170 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Storrs Experiment Station. He spoke in hearty endorsement 

 of the plan of holding field meetings and believed they were 

 capable of doing great good. 



Mr. C. D. Jarvis, the new assistant in horticnlture at the 

 Connecticut Agricultural College, told of his recent field of 

 work in New York State among the fruit growers and what 

 he hoped to do in Connecticut. 



At this point, inquiries as to the present outlook for the 

 peach crop started an interesting discussion along that line 

 and brought out some figures from leading peach growers 

 present, which indicated a very large crop of fruit in the State. 

 With favorable weather from now on a heavy crop of fine 

 quality would be harvested. 



State Forester Hawes gave some interesting information 

 about the work being done to improve the forests of the State. 

 Others who addressed the meeting briefly were T. L. Brown 

 of Lyme, formerly a large fruit grower in Michigan ; N. H. 

 Sherwood of Southport, and N. S. Piatt of New Haven. 



The speaking was then brought to a close and most of the 

 company, which now numbered over 100, took special trolley 

 cars for a trip to the Station's new trial grounds located in 

 Mt. Carmel, a few miles away. 



With this was rounded out a day of unusual pleasure and 

 profit, and each visitor voiced his thanks to the Station officials 

 for having given us the o|)portunity for so pleasant an outing. 



Those \vh(^ sta^'ed at lionie will ne\'er know how much they 

 missed !
