 encourage fruit growers throughout the

 otherwise rid their orchards of San Jose

 urges the society to make this a special

MEETING AT DALLAS. 



A midwinter meeting of the South- 

 western Association of Nurserymen was 

 called by John S. Kerr, of Sherman, Tex., 

 president, Friday, January 20, at the 

 Dallas Chamber of Commerce. The as- 

 sociation covers Texas, Arkansas, Louis- 

 iana, Oklahoma and New Mexico. 



The meeting was called for the purpose 

 of discussing a number of important 

 business matters, including cooperative 

 methods of disposing of surplus nursery 

 stock during the year. 



Nurserymen were advised to expect a 

 demand which would exceed their supply 

 should financial conditions improve, in a 

 paper prepared by Jim Parker, of Tecum- 

 sch, Okla. 



Approximately twenty-five members 

 were present. Mr. Parker's paper was 

 read by President Kerr, George F. Ver- 

 halen, secretary, taking the chair while 

 the paper was being read. 



SIZEMORE AT KANSAS CITY. 



Reviews Claim Situation. 



Speaking before the Western Associa- 

 tion of Nurseivmen, which met in Kan- 

 sas City, Mo., January 25 and 26, 1922, 

 Charles Sizcmore, secretary and traf- 

 fic manager of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen, related a few facts con- 

 cerning tlie Idss, damage and overcharge 

 claims and old acrounts, and gave a gen- 

 eral review of the freight and express 

 situation. Mr. iSizemore said that up to 

 tlie time of making his report, $0,523.87, 

 representing railroad and express, loss 

 and damage and overcharge claims, had 

 been collected. The commission on tliese 

 claims placed to the credit of the asso- 

 ciation was .$l,f)03.1C. His intimation 

 was, however, that there were nearly 

 $15,000 of railroad claims still pending 

 and about $10,000 of this amount had 

 been ])laced with attorneys for suit. Old 

 accounts collected to date, he said, 

 amount to $7,150.27 and the revenue to 

 the association on these is $815. CI and 

 about $20.(tOU of old accounts are still 

 in the hands of the secretary for collec- 

 tion. 



It is the desire of the secretary to 

 impress upon the entire membership the 

 advisability of watching its freight 

 bills closely, especially the weight on 

 carload shii>ments. Recently in check- 

 ing the bills of a member, the secretary 

 found an instance where a small refrig- 

 erator containing seventeen cases of im- 

 port stock was billed at 55,000 pounds. 

 Knowing this to be an impossibility, 

 claim was filed on the basis of the mini- 

 mum of 16,00i». Later investigation de- 

 veloped the fact that the actual weight 

 in the car was ^13,500 pounds, making 

 an overcharge of nearly $200 on this 

 one car.
