periments by itself. Its recommendations are 

 as follows: "That, inasmuch as no way seems 

 to be open to make the work of the experimental 

 union of more value to vegetable growers, that 

 this ass'n. take such steps as may be necessary 

 to conduct a series of exijeriments in vegetable 

 growing among its own members, and that the 

 direction of such shall be under the management 

 and sujiervision of the board of directors." 



The following resolution is submitted in the 

 report to serve as a basis upon which to outline 

 the work: "That each local branch be requested 

 to appoint from among its members one or more 

 persons — the number to depend upon the mem- 

 ijership — to conduct experiments for that dis- 

 trict. Each experimenter to be supplied by the 

 assn. With the necessary seed or fertilizers, or 

 both as the case may be, and paid a sum, to be 

 decided upon, for conducting the experiments 

 and for sending a written report of same to the 

 sec. of the assn." The report suggests also that 

 about 15 experimenters would cover the field 

 for the 10 local branches of the assn., to be 

 distributed as follows: Ottawa, Kingston, 

 Toronto, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Brantford, 

 Chatham, Sarnia, Tecumseh, and Scotland. It 

 is suggested, also, that, if funds will permit, 

 some competent person should be appointed 

 to visit these experimental plots at some time 

 during the season to inspect them and to send 

 in a written report of their condition."
