730 THE ERUIT INDUSTRY OF ^SEW YORK STATE 



SUMMER OR FIELD MEETINGS 



Summer or field meetings have been held each year. Two 

 have been held at Sodus, two at Olcott Beach, two at the Experi- 

 ment Station at Geneva, one each at Penn Yaii, Albion, Hilton, 

 Ithaca, Fredonia, and Plattsburg. 



The educational feature in the way of speeches, etc., is sub- 

 ordinated largely to the visiting of large fruit farms and learning 

 by observation instead of precept. It has come to be regarded by 

 our members as the annual event of the summer.
