DBS MOINES , Dec. S. ( Special Tele-
gr.iin. ) The anqual meeting of the Iowa
Hortlcultuial society opened today and v.lll
continue three dajs. There are about 150
leading horticulturists present , represcntlns
Iowa and neighboring states. The Most
important mattei taKcn up was the In.m-
Biiratlon of a movement to sccuro cooperation
tion of other vvcstein fiult lalsei.s with
those of Iowa In efforts to sccuie a beltei
market for western fruits. It was shown
that ciops of fruits have been so largo that
the homo maikct will not absorb them
piontably , nnd the proposal Is to have
agents go abroad nnd gccuic for the west
ern part of the patronage which European
countries have given to fruit growers of
the eastern states for a number of > ears
Reports from all over the state indicated
the damngo done hy drouths of leccnt
bushes In the stale
> cars to fruit trees and
Is piactlcally overcome ; that the ciop of
the past season was the largest ever raised ,
and that even In the northern part of the
state commercial orcharding Is an assured
success. A number of papers on horticul
tural topics ware read.
