teresting statements in defense of the 

 railroad policy. In tliis discussion 

 Mr. Peet stated tliat onc-sixteentli of the 

 population of the United States re.sided 

 in New York, one-fifth of all our people 

 lived in cities containing more than 

 300,000 population. The urban popula- 

 tion was increasing much faster than 

 the producers of food, and that intelli- 

 gent application in the production of 

 food products should bring steadily in- 

 creasing profit. Mr. Peet made mention 

 of a family residing near Boise which 

 is cultivating twenty acres and sold 

 over $2000 worth of farm products. 

 Mr. Peet stated that the Union Pacific 

 and Oregon Short Line would soon 

 publish a free bulletin which would be 

 a compendium of useful information. 



Mr. Ornshy was asked to address the 

 society on the merits of the Hammond 

 Evaporator and Dehydration Process, 

 and said that a plant large enough to 

 handle 25 tons of fruit and vegetables 

 daily would cost about $.50,000. 



Mr. S. W. Foster of San Francisco 

 was delayed in reaching the meeting, 

 but arrived in time to discuss the 

 "Season Sprays" Saturday morning. 

 "Spraying as an Asset and Liability" 

 was also discussed by Frank E. Seeley 

 of Payette, and Prof. C. C. Vincent of 

 Moscow, Idaho, sent in a letter giving 

 the result of his experiments with dif- 

 ferent insecticides. 



The present board of officers and 

 directors were re-elected for the com- 

 ing year. The meeting adjourned and 

 separated in the feeling that the ses- 

 sions had been unusally interesting and 

 profiitable. 



BUREAU OF MARKETS SAFE 



It is announced in Washington that 

 little concern is felt in the Bureau of 

 Markets over the failure of Congress to 

 pass the agriculture appropriations bill 

 for the fiscal year beginning July 1. 



The bureau has sufficient funds to 

 carry on its work until that time. It is 

 expected that an extra session of Con- 

 gress will have been called, and in all 

 probability the agriculture bill will be 

 passed before July 1. In the event 

 that there is no session of Congress or 

 if the bill is not passed by that time, 

 some of the work of the bureau will 

 be curtailed, but it is stated even in 

 that event the work which would be 

 carried on could be done on a monthly 

 payment basis. 



The appropriation asked for by the 

 bureau for the coming fiscal year is 

 $2,689,365. More than half of this sum 

 is for the enforcement of the Standard 

 Grain Act. 



BIG MONEY FOR BEN DAVIS 



Some idea of the demand for apples 

 in the Eastern markets may be obtained 

 from the fact that a large pie company 

 recently closed a contract with a New 

 York commission house for 100,000 

 pounds of Ben Davis apples at 5 cents 

 per pound, equivalent to about $2.50 per 

 box. The pie company had a contract 

 with the Government to furnish 5,000 

 pies daily.
