AFTERNOON SESSION 

 Wednesday, January 13, 1915. 



(Meeting called to order at 2.10 by the President). 



THE PRESIDENT: In introducing the next speaker, 

 1 am not going to say quite as much as I should like to, be- 

 cause I am a modest man myself and I know how it would 

 effect him if I said all I would like to. However, I am glad 

 that the Fruit Growers' Association and Professor Cheno- 

 weth are going to have a chance to get a little better 

 acquainted. I think it will be good for both of them, and I 

 only want to say that Professor Chenoweth and I have been 

 associated together in the work at Amherst for two years, 

 and I have had the privilege of knowing him perhaps as Avell 

 as anybody, and in consequence I want the rest of you to 

 know him. Quite recently he had an extremely flattering of- 

 fer in the way of salary, to go back to his alma mater at thb 

 University of Missouri,' to take charge there of the depart- 

 ment of Pomology, and I think it speaks well for tlie liking 

 of Professor Chenoweth for his job, and for the Trustees' 

 liking for Professor Chenoweth, that he is not going out 

 there. This present semester he has been giving at the col- 

 lege a course which we call commercial pomology, one part 

 of which has been working in the manufacture of various 

 things, jams and jellies, fruit juices and things of that kind, 

 and I think it speaks well for the course and more for the 

 instructor that practically all of those taking the course 

 wanted to do extra work. Now, when you find a course 

 where the students enter into the work and work overtime 

 at it, you have got something that is pretty interesting and 

 you have got a pretty good man handling it. I have now 

 great pleasure in presenting Professor W. W. Chenoweth of 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College, who will speak to 

 us on "The Manufacture of Horticultural By-Products. " 

 (Applause).
