Growers’ Congress. This was very interesting and instructive: All of the lectures will be published in “The Apple Annual,” which can be obtained for 35c by writing to the secretary of the National Apple Show at Spo kane. “I was invited to read a paper on “Control of the Codling Moth” and “Apple Growing in North Georgia,” and felt highly honored, especially as I happened to be the only one on the regular program east of Montana. I am enclosing a copy] of the program, which may he of interest to you. “I also took an exhibit of ten va rieties of Georgia apples with me. It attracted a great deal of attention, and to my surprise it would have taken a premium if it hadl been eligi ble under the Western rules. I had intended it merely for an advertise ment. Our Georgia apples have a much better flavor than those of the Northwest, where nearly all of them are raised under irrigation. “I was surprised at the enormous prices of the apple lands, ranging all the way from $200 to as high as $3,- 000 and even $4,000 an acre. “From Spokane I took a side trip to Portland and Seattle. Also had the pleasure of visiting the Arcadia Orchard at Deer Park, Wash,, twenty- seven miles norths of Spokane. It is the largest orchard in America, and possibly in the world, containing 7,369 acres in one solid tract. Would like to have visited the noted North Ya kima, Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Lew iston, Bitter Root Valley, Hood River and Medford districts, hut my time was too limited. These, together with Spokane Valley, are the princi pal apple growing districts in the Northwest. “Between now and Christmas Mc- Elroy and I will spend most of our time in the citrus belt of Southern Alabama and Mississippi. Over 3,- 000,000 citrus trees, mostly Satsuma oranges, have been planted there within the last few years. “I note with pleasure the Texas pa pers and The) Battalion that our dear A. & M. College is progressing nicely and that the football warriors have just finished a successful season. - “With best wishes to the whole bunch for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I remain, “Yours sincerely, “E. A. MILLER, ’08.” A LITTLE STORY OF COLLEGE LIFE, The sopohomore had finished his studying for the night and decided to retire. But he felt that he would he negligent of his class duties if he did I not go out and disturb some “fish” j before going to bed. An idea struck i him. He 'wenij out and informed the most boisterous freshman on the floor that he was going to bed and ordered him to come and tuck him in. The freshman did as he was bid. He first arranged the bed clothing, then he smoothed the pillow, and when the sopohomore had crawled in bed he j tucked the covers in nicely around him. Then, bending over his perse cutor as a mother bends over a sleep ing child, he kist him a resounding smack and fled. KEBLE CLUB HOLDS THIRD MEETING.
