cents per quart, and I am glad it is so, as every good picker 

 earns what they get. 



I believe the future for the grower of strawberries is as 

 bright as the present, and perhaps more so. There are 

 improvements in cultivation and marketing and new varieties 

 are being introduced that produce larger crops than seemed 

 possible a few years ago. The more there are grown, the 

 more demand. There may be a large crop some year and 

 come a glut in the market, but that seldom happens. As a

 grower should strive to do — grow good fruit. 



Secretary Miles: I have a matter of business I would 

 like to propose before we take up the next matter. One year 

 ago the Society passed a resolution that we should have a 

 finance committee, and we found that committee quite useful 

 during the year, and I would suggest that we have such 

 committee again this coming year, and will introduce the fol-

Resolved, That a Finance Committee of three be appointed 

 by the President and Vice-President, who shall as soon as 

 practicable after each annual meeting make an estimate of 

 the receipts of the Society for the coming year, and from 

 these estimated receipts make such appropriations for the . 

 various departments of the Society's w^ork as in their judg-

 priations shall not exceed 85 per cent, of the Society's esti- 

 mated income. Also that all bills shall be approved by the 

 chairman of the finance committee before payment of the 

 same by the Treasurer. 



This resolution was duly seconded and adopted by vote 

 of the Society. 



A Member: I wish there were time here to discuss one 

 phase of this subject of selling fruits and vegetables. For 

 instance, I do a little fruit and market gardening near the 

 city, and there are hundreds of Jews that go out into the 

 country districts and buy produce, and I have met them here 

 in the city selling sweet corn, for instance, for seven cents
