REMARKS: One important point stands out prominently in
the orchard work in Kentucky, and this is that especial i
attention was paid to old orchards. We have got to prove to
the farmers of Kentucky that an orchard properly pruned
and sprayed will produce fruit that is superior to any grown
in other states. If we prove that, new orchards will be
planted without any special effort on our part.
We are proud of the showing made in orchard work, as,
after all, this is merely an incident in connection with demon-
stration work.
A great deal of this splendid work was made possible by
the hearty cooperation of Professor Carmody of the Exten-
sion Department who assisted the county agents in every
way possible. His valuable work deserves special mention.
