Whereas, the system of taxation for school 
purposes rests unevenly on many districts, 
making it very difficult to maintain adequate 
schools, and 
Whereas, a new law is to be passed by the 
coming session of the Legislature, therefore, 
bo it 
Resolved, that the General Conference Board 
recommends a state-wide system of taxation, 
making the burden bear equally throughout 
the State. 
Whereas, the Horticultural interests of the 
State are entitled to a new building on the 
State Fair Grounds the present year, and 
Whereas, the State Fair Commission has 
unanimously agreed to use its influence to that 
end, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the New York State Horticul¬ 
tural Society hereby appreciates the action of 
the State Fair Commission and petitions the 
present Legislature to appropriate a sum of 
money sufficient to build and equip a suitable 
Horticultural Building: and that a copy of this 
resolution be sent to the /Chairman of the 
State Fair Commission, also Governor- Smith, 
the Chairman of the Assembly "Ways and 
Means Committee and the Chairman of the 
Senate Finance GJommittee. 
Whereas, the New York State Fair’s Gov¬ 
erning Board as now constituted consists of 
seven members, namely President of the 
Senate, Commissioner of Farms and Markets 
and live persons appointed by the Governor, 
by and with the consent of the Senate, for a 
term of five years, one being appointed an¬ 
nually, hence the member’s term expires each 
year; and 
Whereas, the New York State’s Horticul 
tural interests have no representation on this 
commission, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that it is the earnest desire of this 
Society in annual session assembled that Gov¬ 
ernor Smith be asked to appoint an active 
Fruit Grower on the New York State Fair 
Commission. 
Whereas, the Gipsy Moth is entering New 
York State along an extended front and if al¬ 
lowed to spread may necessitate huge sums for 
control work and cause enormous losses in ad¬ 
dition, and. 
Whereas, the practicability of extermina- 
tive and control work has been demonstrated, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the New York State Horticul¬ 
tural Society record itself in favor of the State 
of New York, in cooperation with the Federal 
Government, establishing a barrier zone in the 
Hudson Valiev and its natural extensions be¬ 
yond which this pest shall not be allowed to 
become established. 
Whereas, the existing law which forbids 
persons under eighteen driving an automobile 
unless accompanied by an older person results 
in serious hardship to students attending high 
school, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the New York State Horticul¬ 
tural Society goes on record as favoring a 
modification of the existing law to the end that 
provision be made under proper restriction, 
after passing chauffeur’s examination, for 
competent persons under eighteen to be granted 
a permit to drive a car for purposes of at¬ 
tending school. 
Whereas, under the present law the cost 
of building and maintaining bridges on the 
State and county highways is now born by the 
towns thru which these roads pass, thereby 
placing an unjust burden of taxation on these 
towns, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the New York State Horticul¬ 
tural Society goes on record as favoring a 
change in the law requiring the cost of build¬ 
ing and maintaining these bridges, to be paid 
from the same source that builds the roads. 
, Whereas Governor Smith, has declared his 
nitentiou of recommending to the Legislature 
drastic changes in the Agricult ural Law of the 
btate with a view toward improving the work 
of the Agricultural Department, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the New York State Horticul¬ 
tural Society will heartily cooperate with the 
Governor in any changes he may suggest that 
will, m the jude/ment of the General Conference 
Board, improve the existing condition in the 
itepartmeut and increase its efficiency—Eu- 
^"°TE—It was stated at the meeting 
that this resolution is not to be interpreted to 
fflean that the Horticultural Society believes 
that radical changes in the Department are 
needed. 
Farm Machinery—Give every imple¬ 
ment and machine a careful inspection 
sometime this month, or next, so that 
everything may be in readiness for the 
coming season. Replace old, rusted, or 
broken parts with new, i-eliable pieces. 
A little forethought often prevents 
costly delay. Use the oil Cfan, the gi’ind- 
stone and the tool kit. 
The Best Truck for the Farm 
A Jim-Dandy'* Truck 
Model K- 16 , One Ton 
*1295 
For general farm use, on hard roads or in rough fields, the Model 
K-16 one ton GMC provides more pulling power, more speed, and 
more economy than other trucks of the same capacity. 
Chastit only—at th* factory 
Moreover, this “Jim-Dandy” truck is built from truck parts 
exclusively—no passenger car parts used. Consequently it has 
the sturdiness and enduring performance that is demanded for 
hauling over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather. 
The exclusive features of GMC construction, developed from more 
than ten years of successful truck building, have provided this 
truck with more continuous performance and lower operating 
and maintenance costs. Due to its advanced design there is not a 
single wearing part in this truck that cannot be replaced. Such 
refinements as Removable Cylinder Walls, Removable Valve 
Lifter Assemblies, Pressure Lubrication, and Instantaneous 
Governor action all give to this truck the dependability that 
is so vital in farm trucking. 
In every detail of construction the Model K-16 has been built 
according to the most approved and most advanced practices. 
Magneto ignition, electric lights and starter with conduit wiring 
entirely separate from the ignition wiring, radius rods, thermo¬ 
syphon cooling, oversized brake drums, interchangeable brake 
rods, complete instrument board, pressure chassis lubrication, 
cord tires— 
CMC Chaasia Hat at fac¬ 
tory aa followa: One Ton, 
$1295; Two Ton, 
$2375; Three and One- 
half Ton, $3600; Five 
Ton, $3950; tax to 
be added 
All these are universally accepted as the best for motor truck 
use—all these are standard in this GMC. 
Measured by any standard this one ton truck has no superiors- 
and its cost, considering its quality, is much lower.
