fA meeting of the directors of the Ont. Vege- 

 table Growers' Assn. was held in Toronto, March 

 5. Those present were Messrs. F. F. Reeves, 

 G. Svme, Jr.; A. Shuter, R. Lankin, J. Rush 

 and T. Delworth, of the Toronto branch; 

 -John Dougal, of Tecumseh branch; A. E. 

 Hifor, of the Ojibwa branch; T. Wistow, of 

 he London branch; S. A. Blunden, of Sarnia 

 ranch; A. M. Malcolm, of Scotland branch; 

 McMeans, of Guelph branch; R. H. Lewis, 

 Hamilton branch; R. J. Bushell, of Kings- 

 Dn branch, and the stc-treas.. 

 The sec.-treas. annoimced that since the last 

 eeting, branches had been formed at Ojibwa 

 nd Guelph, and that the growers around Lon- 

 on had decided to affiliate with the Ont. Assn. 

 eports of the work done by the various branches 

 "were presented by the different delegates and 

 were of a very encouraging nature. The elec- 

 tion of oflficers resulted as follows: Pres., R. J. 

 Bushell; 1st v. -pres., T. Wistow; 2nd v. -pres., 

 R. H. Lewis; sec.-treas., H. B. Cowan; execu- 

 tive committee, F. F. Reeves, Geo. Svme, jr.; 

 R. H. Lewis, T. Delworth, R. J. Bushell and H 

 B. Cowan. 



A further discussion on the tariff situation 

 took place. The conclusion reached was that 

 everything possible had been done to secure; a 

 more favorable tariff, and that as the efforts had 

 largely failed, the Assn. should endeavor again 

 to have an appraiser appointed. The executive

committee were instructed to have a deputation 

 wait on the Dom Govt, to urge the appointment 

 of an appraiser for Ontario. It was decided to 

 engage crop correspondents during 1907, as had 

 been done during 1906. The executive com- 

 mittee was authorized to again purchase bulle- 

 tins from the various U.S. Expt. Stations that 

 might be of interest to the members of the Assn. 



Mr. Delworth presented a report of the com- 

 mittee that had attended the meeting of the 

 Expt. Union at Guelph. The report stated that 

 the committee had decided that the experiments 

 conducted by the Expt. Union would be of prac- 

 tically no value to market gardeners, as they 

 were not conducted by experienced vegetable 

 growers. The committee recommended that 

 the Assn. should endeavor to conduct a few- 

 experiments on its own account in connection 

 with the different branches. 



The executive committee was requested to 

 find what work for the benefit of the vegetable 

 growers is to be conducted at the Agricultural 

 College and Experimental Farm this year. 



It was decided to offer prizes for competition 

 among the secretaries of the branch assns., to 

 see which of them could present the best reports 

 at the end of the year upon the work done by 

 their branches, including the holding of the
