Those who attended the fortieth anniversary meeting of the Michi- g-an Horticultural Society are truly glad to have had such an opportun ity of seeing presented the practical industry side of the fruit-growing of Michigan. We were more than glad to make the acquaintance of such men as President Smythe, Prof. Waite, VV. W. Farnsworth, T. A. Farrand and others, who are leading not only Michigan horti culture, but American horticulture as well. T he discussions particularly on spraying interesting', as were were also the talks on apple g r o w ing. Miss Taylor showed clearly what a woman could do in raising fruit.

S he said she truly believed that the wives of progressive fruit-growers Were the happiest of all classes of women. No wonder then that so many fruit-growers are successful. there was a general handshake with old and young M. A. C. alumni, among whom were C. VV. Garfield, ' 6 9; C. B. Cook, ' 8 8; W. T.

T h e re is but one person whose welfare is as vital to (he welfare of the whole country as is that of the wage-worker who does manual labor, and that is the tiller of the soil--the farmer. If there is one lesson taught by history, it is that permanent greatness of any- the State must ultimately depend more upon the character of its country population than upon anything else. No growth of cities, no g r o w th of wealth, can make up for a loss in either the number or the character of the farming population. In the United States more than in almost any other country we should realize this and should prize our country population. W h en this nation he- gan its independent existence it was as a nation of farmers. T he towns were small and were for the most part mere seacoast trading and fish ing ports. T he chief industry of the country^ w as agriculture, and the ordinary citizen was in some way- connected with it. In every great crisis of the past a peculiar depend ence has had to be placed upon the farming population ; and this de pendence has hitherto been justified. But it can not he justified in the future if agriculture is permitted to sink in the scale as compared with other employments. We can not afford preeminently- that typical American, the farmer who owns his own farm.—[From Presi dent Roosevelt's address at M. A. C.
