The idea originated with Dr. W. L. Howard, Division of Pomology, whose belief it was that a knowledge of what constitutes a good orchard, is of utmost importance to Horticulture students. With this object in view, a score card was adopted. Numerous visits H: were made to nearby fruit districts and so intense was the interest that a committee was appointed to arrange for competition with other . L institutions. i Finally, after a great deal of correspondence a contest was arranged with Chaffey Junior College, at Ontario. The team, consisting of J. M. Glick, E. R. Tingley, S. W. Winter, B. H. Denbigh and Coach W. P. Duruz, '13 made the trip by automobile. What is considered to be the first Orchard i Wm Judging contest ever held was won by the ttCalifornia Aggiesf, A silver t wt'd cup, presented by the Southern California Canners Bureau became our ugh; temporary possession. The trophy must be won twice in succession for fur permanent ownership. On April 17th Chaffey Junior College is sending its team to Davis for the return contest. .wwi This activity has many promising possibilities. The committee has , i, :H'. been working unceasingly to interest high schools in similar competition. Mb Already high schools in several counties are taking up Orchard Judging. The prospects for increased interest in the schools are bright indeed. wk The committee has also spent considerable effort trying to interest other state agricultural colleges. Numerous letters have been sent and replies show that we are stimulating thought in a new enterprise, which looks like a most valuable thing in Horticulture. E491
