14 STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



After the discussion on the matter of asking the Legislature 

 to appropriate funds for the purchase of an experimental farm, 

 Dr. E. P. Turner was appointed as chairman of a legislative 

 committee to take up this particular matter, with power to 

 select and appoint his associates on this committee. 



On motion of Dr. Woods, duly seconded, the following reso- 

 lution was passed : 



Resolved, That it is the opinion of the Maine State Pomo- 

 logical Society that the best interests of Maine's fruit industries 

 demand increased work on the part of the Experimental Station 

 along lines of pomology, and that in order that this may be 

 possible we respectfully request the next Legislature to pass 

 the bill which was referred to them by the last Legislature, 

 whereby an experimental farm shall be purchased for the carry- 

 ing out of orcharding experiments under the direction of the 

 Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. 



During the afternoon session of November ii, the following 

 votes were passed : 



On motion of Dr. Turner, duly seconded, it was voted that

 trademark "Maine Apples" shall go on the heads of the bar- 

 rels, or on the outside of the packages, and that a poster on 

 which the law is printed shall be placed in the inside of the 

 barrel or package. ^ 



On motion of Mr. Leland, duly seconded, it was voted that 

 Dr. Twitchell be appointed our committee to present this mat- 

 ter before the Legislature and if possible secure the passage of 

 the proposed legislation.
