244 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Q. Do you hire the commission men in the cities to 

 handle your fruit, or do you have your own men to make 

 the sales ? 



Mr. Thompson : In some cases, we ship it through the 

 commission houses. In one case, we have our own agent. 

 In some cases, the commission men will let us have cases and 

 boxes, and. if necessary, will allow us to send a man there 

 and pay him. Sometimes they will offer to pay a part, and 

 we would pay the difference ourselves. 



With Mr. Thompson's very practical and suggestive 

 address the program of the meeting was brought to a close. 



President Rogers: We usually at this time announce 

 our Standing Committees for the year, but we are not going 

 to do that to-day for I have not had sufficient time to make 

 up the list. You will be able to get the names of the mem- 

 bers on the various Standing Committees in an early issue of 

 the Connecticut Farmer. 



Has anybody anything further to bring before this meet- 

 ing at this time? If not, a motion to adjourn is in order. 



A motion to adjourn was then made, seconded and 

 passed, and at 4:40 p. m. the annual meeting of 1910 was 

 declared closed. 



It was a great meeting in every respect. With one ex- 

 ception all the varied features on the program were carried 

 out to the letter and with complete success. 



It is believed that everyone who attended the convention 

 returned home thoroughly appreciating the pleasure and pro- 

 fit thev had gained. The far-reaching results of such an 

 enthusiastic gathering can hardly be estimated and its in- 

 fluence upon the future of Connecticut fruit growing can- 

 not help but be of immense value.
