New  York  State  Horticultural  Society 
Meeting 
Part  II 
Scientific  Meeting. — On  the  evening 
of  the  second  day  the  National  Crop  Pro¬ 
tection  Institute  met  for  their  annual 
meeting.  This  association  has  for  its 
object  the  advancement  of  the  investiga¬ 
tion  of  scientific  problems  which  are  of 
interest  to  the  commercial  organization. 
It  is  through  this  fund  that  the  commer¬ 
cial  organization  to  a  great  extent  con¬ 
tribute  their  money  for  the  conduct  of 
certain  experiments  through  fellowships. 
The  institute  was  established  so  that  the 
workers  employed  would  not  be  biased  in 
the  work  to  which,  they  were  assigned. 
_  Packing  Associations. — The  major 
discussion  on  the  last  day  centered 
around  the  central  packing  associations 
that,  have  grown  up  in  the  last  few  years. 
The  chief  speaker  in  this  line  was  N.  R. 
Beet  of  the  Western  New  York  Fruit 
Packing  Co-operative  Association.  Mr. 
Peet  said  in  part :  “Co-operative  associa¬ 
tions  that  have  been  the  most  successful 
are  those  that  keep  shipping  fruit  stead¬ 
ily  throughout  the  whole  season  in  which 
the  fruit  is  in  proper  condition.  In  West¬ 
ern  New  York  one  of  the  most  insidious 
factors  has  been  the  tendency  on  the  part 
of  fruit  growers  to  speculate.  Some  of 
the  advantages  of  steady  shipments  are : 
They  have  brought  a  splendid  trade  and 
removed  the  necessity  of  many  buyers 
to  buy  a  lot  of  fruit  in  the  Fall 
simply  to  hold  it  in  storage;  lie  doesn’t 
have  to  invest ;  he  knows  that  he  can  al¬ 
ways  get  fruit  through  the  association, 
and  that  he  will  get  a  uniform  pack.  As 
the  trade  comes  to  know  more  of  the  asso¬ 
ciation  pack  and  buys  regularly  from 
them  the  demand  is  increased  and  the  as¬ 
sociation  is  able  to'  increase  its  price.” 
Transportation  Facilities. — F.  M. 
Barker,  Western  superintendent  of  the 
Lehigh  Railroad,  was  another  speaker  on 
the  last  day.  Mr.  Barker  said :  “It  makes 
no  difference  how  fertile  the  soil,  how 
great  the  opportunity  to  raise  big  crops, 
how  productive  the  farms,  mines  or  mills 
in  this  country,  full  value  cannot  he  real¬ 
ized  unless  there  are  sufficient  transpor¬ 
tation  facilities.”  He  went  further  to 
state  that  the  whole  system  of  trade  was 
dependent  to  some  extent  on  the  other 
branches  of  industry  than  any  one  specific 
One.  lie  spoke  of  the  regulations  on  rail¬ 
roads  that  have  come  so  thick  and  fast 
hat  no  organization  can  lay  their  plans 
ahead  with  any  degree  of  certainty. 
Resolutions. — 'Several  resolutions  were 
passed  on  the  last  day.  One  was  oppos¬ 
ing  any  change  in  the  present  method  of 
appointing  of  men  to  serve  on  the  Council 
of  Farms  and  Markets.  One  resolution 
was  passed  asking  the  Governor  to  ap¬ 
point  an  active  fruit  grower  on  the  State 
Fair  Commission.  A  resolution  was 
passed  asking  the  State  and  Federal  Gov¬ 
ernment  to  establish  a  barrier  in  the  Hud¬ 
son  Valley  beyond  which  the  gypsy  moth 
shall  not  be  allowed  to  become  estab¬ 
lished.  A  resolution  of  appreciation  was 
passed,  to.be  sent  to  the  State  Fair  Com¬ 
mission,  in  response  to  their  favorable 
action  regarding  the  new  horticultural 
building  at  the  State  Fair.  The  society 
went  on  record  as  favoring  a  new  plant 
industry  building  at  (he  State  College 
for  the  housing  of  the  plant  pathology  de¬ 
partment.  They  passed  a  resolution  ask¬ 
ing  the  Legislature  to  provide  for  children 
under  the  age  of  18  who  could  satisfactor¬ 
ily  pass  a  chauffeur’s  examination,  to  be 
permitted  to  drive  an  automobile  to 
school.  They  favored  the  resolution  which 
provides  that  roads  which  require  bridges 
be  built  from  the  same  fund  that  is  ap¬ 
propriated  for  the  construction  of  the 
road.  They  indorsed  the  work  of  the 
Committee  of  Twenty-one.  Their  resolu¬ 
tion  also  favors  the  appropriation  of  addi¬ 
tional  funds  that  are  now  being  asked 
for  the  horticultural  buildings  at  the  State 
Experiment  Station  at  Geneva. 
Rough  estimate  shows  that  fully  4,000 
•  fruit  growers  attended  the  meeting,  some 
coming  from  as  far  West  as  Oregon. 
Practically  all  the  States  in  the  north¬ 
eastern  section  were  represented,  as  well 
as  growers  from  West  Virginia,  Ken¬ 
tucky  and  Canada.  New  Jersey  and  Mas¬ 
sachusetts  were  represented  by  the  presi¬ 
dents  of  their  State  associations.  Many 
of  the  horticultural  exhibits  were  packed 
and  shipped  to  the  New  York  Board  of 
Health’s  annual  show  at  Grand  Central 
Palace,  New  York  City.  Plans  are  being 
discussed  for  holding  a  vegetable  show 
in  connection  with  the  fruit  show  next 
year.  E.  A.  F.

Raising  Asparagus  Plants 
The  following  is  a  good  method  to 
raise  asparagus  plants.  Just  as  early  in 
the  Spring  as  possible  make  a  V-shaped 
trench  or  row  about  4  iu.  deep  and  about 
4  in.  wide,  such  as  is  used  in  planting 
peas,  hut  instead  of  ridging  up  the  earth 
with  the  idea  of  filling  back  in  after  seeds 
are  planted,  smooth  off,  so  that  the  space 
arranged  for  planting  will  be  level  be¬ 
tween  rows.  After  sowing  the  seed  ( % 
to  1  in.  apart),  cover  with  clean  sand  to 
the  ground  level.  My  soil  is  rather  heavy 
clay  loam,  and  when  planted  in  the  or¬ 
dinary  way  it  is  nearly  impossible  to  keep 
out.  the  weeds,  and  quite  impossible  to 
avoid  disturbing  the  plants,  but  by  the 
method  above  given  I  have  raised  very 
fine  plants  and  without  any  hand  weed¬ 
ing.  as  clean  sand  contains  no  weed 
seeds,  and  those  in  the  ground  will  not 
germinate  under  the  sand.
