The National Nurseryman 
Hatboro - - Penna. 
The new director, Mr. Byers, was born in Mt. Pleasant 
Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Novem¬ 
ber 21, 1886. In 1905, he graduated from Washington 
and Jefferson Academy entering the class of 1909 of 
Washington and Jefferson College and after one year s 
attendance he left the college to take up the study ol 
scientific agriculture at the Pennsylvania State College, 
graduating with the degree ol Bachelor of Science in 
1909 and in 1912 was granted the degree of Master of 
Science by the same college. 
While still an undergraduate, Mr. Byers took the civil 
service examinations of the United States Department of 
Agriculture and shortly after his graduation received 
an appointment. 
In 1913 he severed his connection with the United 
States Department of Agriculture to accept the position 
of Agricultural Agent of the New York Central and Hud¬ 
son Biver Railroad in which capacity he served, with 
headquarters in New York City, until 1916. On January 
1, 1920, Mr. Byers was appointed Supervisor of Agricul¬ 
ture of all agricultural work of the New York Central 
Lines, having supervision on these lines, both east and 
west, with headquarters in Chicago and this post he 
relinquished to accept the appointment with the State 
Chamber of Commerce. 
During these years of service with the New York Cen¬ 
tral Lines, Mr. Byers has enjoyed an ever-growing ac¬ 
quaintanceship among the commercial and agricultural 
interest of the States, which he has been covering. His 
work, effort and aim has always been for things better 
agriculturally and he has originated and put into effect 
many helpful ideas for the States served by the lines he 
represented. Among railroad and agricultural men he 
has beeen looked upon as an authority and he has been 
in constant demand for conferences by commercial and 
agricultural organizations operating in the middle west.
