 other, a New Englander, writes: "I am 

 in sympathy with the effort to raise the 

 standard of membership and increase 

 the value of the association, so that it 

 will mean something," and he enclosed 

 a check for $65 as his fee. Such dec- 

 larations furnish illustrations of unself-

The attendance at the forty-first an- 

 nual convention at Milwaukee, June 28 

 to 30, ought to be a large and inspiring 

 one. The new constitution will be fur- 

 ther discussed after its first year of 

 operation, and the program will include 

 items of most vital interest to the 

 trade. The management of Hotel Wis- 

 consin has been liberal in its proposals 

 and members should write early for 

 rooms. 



Not many days remain in which to 

 send in memberships and, busy as mem- 

 bers doubtless are, I urge them to take 

 the few minutes necessary to attend to 

 this item of business, and thus facili- 

 tate the work of preparing the badge

BEN DAVIS LEADS. 



There are more Ben Davis apples than 

 any other, according to the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. Ben Davis last 

 year produced 14.5 per cent of the total 

 crop. Baldwin ranked second, with 10.9 

 per cent, and Winesap third, with 7.3 

 pe- t?ent of the total crop. Of the total 

 crop produced, about sixty-five per cent 

 was sold, varying by varieties from 77.7 

 per cent of the crop of Tompkins King 

 to 42.7 per cent of Limbertwig sold by 

 producers.
