58 AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



Resolved, That it is still the sense of the State Pomological 

 Society that apple storage is a live question for investigation 

 in Maine and that a committee, consisting of the executive com- 

 mittee and the member from the Society on the station council, 

 is hereby appointed and instructed to have a bill, similar to the 

 one that has been introduced in the last two legislatures, intro- 

 duced in the legislature of 1917, asking for an appropriation 

 of $7,500 for the purpose of construction at Highmoor Farm 

 of an experimental storage plant. 



Resolved, That an efifort be made to detail more specific work 

 for the trustees of the Society. 



Resolved, That an efifort be made to increase the efficiency of 

 the apple packing and grading law. 



Resolved, That regulations should be inserted in our premium 

 list, regulating the use of exhibitors' names on packages of fruit 

 for our annual exhibit. 



Resolved, That some limit be placed in the regulations con- 

 cerning the amount of fruit to be used in the exhibit for the 

 best display of fruity Class No. 12. 



Resolved, that the appointment of judges for fruit in the 

 annual exhibit be left with the executive committee. 



Resolved, That the annual meeting be made primarily a fruit 

 exhibit and business meeting, and that a larger portion of the 

 funds be used for speakers of note, in meetings throughout the 

 towns of the state. 



Resolved, That an efifort be made to take the matter of print- 

 ing out of the hands of the state printer. This resolution is 

 based on the unsatisfactory condition now existing, whereby the 

 premium list and annual report are seriously delaye-^i after being 

 submitted. 



Respectfully submitted,
