New York Horticulturists 
Hold Meeting at Geneva 
J. D. LUCKETT 
A BOUT a thousand fruit and vege- 
. table growers and their friends 
met on the grounds of the Experiment 
Station at Geneva, last Wednesday, at 
the summer meeting of the New York 
State Horticultural Society and the 
New York State Vegetable Growers’ 
Association. 
Several prominent speakers ad¬ 
dressed the gathering in the morning. 
In the afternoon tours of inspection of 
the Station spraying and dusting ex¬ 
periments with fruit and vegetables, 
and variety tests of fruit and vege¬ 
tables led by Dr. U. P., Hedrick, P. J. 
Parrott, and F. H. Hall of the Station 
staff proved especially interesting. 
Many of the growers also made a trip 
to the Wilson and Jones orchard at 
Hall, where the Station is conducting 
a big-scale spraying and dusting ex¬ 
periment with apples. 
A tug-of-war between the fruit 
growers and the vegetable growers was 
won by the fruit men, in spite of the 
strenuous efforts of H. S. Duncan of 
the Department of Farms and Mar¬ 
kets, “anchor-man” for the losers. A 
baseball game between the Horticul¬ 
tural Society and the Farm Bureau, 
and horseshoe pitching contests be¬ 
tween county teams completed the day’s 
activities. 
Prominent Speakers Present 
Charles S. Wilson of Hall, president 
of the Horticultural Society, presided 
at the morning session. Dr. R. W. 
Thatcher, director of the Experiment 
Station, welcomed the growers to the 
Station and spoke briefly of the mer¬ 
ger of the Station and the College of 
Agriculture at Ithaca, pointing out the 
advantages of the union. Mr. Wilson 
and R. W. McClure, president of the 
Vegetable Growers’ Association, re¬ 
sponded briefly and pledged the sup¬ 
port of their two organizations to the 
Station and its work. Mr. McClure 
also announced that the vegetable 
growers planned to meet with the Hor¬ 
ticultural Society at the latter’s winter 
meeting in Rochester next January. 
A. R. Mann, Dean of the College of 
Agriculture at Ithaca, spoke at some 
length on the developments leading up 
to, the merger of the College and Sta¬ 
tion, the present relationships of the 
two institutions, and the outlook for 
the future. The program for the de¬ 
velopment of the work at Geneva pre¬ 
sented to the farmers of the State last 
summer and, more recently, to the Leg¬ 
islature by Dr. Thatcher, is to be given 
the full support of the College, said 
Dean Mann. 
“Organize to Cooperate” was the 
theme of an interesting address by 
Hon. Peter G. Ten Eyck, member of 
Congress from the Albany district, and 
a member of the Congressional Joint 
Commission of Agricultural Inquiry. 
Mr. Ten Eyck related some of the find¬ 
ings of this Commission, which devoted 
eighteen months to an investigation of 
the agricultural situation throughout 
the country. It was everywhei’e evi¬ 
dent, said Mr. Ten Eyck, that the 
farmer must organize to bargain col¬ 
lectively in his buying and selling, just 
as big business and labor have organ¬ 
ized, if he is to secure a fair return 
for his labor and for the money in¬ 
vested in his farming enterprise. 
Cross Speaks for Apple Show 
Plans for the New York City apple 
show, to be held in November, were 
outlined by T. E. Cross of Lagrange- 
ville, who said that for the show to be 
a success the individual grower must 
take it upon himself to see that his 
fruit is represented, either by private 
exhibit or through his cooperative. In 
answer to a plea for donations of ap¬ 
ples from growers in order to make 
possible the gift of at least one apple 
to every boy and girl who attends the 
apple show, more than fifty growers 
pledged one or more barrels of fruit. 
Mr. Cross said that the growers in the 
Hudson River Valley were keenly alive 
to the possibilities for putting New 
York apples on the Eastern markets 
through the medium of the apple show.

h Cost of / 
Milking / 
There are from 23 to 25 million dairy 
cows in the United States, which must be 
milked twice a day. Assuming that one 
man can milk ten cows an hour, which is 
fast hand milking, this means that 4,600,000 
hours of human labor are required to milk 
these cows each day. At the extremely low 
rate of 10c an hour it costs approximately 
$460,000 a day just for hand milking—a 
staggering sum. 
But that isn’t all. Good hand milkers 
are scarce and getting scarcer every day. 
Few people like to milk cows. Hand milk¬ 
ing is slow, costly and insanitary. Human 
labor is too valuable for such work. A 
De Laval Milker is faster, cleaner, better 
and cheaper.

-at the low rate of 
10 cents an houi> 
There are now over 12,000 De Laval 
Milkers in use in all parts of the country, 
giving unqualified satisfaction and proving 
every day that they can milk at least twice 
as many cows with the same amount of 
help—thus cutting the cost of milking 
squarely in two, or enabling twice as many 
cows to be milked with the same help. 
But saving time and labor is only part 
of the value of a De Laval. Because of 
its gentle and soothing, yet stimulating 
and uniform action, cows almost invariably 
produce more milk when milked the 
De Laval way than by any other method. 
Thousands of users have proved this. Some 
of the best cows in the land have made 
their records with De Laval Milkers and 
some of the best milk is produced with it. 
If you are milking ten or more cows you 
are paying for a De Laval Milker. You 
might as well be getting the benefit from it 
.—you can get one on such easy terms that 
it will pay for itself.
