 F. R., who constitute the firm of T. R. 

 Norman & Sons, of Painesville, O., vis-

HEABINGS ON FBEIGHT RATES. 



The hearings taking place before the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission in re- 

 gard to the changes in rates and regula- 

 tions in perishable protective tariff No. 

 1 are attracting the attention of nurs- 

 erymen. While the increases proposed 

 are primarily aimed at fruit shippers, 

 there are, nevertheless, phases of the 

 investigation which will affect the 

 freight rates on nurser^ stock. The in- 

 vestigation, known as docket 10664, has 

 already been taken up at Los Angeles, 

 Portland and Denver. The principal 

 hearings are at Chicago, set for July 30, 

 and at New York September 2. At At- 

 lanta, Ga,, and New Orleans hearings 

 are set for September 11 and 18 respect- 

 ively. 



President Moon, of the A. A. N., has 

 asked A. H. Hill, of Dundee, 111., and 

 other nurserymen to appear at the Chi- 

 cago hearing. Secretary Sizemore will 

 probably be in attendance there also. 



A. A. N. BELEASES COUNSEL. 



May Have Executive Secretary. 



While amply recognizing the credit 

 due Curtis Nye Smith"^flt his work in 

 19liB, with, the help of Ex-President 

 Mayhew, in keeping off embargoes of 

 nursery stock during the war, the execu- 



tive committee, meeting at the close of 

 the Chicago convention, came to the de- 

 cision that, now that the danger of siTch' 

 embargo is removed and'QuarantiU'e No.^ 

 37 is in force, there is less need, for liiifl 

 services than formerly. He was there- 

 fore released by the association. ■ The 

 credit and collection Wreau, which he- 

 so successfully conducted, will t»e, pro- ■ 

 vided for as soon as arrangements can 

 be completed. 



The unexpected action of the nursery- 

 men in taking over the market develop- 

 ment bureau as a department of the 

 association placed a responsibility upon 

 the association for the management of 

 the bureau which it had not before had 

 to assume. 



The convention in Chicago also sought 

 the aid of the federal government in se- 

 curing crop reports, upon which nursery- 

 men might more intelligently propagate 

 and plant their stock. Legislative mat- 

 ters in general have to be handled, and 

 these, it was felt, could be looked after 

 by an executive secretary, capable of 

 managing the affairs of the association 

 and the market development bureau, as 

 well as developing new activities for the
