and A. R. Rule of the Federated Fruit 
and Vegetable Growers. 
The program on Friday included a 
discussion of the Apple industry from the 
housewife’s point of view. Mrs. Julian 
Heath, chairman of Home Economics of 
the New York City Federation of 
Women’s Clubs and president of the 
National Housewife’s League was schedu¬ 
led to lead the discussion. 
Officers were elected as follows: Presi¬ 
dent C. S. Wilson, Hall; first vice-presi¬ 
dent, C. H. McClew, Newfane; 2nd vice- 
president E. W. Mitchell, Stuyvesant 
Falls; 3rd vice-president, J. G. Case, 
Sodus; 4th vice-president, F. J. Freestone, 
Interlaken; secretary-treasurer R. P. 
McPherson, LeRoy; Secretary of Per¬ 
manent Funds H. E. Wellman of Kendall. 
A resolution was adopted changing the 
by-laws to provide for sick members of the 
executive committee who were then 
elected as follows: for one year, C. G. 
Wooster, Union Hill and Arzo Miller, 
Claverack; for two years, Leslie Tanner, 
Medina and R. C. Hitchings, Syracuse; 
for three years, T. E. Cross, Lagrange- 
ville and W. D. Chase of Hilton. 
The Society went on record as opposing 
any movement to bring about a return of 
daylight saving. It also registered 
opposition to any amendment of the State 
income tax rules, unless a proportionate 
reduction was made in the property tax 
so that farmers would be benefited. 
A resolution was adopted asking that 
an appropriation be made by the State 
to provide for a horticultural building at 
the State Fair grounds and a horticultural 
laboratory at the Geneva Experiment 
Station. A protest was registered against 
any attempt to legislate the Department 
of Farms and Markets out of existence. 
A resolution was passed asking that a 
man, conversant with growing of fruit, 
be made superintendent of the Fruit 
Department at the New York State Fair. 
The Society went on record approving 
the movement for a tax on gasoline. The 
closing resolution was to the affect that 
members should discuss the Rural School 
Bill more thoroughly in their own dis¬ 
tricts and that a conference on the Rural 
School matters should be called at 
Syracuse on January 31. 
GOVERNOR SMITH AD¬ 
DRESSES NEW YORK AGRI¬ 
CULTURAL SOCIETY 
A T the meeting of the New York State 
Agricultural Society held in the 
Assembly Chamber at Albany on Janu¬ 
ary 16, Governor Smith gave his reasons 
why he is asking the legislature for the 
second time to consolidate the New 
York State Department of Farms and 
Markets. He stated that the present 
system of appointing officers of the 
department does not give the executive 
the feeling of responsibility for its act 
that he would like to have, due primarily 
to the fact that the Legislature appoints 
the members of the Council and the 
Commissioner. 
The Governor also spoke on the P&rt 
Authority and its importance to farmers. 
He also touched upon the rural school 
system, saying that statistics prove that 
superior city school systems is one of the 
things responsible fox attracting young 
men and young women away from the 
farm. 
In spite of the small attendance there 
were a number of prominent speakers on 
the program, including J. H. Cohen, 
Counsel of the Port of New' York Author¬ 
ity; S. J. Lowell, Fredonia, who presided 
in the absence of A. L. Brockway; Berne 
A. Pryke, Commissioner of State De¬ 
partment of Farms and Markets; P. G. 
Ten Eyck, Albany, DeWitt Van Buskirk, 
vice-chairman of the Board of New Vork 
Authority; W. P. Heddon, II. D. Philips, 
H. E. Babcock and A. K. Getman of the 
New York State Board of Education.
