REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION 

 E. A. TuTTLE, Chairman, Eastport, New York 



Your committee on legislation submits the following report: 



First. We recommend that an effort be made to secure from 

 this session of the Legislature the necessary legislation and appropria- 

 tion for the establishment at the State College of Agriculture at 

 Cornell University of suitable buildings and equipment to carry on 

 investigations, experiments, and demonstrations under glass and 

 in the field in the interest of vegetable growing and the control of 

 diseases and insect pests. 



Second. We recommend that support be given in the Legislature 

 and elsewhere to all efforts to secure proper and effective supervision 

 over marketing and particularly over sales by commission men. 



Third. We recommend that a "Markets Commission" be estab- 

 lished to investigate conditions, hear complaints, and apply remedies, 

 with powers similar to those possessed by the Public Service Com- 

 mission. 



Fourth. We recommend that necessary legislation be secured for 

 the establishment of Producers' and Consumers' Markets, with State 

 aid, where conditions are such that private capital cannot, or will not, 

 give adequate facilities and a "square deal." 



Fifth. We recommend the establishment of a general parcel 

 post to aid producers to deal directly with consumers. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Ezra A. Tuttle, Chairman.
