 caused some discussion. 



The speaker of the evening was H. F. 

 Thompson, ]>rofessor of market gar- 

 dening at the Massachusetts Agricul- 

 tural College, Amherst, and also in 

 charge of the Lexington experimental 

 market garden field station. Mr. 

 Thompson, who is an able speaker, told 

 of the work being done at Lexington 

 and discussed many market garden 

 problems. He favored more practical 

 training for college students and said 

 the aim of all agricultural and horticul- 

 tural students should be to get real, 

 [)ractical, as well as scientific, ideas. 



Vegetables must play a bigger part 

 as our country grows, said lie, as vege- 

 tables contiiin the necessary vitamiues 

 and more of them can be i)roduced pt'r 

 acre than any other crop. He went on 

 to say that at the Lexington field sta 

 tion special studies were l)eing made 

 of eggj)lant disease, which it had been 

 found persisted in the soil for eight 

 years, and that carrot, cucumber and 

 other veget.able diseases were jilso be- 

 ing earnestly studied; also sucli pests 

 as red spider, the scjuasli borer, etc., 

 as well as breeding cucumbers for high 

 production. He said that in studying 

 asparagus yiehis, all the stalks from 

 1,0(10 selected Martha Washington 

 {ilants had been carefully weighed and 

 graded, and specially fine plants se- 

 lected and removed, to see if produc- 

 tion would prove inherent. 



The seed problem was a most im- 

 I)ortant one, said he, and the cpiality 

 of seed was of the greatest im]){)rtance. 

 Tests on carrots showed one strain 

 would give all malformed and unsal.able 

 roots and others an average of .')00 to 

 8(10 btisliels of excellent roots per acre. 

 With tomatoes, seed selection also made 

 an enormous difference, said Mr. 

 Thompson, and he ojiined that fifty 

 per cent of all troubles started in seed 

 beds. Standardization of type and ini- 

 ]irovement in (|uality were as much de- 

 sired by seedsmen as growers, but seeds- 

 men could not always trace the seed 

 to its source. Dr. W. W. Tracy said 

 tliat the war had dealt the European 

 seed inilustry a blow from which it 

 would take thirty vears fo recover. 

 Thousands of acres of seeds were now 

 grown in the west and of some staples 

 like onions, tons of seeds two or three 

 years old were now held in stock, said
