DISCUSSION. 
Mrs. Stager: I want to ask something right here about the 
experiment stations. I believe they are to decide at the ex- 
periment stations what fruits are best adapted to those locali- 
ties where the stations are located. I believe there is an ex- 
periment station at St. Cloud. We have never had any reports 
from that place, or known whether anything has been done to 
help it or not. 
Sec. Latham: Mr. Meyers was the gentleman in charge of 
the reformatory at the time the experiment station was estab- 
lished. Ihada letter from him lately, speaking of his removal. 
He has been superseded by another gentleman, and since that 
nothing is being done there,, Ithink it would be best to drop 
it from the list of stations. 
Mrs. Stager: People around there would like to have some 
place to go to see how things ought tobedone. When the trees 
and fruits were shipped to St. Cloud, they lay there until the con- 
victs came out and planted them,and most of the small fruits were 
put inside the reformatory grounds where nobody could ever 
see them; and while our people were anxious to learn all they 
could about the matter, yet the experiments carried on there 
were of no help to them. There are several parties there, if 
they had a chance, who would be willing to take fruit and take 
care of it for the good of the people outside.
