THE NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND DELEGATION 
It was a “merry bunch” that congregated in the special 
car leaving Buffalo at 11 p. m., on Monday night over the New 
York Central Lines for St. Louis, under the skillful and diplo¬ 
matic chaperonage of Charlie Yates. In the first place, the 
car was full; only a single upper remained unoccupied. The 
Rochester delegation was there in full force, and in high 
spirits, with Eddie Osborne as chief of the commissary depart¬ 
ment, ably assisted by Mr. Leutchford, who di.spensed the 
delicacies of the buffet to a group of eager recipients. The 
music of the “Rochester chanters” was, as usual, original 
and catchy. 
The delegation increased in size as it journeyed towards 
St. Louis, arriving there at least two cars strong, to find that 
delegations from the Middle West had reached the city only a 
short time earlier.

DUTY ON FRUIT STOCKS 
Editor National Nurseryman, 
I would like to know what advantage there is in keeping a duty on 
Apple and Pear Seedlnigs of $2.00 per 1000 when some of the American 
growers only filled 40 to 60 of their orders and some did not fill any of 
their contracts made in Jan., 1910. If not placed on the free list as a 
whole, why not place the two larger grades on the free list. I mean 7 to 
12 millimeters and 6 to 10 millimeters. The nurseryman could then get 
better seedlings to plant and he could give the fruitgrower better trees 
for the same money. Let the duty stand on the small grades to keep 
them out of the trade. Plum, Cherry, and Quince might be included in 
the latter category. Why pay the Government thousands of dollars 
which, of course, must be added to the selling price of the trees? 
Signed A Nurseryman.

Our Booh "Cable 
Elements of Agriculture, by G. F. Warren, Professor of Farm 
Management and Farm Crops, New York State College of Agricul¬ 
ture, Cornell University. 5x7%", 434 pp., including appendix and 
index, 25 plates. The Macmillan Co., New York. Price $1.10 net. 
Though designed for the high school, this text will meet the desire of 
the farmer or general reader for a brief scientific survey of agriculture. 
It purposes to make the teaching of agriculture as extensive and thorough 
in its scope as the teaching of any other science in the high school and to 
bring the study into intimate relation with the daily life of the student 
and his community. , 
After an introduction to the study, the laws controlling the improve¬ 
ment of plant and animal life, the propagation of plants, and their food 
are treated, and each chapter of the book is completed with laboratory 
exercises and collateral reading references. A study of the soil and its 
needs, how to maintain its fertility, some important farm crops and their 
enemies follow. The text then takes up the systems of cropping, feeds 
and feeding, and devotes several chapters to the horse, cattle, sheep, 
swine, and poultry. The last three chapters discuss the farm, its 
management, its home, its community. The appendix comprises 16 
tables of fundamental agricultural data.
