N.  Y.  State  Fruit  Growers’  Association 
The  annual  meeting  at  Rochester,  N. 
Y.,  .Tan.  5-7.  was  opened  by  President 
Frank  M.  1  trad  ley.  of  Barker.  lie  urged 
better  packing  and  marketing  methods 
and  recommended  a  strong  effort  to  in¬ 
crease  our  apple  exports  to  South 
America. 
L.  L.  Morrell,  of  Kinderhook,  spoke  on 
the  now  apple  packing  law.  Prof.  G.  W. 
Herrick,  of  Cornell  College  of  Agricul¬ 
ture,  reported  fur  the  Committee  on  Fu- 
tnmolugy;  Profs.  F.  C.  Stewart  and  P.  ,T. 
Parrott,  of  the  Geneva  station,  reported 
on  plant  diseases,  and  Prof.  Donald  Red¬ 
dick,  of  Cornell,  gave  an  illustrated  talk 
on  spraying,  especially  with  the  dust 
method.  Marc  \V.  Cole  spoke  on  "How 
to  Organize  a  Co-operative  Association," 
and  Dr.  Frank  Lattin  on  "A  Season's 
Experiences  and  Mistakes  in  Running  a 
Co-operative  Plant.”  "The  Central  Pack¬ 
ing  House,”  for  standardizing  the  fruit 
puck,  was  discussed  by  F.  S.  Welsh,  of 
the  X.  Y.  Central :  "Growing  Vinifera 
Grapes  and  Their  T’se  in  Breeding,”  by 
R.  D.  Anthony,  of  Geneva;  and  “Essen- 
lials  of  Small  Fruit  Growing,"  by  F,  I.. 
Beatty,  of  Three  Rivers,  Mich. 
II.  A.  Emerson,  of  the  State  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Foods  and  Markets,  made  an  ad¬ 
dress  on  the  auction  market  and  the  pos¬ 
sibilities  of  Rochester  as  a  business  cen¬ 
ter  for  such  an  enterprise.  The  meeting 
endorsed  the  work  of  the  Department, 
urged  Gov.  Whit  man  and  the  Legislature 
to  support  the  Department  with  adequate 
appropriations,  and  pledged  apple  ship¬ 
ments  to  the  auction. 
The  display  of  fruit  was  generally  ad¬ 
mitted  to  be  the  finest  ever  seen  in  Roek- 
estci-,  and  in  addition  there  was  an  ex¬ 
tensive  exhibit  of  machinery  and  collec¬ 
tions  of  insects  from  the  Geneva  station 
and  Cornell.

I  have  some  Cuthhcrt  raspberry 
bushes  planted  in  the  Spring  of  1914. 
They  are  about  seven  feet  high  now.  If 
I  cut  them  back  will  it  spoil  my  crop  for

Wilmington,  Mass. 
Some  growers  advocate  and  practice 
both  Summer  and  Winter  pruning,  while 
others  practice  Winter  pruning  only. 
Summer  pruning  consists  of  going  over 
the  patch  several  times  during  the  early 
part  of  Summer  and  pinching  out  the 
top  of  all  the  strong  growing  caues  24 
to  30  inches  above  the  ground.  This 
stopping  causes  the  cane  to  throw  out 
strong  side  shoots,  and  also  causes  a 
more  sturdy  growth  of  the  main  stem, 
thus  making  artificial  support  <>l  any
