N. Y. State Horticultural Society 
Part I, 
The annual meeting was held at Expo¬ 
sition Park, Rochester, the second week 
in January. The attendance was not as 
large as last year, probably not over an 
average of 700 at each session. Disap¬ 
pointment was expressed by members of 
the society that the meeting was not held 
in Convention Ilall. which has been the 
home of the old Western New York Hor¬ 
ticultural Society for many years. Con¬ 
vention Hall is in the center of the city, 
is near to all hotels, and has many advan¬ 
tages which the fruit growers appreciate. 
The best attended meetings have been held 
in Convention Hall. In many ways this 
was a good meeting, but there was found 
to be a desire in a faction of the society 
to place its administration with a new 
set of men. When the nominating com¬ 
mittee presented the names, T. E. Cross 
and Roy B. McPherson for president and 
secretary, F. W. Cornwall and Samuel 
Fraser were nominated from the floor for 
these offices and written ballots called 
for. A long time was spent in discussion 
and balloting. The result was the elec¬ 
tion of T. E. Cross president and Roy B. 
McPherson for secretary-treasurer. 
The Eastern meeting of (he society will 
be held at Poughkeepsie, February 9-11. 
The exhibit of fruit growers’ and farm¬ 
ers’ supplies was a great feature of the 
meeting. Machines, brought to seemingly 
the highest perfection, were exhibited for 
doing about all the operations on any 
farm. The exhibit of apples was not ex¬ 
tensive, but unusually fine. As usual, 
rhe largest exhibit was by the New York 
State Experiment Station. The desires of- 
the fruit growers were expressed in the 
following resolutions, stated in brief: 
That the expenses of the officers of the 
New York State Horticultural Society be 
paid when attending all official meetings 
and conferences; that no amendment be 
made to the constitution and by-laws of 
the society without a 30-day notification 
to all the members; that all bills against 
the soeietv shall be approved by its pres¬ 
ident ; that the New York State spraying 
fund used by the New York State Experi¬ 
ment Station be continued another year: 
that the daylight saving law be repealed ; 
that laws be ameuded so that all hunters 
and trappers must obtain permission of 
the owners of the premises to hunt and 
trap thereon. 
President II. E. Wellmans in his ad¬ 
dress said that the resignation of E. C. 
Gillett, former secretary, was because of ill 
health. He believes the time has not come 
to employ a secretary who will spend all 
his time working for the society, because 
of insufficient, funds. He recommended 
that the expenses of the officers of this 
society be paid when attending meetings. 
| and that the officers be authorized to at¬ 
tend conferences with expenses. 
He believed that railroads should be 
compelled to furnish ears to ship all fruits. 
The loss has been great because of lack 
of transportation facilities. It is ex¬ 
pected to take up again co-operative buy¬ 
ing of fruit growers’ supplies. lie recom¬ 
mended that some means be taken to pre¬ 
vent the pilfering of fruit by motorists. 
He advised that the New York State ap¬ 
ple law be enforced. 
Following a long debate over recom¬ 
mendations offered, in the report of the 
transportation committee, of which E. 
IT. Anderson of Rochester is chairman, 
the body voted to accept the report. The 
recommendation was one disapproving the 
methods of administration of refrigerator 
car pooling, and working an unnecessary 
hardship on some sections of the State, 
and urging the society to prevent a recur¬ 
rence of such pooling ; that transportation 
companies handling large quantifies des¬ 
ignate some representative to whom the 
shipper of perishables may look for def¬ 
inite assistance. 
A demand for the prompt icing and re¬ 
icing of cars in Western New York was 
asked for. and that shippers lend their 
co-operation to the transportation com¬ 
panies bv loading freight cars as nearly 
as possible to capacity consistent with 
the nature of the commodity, effecting the 
loading and unloading of cars with the 
greatest possible dispatch, and by refrain¬ 
ing from placing orders for cars over and 
above their immediate needs. 
“Agriculture and transportation are the 
two fundamental industries of the coun¬ 
try. and they are interdependent,” said 
Mr Anderson. “One cannot thrive with¬ 
out the other. Inerea*ed production means 
increased tonnage, and increased tonnage 
should mean improved transportation ser¬ 
vice. We believe that much can be done 
to develop automobile trucks for hauling 
freight short distances, hut that the bulk 
of the perishables produced in New York 
State must depend upon railroad trans¬ 
portation to reach the markets.” 
Mr. Anderson declared that the diffi¬ 
culties of both shipper and transportation 
companies could best be solved by co¬ 
operative efforts and suggested that the 
officials of the society make an effort to 
meet with the transportation officials of 
the railroad companies to talk over prob¬ 
lems of mutual interest. He said that the 
transportation companies wore entitled to 
sufficient revenue to pay for the cost of 
hauling commodities to market, and they 
should be encouraged to provide adequiite 
equipment for the movement of an in¬ 
creasing amount of fruit for the next few 
years. w. it. J.
