The Fruit Growers' Association of Bedford County held its second annual convention in the Court House on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and the exhibit of apples, Bedford County's best product, was fine to look upon.

It consisted' of 158 plates. There were also a few pears. The attendance was far too small but all were well pleased with the meetings. Those in attendance are the ones who are ever ready to make the best of their opportunities when information along fruit culture lines is freely given, at their doors.

It is not that our people are not up to the average, but they are indifferent to their own intezjests. They make a big fuss if any one takes advantage of them, because they have failed to get the necessary information when offered at their doors. But we are hoping that they will wake up to the fact that if they do not look after themselves no one else will.

Get posted and keep posted by grasping information at all times. The meeting opened Monday evening at half past seven. Hon J. M. Reynolds made an excellent address of welcome, pointing out the fact that Dr.
