The Fruit Growers’ Association which met at Middleton on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week was one of the most interesting and successful sessions in the life of the institution. Many things connected with the success of apple raising received careful attention, and all the papers were thoroughly discussed. Mr. Johnson, Fruit Inspector from Ottawa; Mr. Flack of the Prairie Provinces and Mr. Edwin Smith of Ottawa, all three interesting lecturers. The subject of bee keeping was also well ventilated. Spraying as usual came in for its full share of attention and emphasized the fact that it is a most important part of successful fruit raising. Mr. George Saunders, of Round Hill, dealt minutely with the insect pest and the importance of spraying was one of the finest and best prepared lectures of the [session?] and received hearty [commendation?]. On Wednesday evening Premier Murray, A.L. Davidson, M.P., and A. DeWitt Foster, M.P., were present and delivered excellent addresses. A pleasant and fraternal feature of the session was a resolution, presenting to Mr. R.C. Starr, a vote of appreciation for his valuable service and an expression of regret that for the first time in fifty years, the venerable gentleman was unable to be present with his associate. The meetings closed at noon on Friday.
