FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 



181 



Prof. O. K. White, of Lansing, has been with us on three occasions, giving demonstra- 

 tions on pruning and spraying, following in a short time with one on thinning. At our 

 Agricultural Fair was held by him a demonstration on packing and grading of all fruits. 

 All of which were highly appreciated and for which we extend to Prof. O. K. White and the 

 State Association our hearty thanks.

After the close of the past year, with much open weather and a large part of our crops 

 in storage to dispose of we have not given the Society time or thought. We have only 

 had three meetings but have arranged for several in the near future. This accounts for 

 our small membership at present but I am sure we will have more in the near future. 

 Members are as follows:

Seventeen in all. I hope to have more in the near future. We are interested in the 

 market conditions of our fruit, with strong talk of a cooperative system as outlined by our 

 State Secretary, Mr. C. E. Bassett, who spoke to us on the first of March. We heartily 

 agree with Mr. Bassett on the proposition. The consumer and producer must get in 

 closer touch with each other. We also recommend honest measure with an honest pack 

 label for advertisement and protection. We also recommend larger acreage, which will 

 strengthen our organization and reduce the cost.
