STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 25 



It is most important that the statistical work to which atten- 

 tion is caUed by both the president and secretar)' be taken up and 

 facts and figures regarding the planting of orchards and especi- 

 ally the volume of fruit produced be made a subject of authentic 

 record year by year. And we urge upon the executive commit- 

 tee that definite measures be adopted by which these records 

 may be obtained. 



We recommend that the executive committee investigate the 

 svibject of packages for marketing boxes for half bushel, bushel 

 and half barrel, ascertain cost of manufacture to insure light- 

 ness and strength and exhibit same at future meetings thereby 

 helping to an uniformity of shipping packages, and that the 

 subject of legislation to require the use of such uniform pack- 

 ages be investigated and report made at the next annual meeting 

 of this society.
