IOWA SEEDSMEN MEET. 



Officers Elected. 



The Iowa Seed Dealers' Association 

 held its annual meeting at Shenandoah, 

 la., June 12, and elected the following 

 officers: 



President — Henry Field, of Shenan- 

 doah. 



Vice-president — E. M. Cole, of Pella. 



Secretary — J. F. Sinn, of Clarinda. 



Treasurer — J. T. Hamilton, of Cedar 

 Bapide. 



Executive committee — G. H. Cum- 

 mins, of Sioux City; M. Kirtzwell, of 

 Des Moines; J. F. Sinn, of Clarinda; M. 

 L, Webster, of Independence, and C. G. 

 Owen, of Council Bluffs. 



Legislative committee — C. M. Page, 

 of Des Moines; H. A. John, of Sioux 

 City, and J. T. Hamilton, of Cedar 

 Rapids. 



Membership committee — A. M. El- 

 dridge, of Shenandoah; William Grote, 

 of Council Bluffs, and J. E. Hoopes, of 

 Muscatine. 



Business Session. 



The seedsmen gathered for business 

 in the Elks' club house at 10:30 a. m., 

 but found themselves a little handi- 

 capped by the absence of President Mel. 

 L. Webster, who telegraphed his inabil- 

 ity to come on account of the illness of 

 •his wife, and of the secretary, who 

 missed his train and did not arrivje until 

 after dinner. Vice-president Field occu- 

 pied the chair and did it so well that he 

 was elected president for the ensuing 

 year. Questions of transportation, par- 

 cel post, express rates, postage, weights 

 and measures, and the laws came up for 

 discussion. After a long discussion the 

 association put itself on record as favor- 

 ing the substitution of weights for dry 

 measures, although there was a wide 

 division on this point. 



Prof. W. D. Hughes, of the state col- 

 lege at Ames, talked interestingly on 

 alfalfa, and the other speakers were not 

 behind him in interestingness. 



When the meeting had adjourned, a 

 dozen automobiles took the visitors on 

 a tour of the town. At the test gardens 

 of the H, FHeld Seed Co. a stop was 

 made for inspection, and after another 

 ride the party went through the pack- 

 ing houses of the Mt. Arbor Nurseries 

 and D. S. Lake's Shenandoah Nurseries. 

 Supper was served on the grounds of 

 A. M. Eldridge 's residence by employees 

 of the Field Seed Co. 



Those Present. 



A good attendance from all parts of 

 the state made the meeting a lively one.
