FRUIT GROWERS AT POUGHKEEPSIE, f 
T HE eastern section of the New York 
State Fruit Growers’ Association 
met in annual session in Poughkeepsie 
last month, with an attendance of nearly 
300. Strong resolutions were passed rela¬ 
tive to the apple grading and packing 
law and the proposed repeal of the Foods 
and Markets statute. In the absence of 
the president of the association, Mr. L. 
L. Morrell of Kinderhook was called upon 
to preside. lie referred in his opening 
remarks to the new apple grading law. 
He deplored the idea of repealing the 
measure and in face of all the opposition 
to it he declared it the best law for the 
fruit grower that had ever been enacted 
in his behalf. In closing his remarks 
he presented the association with a gavel 
made to represent in miniature a stand¬ 
ard apple barrel, with the inscription on 
one side “Dedicated to an honest pack.” 
and on the other were the initials of the 
donor. 
The first day’s speakers were Prof. P. 
J. Parrott and Dr. E. P. Felt, State 
Entomologist, with Prof. Hedrick of Ge¬ 
neva presiding over the question box. 
Prof. Parrott described the life history 
and operations of insects affecting the 
production and grading of fruit, choosing 
the rosy aphis as a type of the insect 
he was describing. Dr. Felt read a paper 
on the red bug and told of its ravages 
and recommended treatment for it in 
spraying with tobacco preparations, soap 
and lime-sulphur wash. Mare W. Cole of 
Albany discussed the apple grading law 
and told of some of its faults and sug¬ 
gested remedies. Prof. Hedrick outlined 
some of the latest teachings in fruit 
growing. Prof. II. J. Wheeler discussed 
cover crops. George A. Drew of Con¬ 
necticut discussed with much interest to 
his hearers some of the most profitable 
varieties of apples. lie favored the Mc¬ 
Intosh, but the Northern Spy was pre¬ 
ferred by Mr. Morrell and O. M. Taylor, 
who followed Mr. Drew. A. C. King of 
Trumansburg gave a good talk on peach 
growing. 
It was left to .T. .1. Dillon to stir up 
the middlemen in bis discussion of the 
proposed repeal of the Foods and Markets 
law. He described wlnit the Department 
was trying to do and asked the support 
of the association in his work and their 
opposition to the repeal of the law, which 
he said was as much for the interest of 
the consumer as the producer. 
The association adopted the following 
resolutions: 
That it is the sense of the association 
that the Department of Foods and Mar¬ 
kets should be retained, as it is a move in 
the right direction and is in the hands of 
men who will give fair and honest ad¬ 
ministration of the Department; that 
it will he of great aid to the fruit 
grower in the proper and economical 
handling of his crop and will prove of 
benefit to all farmers. 
Thai the association endorse the 
amendment to the apple packing law 
known as the Wilson hill. (The amend¬ 
ments provide that there shall be a 
Grade A apple standard, with an allow¬ 
ance of five per cent, for defects to re¬ 
place the old No. 1 class; a Grade B 
apple, which allows only 15 per cent, 
for all defects and wipes out all color 
lines and replaces the old No. 2 class, 
and then there is established an un¬ 
graded class, which takes the place of 
the “unclassified” class and includes 
everything not in Grades A and B.) 
The fruit display was the best ever 
known in this end of the State at any 
meeting of the association. The exhibit 
of the State Experiment Station was 
especially worthy of commendation. W. 
S. Tea tor of Red Hook and T. E. Cross 
of Lagrangeville judged the exhibits. 
The first prize for largest and best dis¬ 
play went to Charles R. Taber of Milton, 
also the best five varieties for market; 
best five varieties for dessert, George R. 
Schauber of Ballston Lake, and best five 
varieties for cooking, Graham Huyd & 
Son of Clintondale. There was a long 
list of single plate prizes. The annual 
banquet on the evening of the second 
day of the convention was enjoyed by 
nearly 300. 
They were two days out, and the 
young bride was dreadfully seasick. 
“Henry, dear,” she moaned, “if I should 
die and they bury me here, you’ll come 
sometime and plant flowers on my grave, 
won’t you?”—Boston Transcript.

of a large power outfit. Wearing parts are of solid bronze. Large steel 
air chamber gives uniform pressure. Easily adjusted and cleaned. Fits
