All sorts of pests and blights were discuesed. This after- noon the delegates were the guests of the electric road, and were taken through tho Goldridge section. They were afterward shown about the city in automobiles. To-night's session proved full of in- terest to all who attended. Among the speakers was Professor M. B. Waite of the Department of Agriculture, who had for his subject “Pear Blight; Its Control in California.” Professor Walte is recognized as the country’s greatest expert on pear blight, and his remarks were heard with close attention. A lec- ture by Alexander G. McAdle, the Weather Bureau expert, was cleverly and interestingly illustrated. It was a feature of to-night's session. Other speakers were Professor Vernon L. Kel- logg, Professor Ralph E. Smith and Dudley Moulton. At the conclusion of to-morrow after- noon’s session the convention will ad- Journ.
