Vegetable Growers are Active 



The annual meeting- of the directors of 

 the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Associa- 

 tion was held in the office of the secretary, 

 J. Lockie Wilson, Parliament Buildings, 

 Toronto, on February 4th. Delegates from 

 the different branches were present, and 

 were enthusiastic over the work being done 

 by the association. 



The purchasing agent, Mr. W. J. Kerr, 

 stated that the cooperative buying had been 

 a financial success. He was perfectly satis- 

 fied with the work that had been accom- 

 plished during the year. The last bulletin 

 issued to the members contains quotations 

 on flower seeds, fertilizing and spraying 

 materials, as well as on vegetable seeds. 



It was decided to continue the vegetable 

 field crop competitions in onions, tomatoes 

 and celery. 



A vegetable tying machine was on exhi- 

 bition during the afternoon, and after the 

 delegates had examined the work done by 

 this machine, they passed the following re- 

 solution : 



"That the Saxmeyer Vegetable Tyer ex- 

 hibited and operated at our annual meet- 

 ing is a labor, saver and would be of ma- 

 terial assistance to vegetable growers, and 

 as these machines cost $90 in the United 

 States and the duty is $26, we would re- 

 spectfully recommend that the duty be re- 

 moved from tying- machines until such time 

 as they are manufactured in this country." 



There was a pleasant break in the routine 

 of business when the delegates presented 

 Mr. Thos. Delworth, of Weston, with a gold 

 watch as a token of their appreciation of 

 the practical interest he had taken in the 

 work of the association. The secretary, J.
