Jink 2!t, 1!»2l' 



Massic, MiiHiciii)olis, Minn.; J. L. Hunt, 

 Cambridge, N. Y., and h. H. Vaughan, 

 Chicago. 



The membership committee for the 

 coining year will be as follows: H. G. 

 Hastings, Atlanta, (la.; K. !■'. Mangels 

 <lorf, liirmingham, Ala.; (i. R. Green, 

 Chicago; Burnett Landreth, Bristol, Pa.,

 . In the wind-up of the convention the 

 association elected S. F. Willard, of 

 Wethersfield, Conn., to honorary mem- 

 bership and a telegram informing liim 

 of this honor was at once sent. 



Directly after the newly elected pres- 

 ident liad taken the chair, Watson F. 

 Woodruff, of Orange, Conn., on behalf 

 of the society, presented the retiring 

 ])resi(lent with a watch, accompanying 

 the presentation with some clever re- 

 marks, in which he stated that some 

 "had come to Chicago for a good time, 

 while still others brought their wives." 



Wednesday Meeting. 



But much had hapj)ened in the days 

 .iust preceding this final session. Ac- 

 count of the 0})ening session, June 21, 

 and the garden bureau reports were 

 contained in last week's issue of The 

 Keview. Illustrating the reports on the 

 bureau's work, a 12-minute motion 

 picture was shown illustrating the edu- 

 cational advantages of the cinema; al- 

 though the subject of the picture shown 

 was "dairy farming," still it was at 

 once apparent that gardening could be 

 just as readily taught the public. 



Francis C. Stokes thanked all those 



firms that had contributed to the Kus- 



sian relief seed donation and promised 



his aid in case any firm should desire 



wto contribute more seeds. 



J. H. Burdett, director of the national 

 garden bureau, read a letter from R. E. 

 Patterson, of Des Moines, la., which 

 showed how the seedsmen of that city 

 had profited by cooi)eratively advertising 

 to sell the garden idea, primarily. At 

 a cost to each firm of $.19.6.'), the letter 

 stated, every individu.'il firm conceded 

 that it had jtrofited as much as if it had 

 advertised individually at $49G. The 

 firms of Des Moines will continue this 

 advertising in 1923. 



Edgar C. Brown, of the Department 

 of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, 

 pointed out that the department was 

 studying the importation of seeds from 

 all angles, including all the proposed 

 methods of marking. After much de 

 liberation, the Department of Agricul- 

 ture lias decided that the best policy 

 is to keeji on working from all sides 

 until some wise, progressive action can 

 be taken. 



Wednesday evening. June LM, as 

 guests (if the (Jhicago seedsmen, a whole 

 boatl(-.a<l of the visitors assembled at 

 the ("l:irk street pier, embarked on the 

 Columbia and sailed north along the 

 lake shore in a circular course to the 

 municijial i>iei-, where a landing was 

 made for d.-incing. In spite of the chill 

 Lake Michigan breezes, all concurred in 

 voting this a deliglitt'ul evening.
