growers. Growing costs could be de- 

 creased by plantings made in Wiscon- 

 sin, Washington and other states where 

 rainfall is depended upon, but do we 

 canners consider it real economy to have 

 a product so necessary to our operations 

 grown under these conditions? Since 

 many canners are growing some seed in 

 Wisconsin the majority favor seedsmen 

 growing some seed in the west under 

 irrigation so as to provide seed in such 

 years as their own and the efforts of 

 other seedsmen who do not grow in the 

 west fail to produce supplies in abun- 

 dance."

IOWA VEGETABLE MEN MEET. 



Brave Blizzard at Des Moines. 



The vegetable growers of Iowa this 

 year had their annual meeting at Des 

 Moines, during a blizzard that snowed 

 in railroads and country roads and at 

 the crisis of the coal strike, when trains 

 were being annulled and when people 

 were afraid to leave home because they 

 might have trouble in getting back. 

 Nevertheless, the discussions were of a 

 high order — by practical men and of 

 value to business growers. 



A number of members stayed home to 

 watch the fires and the fuel supply for 

 their vegetable houses, and the conven- 

 tion was much pleased to receive word 

 from Chairman J. H. Rice, of the fuel 

 committee of the Vegetable Growers' 

 Association of America, that he had suc- 

 ceeded in getting a ruling that vege- 

 table houses be classed as essential in- 

 dustries in regard to fuel supply. 



Officers Elected. 



T. J. Gabriel, of Des Moines, was 

 elected president of the association; 

 Sam Kennedy, Jr., of Clear Lake, vice- 

 president; Lindley Hoopes, of Musca- 

 tine, second vice-president, and D. H. 

 Culver, of Clear Lake, treasurer, while 

 C. L. Fitch, of Ames, who has been sec- 

 retary since the organization of the as- 

 sociation with the exception of his two 

 years with the army, was reelected sec- 

 retary. 



Features of the meeting were a group 

 of papers by Des Moines market gar- 

 deners on getting the earliest vege- 

 tables; a discussion on the growing and 

 storing of sweet potatoes and squashes;
