Buffalo, Angola and Syracuse. It is probable that many others 

 will be held next year. This was the contribution of 1914. 



The prime work for 1915, which is now under way, is the es- 

 tablishment of a crop report service for the benefit of members. 

 Sheets are sent out to all members and these are filled out and 

 sent in to headquarters. This work is under the able and ener- 

 getic leadership of Professor W. B. Xissley of the Long Island 

 School of Aori culture at Farminodale.

 Association, State Fair, 1913 



The Association is also engaged in active work looking toward 

 favorable legislation, better transportation conditions, more and 

 stronger local organizations of vegetable men, better service for 

 growers from colleges, experiment stations and other institutions, 

 and seeking recognition for the interests of the grower in the 

 reorganization of the marketing system which is now in progress. 

 Through the influence of the association very marked improve- 

 ment has been brought about in the conditions governing the ex- 

 hibiting of vegetables at the State Fair. The value of the pre- 

 mium list has been doubled, and it is expected that very much 

 better quarters will be available for these displays in the coming 

 year.
