ment will signify by saying "Aye." Contrary minds, "No." 

 It is passed. 



President Rogers: Would you like to remark 

 still further on the resolution as amended? If not, all hi 

 favor of this resolution as amended say "Aye." Contrary 

 minds, "Xo." It is passed. 



Mr. Farnham, I believe, has a resolution at this time. 



Mr. P'arnham : 



Resohed : That the Connecticut Pomological Society 

 be, and hereby is, authorized to communicate with the people 

 in charge of the proposed standard barrel law, known in the 

 House of Representatives as Bill No. 17,822, and recommend 

 that it be amended so that it shall also include the standardi- 

 zation of berry baskets as well as all fruit containers manu- 

 factured and used in all of our several states ; and be it 

 further 



Resolved: That the Secretary of this Association for- 

 ward these resolutions to the Chairman of the Committee in 

 charge of the bill at Washington, and that our Senators and 

 Representatives be asked to co-operate in the passage of the 

 bill. 



Mr. Gold: I second that resolution. 



President Rogers : I think that is a good resolution. I 

 think we should have some standard in regard to our pack- 

 ages here in the state. I find in shipping apples out of the 

 state that almost always you are obliged to have a standard 

 barrel. I think if we were obliged to have a standard bar- 

 rel it will be a good thing. I believe we should have stan- 

 dard packages, not only barrels, but berrv baskets, and this 

 resolution is right along in that line. If there is any one here 

 who would like to remark on the resolution, we will be glad 

 to hear from them. If not. I will put it to a vote. All 

 those in favor of this resolution sav "Aye." Contrary minds, 

 "No." It is adopted. 



Secretary Miles: Another resolution, Mr. President. 



Resolved: That the Legislative Committee of this So- 

 ciety draft and present to the next General Assembly a bill 

 or bills which will have to do with the extermination of wild 

 deer or of confining the deer in special state tracts.
