he grounds get off at Eustis Avenue, which the conductor
will point out to you. From that place cars run every fifteen minutes
into the Farm grounds, an extra fare of five cents being charged. Ask
the conductor to let you off at the gymnasium building, which you will
reach from the street car after a short walk over ground still ungraded
and where no special path has been provided. Getting off at that point,
however, saves a long walk from the terminal station. If in doubt as to
the way, follow the sign of the arrow.
VISIT TO STATE FRUIT-BREEDING FARM.--This farm is located at
Zumbra Heights, twenty-two miles west of Minneapolis on the Minneapolis
and St. Louis railroad. The train leaves depot at 8:35 a.m. Return can
be made by way of Zumbra Heights landing on Lake Minnetonka and the lake
steamers via trolley line to Minneapolis, or by waiting until
mid-afternoon a train can be secured returning to the city on the
railroad. One or more of the professors will go out Saturday morning,
June 24th, to accompany any who may desire to take advantage of this
opportunity to visit the Fruit Breeding Farm in a body. There are many
things of interest there, the special timely feature at this season
being the fruiting of a large field of No. 3 strawberries, which variety
gives promise of being the coming commercial berry of the Northwest.

later than Monday, June 19th. No entries whatever will be received at
the meeting. The exhibitors are urged to send in their entries at as
