   Following are a couple of last-minute announcements of general interest we wanted to publicize before ceasing publication this year.

From Jim Chevalier, Bayer CropScience Tech Service North Atlantic District: In case you hear rumors of Calypso's registration being cancelled -- There has been a mistake in the Federal registry that states Calypso uses on Pome fruit (and cotton) will be voluntarily cancelled by BayerCrop Science by Feb '07. This is an Agency error.  They have been notified and have been asked to render a retraction in the next available Federal Register (unfortunately around two weeks from now).  

From Kevin Maloney, Horticultural Sciences, NYSAES:
Save the date: Tuesday December 5th, 2006.  Cornell Apple Breeding Meeting and Fruit Showcase, Jordan Hall Auditorium, NYSAES, Geneva, New York  14532.  Details to follow.
