FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL RErORT. 145 



growers to work in cooperation with the Experiment Station as these 

 problems come up in a revised or right wa}^ and other capacities that we 

 can work it. 



Mr. HaHifiiin : T support the motion. 



C^hairman: How many do we want? 



Mend)ei': Ahout five is the gf'nei-al number. 



Memb(M': It seems to me if a thinjj; of that kind is to be carried on 

 it has got to l)e over a field bioad enough to get practical results. You 

 would have to have a man from each locality in order that you get some 

 definite knowledge^ as to our exp(M-im(mtal work in coinie(!tion with the 

 College. 



Mr. Farrand: We don't want too laige a Committee. The larger 

 youi' Committee the less you get anywhere. You want a grower to 

 i-epresent (<ach kind of fi'uit, one to represent the gi-ape growers, one 

 to r(>present the apple growers, etc. That is the kind of a Committee 

 we want. We hope out of this to have cold storage that will amount 

 to something. We are just stai'ting in fruit growing here and all of these 

 (liff(>rent problems are coming up. If we need equipment at our Experi- 

 ment Station the fruit growers should get back of the movement and 

 go to our Legislature and get money to supply those needs. The first 

 thing that we need is a new building. The Horticultural Building is a 

 i-elic of the past. It is a disgrace to the State and the fruit growers are 

 to blame. You get what you want and they can go on and do effective 

 work wdth the equipment. We must have men that will get back of 

 this movement and push. That is the kind of a Committee that we 

 want. 



Chairman : Any more questions? 



Mr. Miller: I notice that the remark has been made to work down 

 the Lake shore. Bear in mind Oakland County too. A year ago we 

 planted a thousand young trees in Oakland county and I believe one 

 of our problems in the future is going to be storage problems and I would 

 like to see our Experiment Station do some work on that. 



Chairman: Probably the best thing will be to leave this in the hands 

 of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will appoint 

 a Committee of 5 to act with the Horticultural Department of this 

 Experiment Station in regard to experiments that must be carried on. 



All in favor of this signify by saying "Aye." Carried. Mr. Secre- 

 tary The Executive Board will meet at this time tomorrow and will 

 appoint that committee. 



Member: I know there is quite an interest in cold storage proposition 

 investigation work that might be carried on by the Experiment Station. 

 I think we ought to have some sort of an idea as to what a thing of this 

 sort would cost. In 1911 or 12 we built in a small cold storage equip- 

 ment at the Oregon Agricultural College which cost about $3,500. To 

 carry on the work that we should carry on there and to meet the cold 

 storage problems that would eventually confront the growers we should 

 have probably not less than 8 or 10 storage rooms. That would take 

 care of some fruit that we would use for the College work and about 

 75% of the space could be turned over for Experimental Station Work. 



It would not be wise to construct a separate cold storage building, 

 to be used solely for such a purpose. A cold storage equipment could 

 ])e better and more economically installed as a part of a large building
