Eastern Meeting New York Horticultural 
Society 
Part I. 
The Poughkeepsie meeting was called 
to order by the new president, T, E. 
Cross, of Lagrangeville, N. Y. The key¬ 
note of his address was a plea for better 
grading and packing and a uniform sys¬ 
tem of branding and marketing through 
co-operative organization. His address in 
part was as follows : 
‘‘There is nothing wrong with New 
York apples. They were noted for their 
superior quality before an apple tree was 
ever planted for commercial purposes in 
the Pacific Coast States, and yet to-day 
fancy apples from the West in bushel 
boxes bring practically as much per box 
as a barrel of New York State fruit 
brings. It is humiliating to admit that 
the apple growers on the Pacific Coast 
are better business men than we in New 
York ; but admit it we must, for instead 
of holding the markets we had we have 
lost them, and our package and contents 
as well are looked upon with disfavor by 
discriminating buyers. There is really no 
more reason why apples from the coast, 
’with freight costs of one dollar or more 
per bushel, should be sold in our Eastern 
markets than _ that Colorado potatoes 
should be sold in Aroostook Co., Me. 
“While on the subject of Western ap¬ 
ples let me state that we Eastern grow¬ 
ers are not going to enjoy the benefit of 
the heavy freight rate from the coast long. 
I am informed that a fleet of seven or 
eight swift steamers is being fitted with 
the very latest refrigerating appliances 
and will be in readiness next year to bring 
apples through the Panama Canal at very 
much reduced rates. 
“I understand that there many thou¬ 
sand young trees just coming into bear¬ 
ing in the West that will largely increase 
their production, and there are millions of 
young apple trees soon coming into bear¬ 
ing along the mountain slopes from Penn¬ 
sylvania to the Carolinas. Unless we 
adopt the uniform standard pack, better 
grading, putting more color into our fruit 
and reduce the present high cost between 
producer and consumer we will be unable 
to secure and hold the markets that be¬ 
long to us. 
“The present effort to establish co¬ 
operative packing and selling will, if suc¬ 
cessful over the entire State, correct many 
of our present unbusiness-like practices. 
Are we going to pack our fancy apnlos in 
barrels mixed with the lower grades for 
fear the lower grades will not sell so 
well? Are we. each one of us, going to 
continue to think our apples and our pack 
are the best apples and the best pack? I 
hope not.” 
. A special evening session was held to 
discuss Hudson River co-operative pack¬ 
ing, and judging from what was said and 
from the reports made at this meeting the 
coming year will see considerable prog¬ 
ress. The counties on both sides of the 
river are planning on having one or more 
associations in operation the coming sea¬ 
son. 
Prof. W. R. Rees spoke on “The Rela¬ 
tion of the Central Packing Association 
to the New York State Industries.” 
“Standardization.” ho said, “must pre¬ 
cede everything else, and then there must 
■be no undue haste in scrambling for im¬ 
mediate cash results, as the organization, 
if it is to be a permanent and beneficial 
one. must have time to grow slowly and 
steadily. One of the important consid¬ 
erations of the co-operative plan is the 
relief it gives the fruit grower from pack¬ 
ing in the busy harvesting season, when 
he needs all his forces in gathering the 
apples from the trees. Tf there is a cen¬ 
tral packing house the fruit can be taken 
from the trees and immediately conveyed 
to this packing station, where the sorting, 
grading and packing is done. One thing 
to he remembered and guarded against 
in the erection of a central plant is that 
of having a building large enough to 
accommodate the number of members in 
the association, as otherwise there is 
either a crowding together of the fruit of 
the various members, or somebody’s 
product is neglected, and trouble and dis¬ 
satisfaction res"'! ” 
Dr. Eugene I’o-ter. Commissioner De¬ 
partment of Farms and Markets, was un¬ 
able to be present, hut his place was taken 
by Charles R. White. He said standard¬ 
ization. the packing of their fruit in uni¬ 
form and attractive packages and the fol¬ 
lowing of their product through to the 
consumer had much to do with the suc¬ 
cess of the California growers. Tie did 
not. advocate the management of several 
agricultural industries by one associa¬ 
tion. but sought to show that the greatest 
results are gained where groups special¬ 
ize. Among industries he thought should 
he handled exclusively are those of wool 
growing and marketing, the beekeeping 
business, the manic sugar and maple 
syrup industry, the growing of small 
fruits and similar industries, The first 
step is to standardize the fruit products 
of the State so the orchardists will have 
something to advertise continuously, and 
the result will he a steady gain. 
Edward .T. O’Malley. Commissioner of 
Markets of New York City, spoke on 
“Marketing Apples in New York.” lie 
took up the subject from both the pro¬ 
ducers’ and consumers’ standpoints. 
There is a wide gap to be bridged be¬ 
tween the producer and consumer before 
they can come to a fairly workable un¬ 
derstanding. and there is much to be 
learned, especially by the average con¬ 
sumer. G. B. S.
