SUTTONS BAY FRUIT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. 

 (Auxiliary to State Society.) 



Preliminary meetings were held in the Suttons Bay Town Hall during the first 

 month of the year 1910. Articles of Association under provisions of Act No. 171 

 of the Public Acts of Michigan for 1903, were taken out under date of March 19, 

 1910, which states the purpose for which the Association was formed: "The pro- 

 motion of the interests of Horticulture and Fruit growing in the county of 

 Leelanau and the State of Michigan, by encouraging the raising of fruits and 

 horticultural products and the development and extension of a market thereof." 

 A meeting was duly called and the following officers were nominated and elected: 

 Philip Egeler, president; Theo. Esch, vice-president; W. M. Payne, secretary; Claus 

 Von Glahn, Treasurer; Directors, W. M. Payne, one year; E. J. Peck, two years; 

 John Blacken; three years; Claus Alpers, four years; Joseph Crocker, five years. 



The annual meeting of the Association is held on the first Monday in February 

 of each and every year. At present there are 48 members a few of whom are 

 owners of property within the county but who reside elsewhere but take a live 

 interest in the Association. 



Spraying material is purchased by the members co-operatively although the 

 purchase of trees is individual. Several meetings have been held with outside 

 speakers present. Two very interesting demonstration meetings, O. K. White, 

 presiding, were held, one on the farm of Nels Oleson outside the village limits 

 the other on the fruit farm of Marsland & Hinshaw of Provemont, both meetings 

 being well attended. Since the organization of the Association a deeper interest 

 has been taken both in the matter of spraying of trees and in the marketing of 

 the products. In this matter the Association is deeply indebted to Mr. E. O. Ladd 

 of Old Mission and Rev. A. Bentall of Northport, who are ever willing to render 

 assistance in time of need. The time is not far distant when Suttons Bay will 

 be noted as well for her choice fruit as she is today for her potato market.
