Everyone in other lines of business knows that it takes considerable amount of advertising of a new product to supplant an older, well-known article. The other day a man came to my office and said I want two barrels of apples for home use. Have you got the Spy. No. Have you got the Greening? No. Have you got the Baldwin? No. You certainly must be from New York. But we have the Jonathans and Grimes for early winter use, and the Minkler and Rome Beauty of later and the varieties you mention are not so good quality.. He ordered a barrel of Grimes and Minkler and forever after there will be no Greenings or Baldwins in his cellar. This illustrates what I have said about sup- planting the old. It will pay to advertise and this you are doing with your annual Apple Show. It is the right thing to do. It is what has made the northwest apple famous. Grow good fruit and advertise it. It is ex- pensive for the individual to advertise singly. The community must do it as you are doing. Observance of apple day will help. Buyers generally think it costs the grower but little beside the ex- pense of harvesting the crop and the package. They do not consider the original cost of growing the trees, the pruning, and winter and summer spraying from three to seven or eight times, and the cultivation 68 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. enter into the expense of growing the crop. Their idea is to buy the apples for as little as possible and because the grower has not reckoned the cost himself he finds it impossible to do so. The grower is there- fore at fault that has invested in his crop of apples and how much he should have to secure a profit that he sell his crop so cheap. The bet- ter his methods the more it cost, but as a rule the better are his returns. In the pictures which are to follow you can see with your eyes that to pay for power sprayer outfits, to buy tractor engines and operate them, that double acting dise harrows, that grading machines and trucks to haul to market cost good money and must be reckoned with. But as much as all this in cost is the carloads of chemicals that are sprayed onto the trees. Over and above the machinery and the ma- terial used is the money paid out for labor during the season. It is useless for the fruit grower to attempt to grow apples by leav- ing it all to nature on the theory that the Lord careth for His own. It is far better to depend upon the well demonstrated fact that the Lord helps them who helps themselves. Like most things worth while it will not do to go about growing apples in a half-hearted way. It will.not pay. You may-just as well expect to make money by invest- ing in a race horse who is just fast enough to keep from being shut out by the distance flag, but who never wins a race. I have seen men spur- red into enthusiasm at a horticultural meeting sufficiently to buy spray material and spraying outfit whose enthusiasm waned to that extent by spraying time that the spraying was done in a cursory manner or was delayed until some other farm crop was cared for and it was too late to do much good. One man complained to me that there was nothing in the spraying business because he had tried it. When asked about it he said he sprayed the orchard once after the corn was laid by. This was several years ago and now not even an amateur would do so badly as this. Thorough methods with improved machinery makes it possible for the grower to meet the conditions of time required for this work and at a minimum of expense accomplish the work which nature in its multi plication of fungus and insect pests forces upon him. It is no fool’s job to grow perfect fruit. When the buyer has con- cluded a purchase and by the time of its delivery the market has taken a slump it is an easy matter to claim that fruit is not up to grade. It therefore behooves the grower to grow fruit that is silver-lined, gold plated and hand-painted to meet these requirements. It is therefore imperative that the grower leave no stone unturned to accomplish the best results. The best you can do will be some imperfect fruit and some too small as sure as “God made little apples.” Therefore not only grow the best but pack them well. To do this is not easy, any more than it is easy to grow perfect fruit. Get the best labor you can and it will be none too reliable. There is a falling from grace constantly among the workers and they must be constantly looked after. It is hard for some people to guage the size of an apple as 214 or 214 inches and here the grading machine comes into use and solves that part of the problem. It is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. You will see one of these machines operated by a gasoline FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 69 spray engine taken from the spray wagon in operation in the pictures thrown upon the screen. The apples keep coming and the sorters have to keep busy and unconsciously they speed up in their work with the result that at the close of the day you have twice as many apples in the barrel as under the old system with the same amount of labor. With two of these machines in the same packing shed parallel and twelve feet apart with the side delivery aprons coupled together and carrying the number two’s from both machines to one place, the two are barreled with one set of hands thus saving valuable space and labor. The one’s are barreled on the concrete floor and from there are stacked in the delivery room. From 700 to 900 barrels were packed daily in this packing shed. Teams with flat top wagons and low wheels such as you’ will see upon the picture screen are constantly hauling apples from the packing gang in the orchard to the packing shed and unloading into the grading machines. The modern apple picker is equipped with a pointed ladder made for the purpose. A picking sack which empties from the bottom into a bushel crate, with a foreman in charge who sees to it that rough work in handling the ladders and in picking the apples and emptying them into the crates is eliminated, we have the necessary equipment for starting the apple along its way to the consumer. Rough handling of the ladders in placing them knocks off the fruit or bruises the apples. Careless handling of the sack in shifting the sack about or in coming down the ladder and dropping the contents a foot or so into the crates all contribute to bruises and the foreman must be always on the job to eliminate as much as possible. Setting one box upon another with- out first taking off from the top those apples likely to be bruised in stacking them in the packing shed is another milepost which needs watching. Emptying from the crate into the moving canvass of the grader is another. The grader should not be run faster than directions call for. .A canvass must be used in letting apples down into the bar- rel for they must not be allowed to drop from the grading machine to the bottom of the barrel as I have witnessed in the packing ware- houses of New York. ; Barrels should be faced with the uniform size of fruit of good color and: the apples settled into the barrel as it is filled by gently shaking the barrel. The barrels should when filled be tailed or faced off with the same sized fruit as in the barrels throughout, but the color side of the apples should be faced up. A good looking girl looks best when smiling and so should the apples put their best foot foremost to create a favorable impression. I have seen a buyer turn from a car of apples because of one defective or green apple on the face of the barrel. I have had horse buyers tell me they could tell a good horse when they see it whether poor or fat, but believe me the horse that is in good condition sells for the most money. The face of the barrel of apples is supposed and expected to look 20% better than the run of the barrel and if it does not the buyer who usually buys to sell again is disappointed. Marketing apples in the middle west has not reached perfection as yet any more than has growing. There is much less co-operation in the selling than in the growing and for this reason many a grower has f 70 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. lost money from lack of market due to the ignorance of other growers who offered their product below what the market would justify. Natur- ally the buyer wants the fruit as low as he can get it. I have been a buyer and know. In New York and more pronounced in the north- west the growers are better organized. Some seasons the buyer or his representative camps down in a Rochester hotel for six weeks without making a purchase because he cannot break through the guard of the apple grower who is constantly in close touch with his neighbor on the apple situation. When one well posted grower sells the other fol- lows suit and sometimes within a week the better part of the crop changes hands. This is due to the organization and interchange of ideas among the growers. In the northwest sales are usually made through a ce1tral organization who handles that part of the business. In this way the growers are not competing against each other but through one common agent they transact their business. In the middle west we lack that organiation. We should have some system of getting together and this it is proposed shall be done by the growers of the middle west meeting in St. Louis before the crop is harvested and talk- ing over the crops and the markets. A committee has already been named to issue a call for such a meeting and it should pay every apple grower to attend. This call will be issued in time. Apple growing in the middle west can be at its prime if right methods are followed in a very short time. This season has been a good adver- tisement and followed by increased efforts to grow and pack a high quality of fruit will increase the popularity of the middle west apples in markets of the world so auspiciously begun. & DISCUSSION. Qustion: Have you tried any dust spray? Answer: Yes, when spraying came first I trted dust spraying, but after giving it a thorough trial, I was satisfied that it was hot as prac- tical as had been represented to me, and I came to the conclusion that it was a waste of time to spend very much time with it. We had the experiment station and conducted some experiments along side of the liquid spray and the result was in favor of the liquid spray, so that after that we did not waste our time with dust sprays. In Missouri they contend that dust syraying is the thing, especially those who are interested in the machine for putting it on. I have had some of them say to me, “Why, you don’t give us a chance—you don’t allow us to convince you.” I. reply that “The test of the pudding is the eating thereof,” and we haye tried out both the liquid and the dust spray to the ‘point where we are satisfied that the liquid spray is much the better; and inasmuch as the test is in the results you get, and as the results that we got were very much more satisfactory from the liquid than from the dust spray, we just let the matter drop, and have not used the dust spray at all. However, I am frank to say that [ do not feel that I am in a position to speak authoritatively on the subject, any farther than my own experience goes, but to that extent, I would simply say that the dust spray is not to be compared with the liquid spray, if you want to get results in combating with this disease. ‘OSSOMGY ‘ULIV] YOOD ‘gO ‘“sulyyeis duinys FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. fl WHAT BIRD LIFE MEANS TO MICHIGAN—AND WHY BIRDS SHOULD BE CONSERVED. BY HERBERT E. SARGENT, DIRECTOR OF THE KENT SCIENTIFIC MUSEUM, GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN. Speaking under the auspices of the Grand Rapids Public Library, Mr. Sargent delivered a most interesting lecture on the above topic, illus- trated by a wealth of colored slides, which added interest and a clearer insight into this subject by all who heard him. Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the State Horticultural Society: The matter of bird protection has gone beyond the sentimental stage. Its advocates no longer plead for the birds because of the beauty of song and plumage and their, delight of their presence, although these are worthy reasons for their protection. A more practical phase of the subject has been arrived at through the admirable work accomplished by the bureau of biological survey at Washington, by investigation in institutions of learning and by scores of private individuals who have demonstrated -beyond question the economic importance of the birds as insect and weed destroyers. This information is largely based upon the study of bird stomachs which has brought to light many interesting facts. For example, the food found in the stomachs of 238 meadow larks leads to the follow- lowing conservative estimate: Twenty birds to the square mile con- sume, in grasshopper season, 1,000 grasshoppers in a day, or 30,000 in a month. The grasshoppers would have consumed sixty-six pounds of forage which would be equal to $24 value to each township. By such compilations government authorities estimate that various kinds of in- sects destroy a billion dollars’ worth of crops in the United States every year, or $10 apiece for every man, woman and child. DESTRUCTIVE INSECT’S FAVORITE FOOD. Bird study develops the fact that most of the destructive insects are favorite food of many species of birds, and it is estimated that the birds which are with us now annually save to the county hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of crops. The government says that every insect-eating bird is worth almost its weight in gold. Notwithstanding these facts, or because we are not conversant with them, we allow hunters to kill our most valuable birds. For example, 50% of the food of the bobwhite or “Quail” is weed seed, 25% waste grain, 10% wild fruits and 15% insects, including the Colorado potato beetle, cinchbug, cucumber beetle, wireworm, armyworm, cloverleaf weevil and grasshoppers. As a food proposition he is worth but a few cents. Why not let him work? We are at the present time glorying in the largest harvest ever pro- 72 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. duced, which means greater necessity for bird help in keeping in check the insect pests, and yet owing to the agencies destroying bird life, we have only one bird today where there were ten, twenty years ago. It is apparent that the time is fully ripe to conduct a most strenuously active campaign toward the curbing of the destruction of birds and the conserving of those which we now have. The Audubon societies, national, state and local, are attempting to accomplish this by educating the people through the public press and the lecture platform. To this end was maintained the museum exhibit at the West Michigan State Fair this year and later at the museum calling attention to the value of birds and some of their enemies. Apple growers were shown that twenty-five species of birds destroy three- quarters of the winter brood ‘of the codling moth, and by so doing save twenty-five million dollar’s worth of apples Each year. More birds would save more apples. FACTORS THAT DESTROY BIRDS. The most important preventable factors in bird destruction are the gun, the cat and the destroying of nesting places and natural food. A long step in advance has been taken in eliminating the first of these by the enactment of the gun-license law. It has long been recog- nized by bird conservationists that the foreign element, which ruth- lessly hunts song birds for food, and minors who hunt them for sport, have been among the destructive agents. Under the gun-license law it is unlawful for these classes to carry guns, and in some sections the law is being faithfully enforced. Short sighted, indeed, is the man who objects to the payment of one dollar a year for the privilege of using a gun, when by so doing he is providing a fund for the protection of his best friends, the bird in their capacity of insect and weed destroyers. The next great advance must be the destruction of useless cats. It is conservatively estimated that cats average the killing of fifty birds apiece each year. Students estimate that one and one-half millions are annually destroyed in New England and three and one-half millions in New York state. The destruction is greatest among young birds just out of the nest. This work is popularly attributed to stray and underfed cats, but abundant evidence is available to condemn most of the cherished house- hold pets. The hunting instinct of a cat is too strong to be overcome, and the well fed, high-spirited home cat is frequently the worst offender, not because of hunger, but for the pure love of killing. In the case of the dog, the nuisance of useless numbers has been comfortably overcome by a license, whereby for a small sum the valu- able animal is protected and the worthless one destroyed. Why should not this same justice be meted to the cat, which is economically a much greater offender than the dog ever was? FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 73 . FAVORS LICENSING OF CATS. We recognize that the subject of the licensing of cats has been one of pleasant jest and that it is looked upon with no degree of favor by many cat lovers, but we have been surprised to find that the majority of those to whom the subject has been broached would heartily favor such an act. As in the case of the dog, so with the cat, the most feasible way of raising funds for getting rid of the useless is to license the valuable. When the objectors realize that cats are dangerous contagious disease distributors, not only to their own kind, but to mankind as well, they will insist upon a license as a protection to themselves and their pets. There is no logical reason why the choice between valueless cats and valuable birds should not be decided in favor of the birds. Among the most effective solutions of the problem of how to secure more birds is the conserving and encouraging of those we have—a work which is easily within the reach of all. The progress of civilization and land settlement, entailing the rais- ing of enormous quanities of succulent plants, susceptible to the ravages of injurious insects such as the cabbage worm, the potato beetle, the Hessian fly and the cinchbug, and the occasional accidental in- troduction of foreign species of insects such as the gypsy and brown- tail moths, the San Jose scale and others, have increased the necessity for more birds to destroy these increased hordes of insects. At the same time in clearing for agriculture, man has largely destroyed the nesting cover and natural food of the birds. HOW TO REMEDY CONDITIONS. This incongruous condition of things may be largely remedied in several ways: The replacing of the rail fence with its tangle of blackberry, sumach, black-haw, choke-cherry and other plants, by the cleaner and more sight- ly wire fence has improved crop conditions in many ways, but it has deprived birds of their natural food and nesting places, both of which might have been spared without-material detriment. This defect can still be remedied by the planting of wild fruit-bearing shrubs and trees along the fences. The antiquated highway law which requires road commissioners to remove all foliage from the right-of-way should be repealed, or at least modified, so that groups or lines of fruit and seed-bearing trees might be spared on the public domain for this purpose as well as to’ beautify the landscape. Many careful fruit growers are supplying nesting boxes in their orchards for the bluebird and similar species, to replace the cavities common in neglected orchards, with beneficial results. An artificial food supply and shelter should be furnished for the winter residents which are among the most beneficial birds in their capacity as scavengers of insects in their winter stages. Carelessness in these respects has permantly driven some species from 74 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. our State, and prevents others from lingering with us to nest while on their northern migration, both of which conditions are calamitous. STOP WEARING FEATHERS ON HATS. Referring to the use of feathers of tropical birds as hat decoration, Mr. Sargent cited the case of the almost complete destruction of the egret in past years and the parallel case of the greatly diminishing numbers of the bird-of-paradise and stated that in reply to inquiries by Grand Rapids women as to whether the securing of the “goura” feathers meant the destroying of the bird, quoted a communication from T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon societies, who said: “The goura feathers used in the millinery trade are taken from the crowned pigeon, which is a wild bird and which is shot for the purpose of getting the feathers for millinery purposes. For this reason the bird is already threatened with extinction over portions of its range.” Mr. Sargent spoke -with satisfaction of the growing tendency toward the strict observance of the national law which forbids the sale and _use of the feathers of non-game birds, but expressed the regret of all “bird lovers that the custom is not entirely tabooed. He closed his address with the following summary: If every landowner would supply a few bird-houses and shelters, and protect his birds from cats, sparrows and guns; coddling moths, potato bugs, squash bugs, cinch bugs, Hessian flies, weevils and borers of all sorts, cutworms, cabbage worms, gypsy, browntail and Tussock moths, webworms, tent caterpillars, grasshoppers and all other insect pests, all of which are destroyed by the birds, would soon be so reduced in number as to be practically harmless. Why not let the State protect your land from hunters by making it a State game preserve? Why not destroy all stray cats about your premises? They kill on an average of fifty birds apiece each year! Why not put up a few boxes with holes in them for birdhouses and shelters ? Why not leave or plant a few fruit-bearing shrubs upon which the birds may feed when insects are scarce? In short, why not learn the value of your most faithful servants, the birds, and care for them as you would a human servant or a valuable animal? anes 315 00 | under 55 00 6 232 00 over 55 00 14 373 00 OWer S8iCOWSH O22; cic chiens cere tee erate eee 295 00 | under 55 00 Ti 109 00 over 55 00 10 455 00 —- From these charts already shown you have seen that size of business and quality taken separately affect the farmer’s income but taken jointly they produce a very marked result. Large size and good quality produce excellent results. Small size and poor quality produce most discouraging results. Small size and good quality seem to make a better combination than does large size and poor quality. DIVERSITY OF FARM BUSINESS. The farmers of Newaygo county evidently realize that better returns are secured by having several important sources of income than having only one or two. Several important sources of income furnish a good seasonal distribution of labor and prevent the risks resulting from having all the eggs in one basket. With records of two seasons ayail- FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 147 able, it seems that the majority of the farmers around Fremont have good diversity of farm enterprise. A great variety of fruit, crop, and animal sources of income prevail. No combination of these is found that is decidedly more profitable than other combinations for the two years covered in the work. As a general proposition two to four major sources of income with some minor sources make a better combination than any other arrangements. Individual instances are often cited that seem to disprove this statement but a careful analysis of these cases almost always discovers some special condition which can not be duplicated by any large number of farmers. The specialty farmers who can cater to some fancy trade usually make good incomes but the specialty farmers who produce any one of the ordinary farm crops or farm animal or animal products exclusively without special conditions and sells them at ordinary market prices very seldom make a good labor income. Experienced farmers often make mistakes of this kind. An eighty-acre farmer doing general purpose farming oftentimes finds that a market for milk has opened up in his region; he cuts down his acre- age of cash crops, stocks up with six or eight cows and finds that he is doing better than before. If he continues along with that new ar- rangement he does very fine but oftentimes he farther enlarges his herd of cows and eliminates all his cash crops thinking he will thus increase his income and maintain a higher degree of fertility on his farm than formerly. This may result satisfactorily if he has a special outlet for his dairy products but if he has only ordinary market prices he makes a very serious mistake with the result that he works longer hours than formerly and gets a smaller wage per hour than ever be- fore. Dairying is good business on a farm which has good diversity but is mighty poor business on a farm which has no other sources of income and receives only ordinary market prices for dairy products. One source of income involves a big risk and very seldom produces ¢ good income for the farmer except as a result of special conditions. I have here shown a number of charts which we are using in our Farm Management Demonstrations in Newaygo county. This data has been prepared in an effort to show these farmers that certain efficiency factors materially affect their income. In the following chart I will show how we analyze a farmer’s business and show him how these factors, size and quality, affect his own business. 148 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. CHART E.

SATTERLEE, SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LYON MEMORIAL FUND. To the Members of the Michigan State Horticultural Society: During the last day of the Annual meeting of the State Horticultural Society held at Kalamazoo in 1914, the Board of Trustees of the Lyon Memorial Fund held a joint meeting with the Executive Board of the Michigan State Horticultural Society. At this meeting, at which all the members of the two boards were present, various matters pertain- ing to the relations and work of the two boards were discussed, and the probable permanent income to be derived from the Lyon Memorial Fund, and the slowly increasing Life Membership Fund was made clear. It was voted by the Executive Board of the State Horticultural Society to turn over $250.00 of the general fund then on hand to the credit of the Life Membership Fund. This brings the Life Membership Fund up to $750.00 Since that time this board has had no regular or special meeting. I have received the following report from Chas. W.

Lyon, is never out of place. If it were not for the income derived from his liberal bequest we should be much more greatly handicapped in our work than we now are. As it is, since the withdrawal of our state appropriation for expenses our income is FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. A7(e5) much too small for any large aggressive educational work. If it were not for the loyalty and self- sacrificing work of our secretary and the members of our executive board we should make a very poor showing indeed. Through the liberality of the State we are enabled to print and distribute the valuable information obtained at our annual, and other meetings thus making such information available to the horti- culturists of Michigan. We need a larger permanent income which it is hoped may be secured through a large increase in our Life Menr bership Fund. Or perhaps through the loyality and large liberality of some of our prominent horticulturists who owe much to the work of our Society and who have at heart the best interests of the future horticulturists of our State. We need, too, a larger annual income from annual memberships. (Such memberships show a lively interest in the work of today, of this vear.) Or through some special efforts in making exhibits by local societies at our State or district fairs. In any case, if we are to doa larger and more aggressive work it means a livelier interest and a more self-sacrificing spirit ina large number of our best fruit growers and others engaged in general horticultural work. Respectfully submitted, JAMES SATTERLEE, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Lyon Memorial Fund. Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 8, 1915. Your Committee on Exhibitions beg to submit the following report: We have examined the exhibits and made the following list of exhibits and specimens shown: O. F.

Rawaveo County Agricultural Bureau, Fremont—40 boxes of apples and 50 plates. Berrien County Horticultural Society of Quinces; 6 plates of Pears. We wish to give honorable mention of the following 20 bushels of apples displayed by the South Haven Fruit Exchange taken from their regular stock and placed in storage to exhibit at this meeting, it is a great object lesson in good packing and is to be most heartily com- mended. Honorable Mention to E. W. Lincoln, for number of varieties and ex- ecellency of specimens. Honorable Mention is given to quality of specimens exhibited by J. H. Crane, of Fennville, particular attention is called to the Spies, 195 plates of apples; 2 plates 176 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Honorable Mention to A. N.

Honorable Mention to the Fine Display of the Newaygo County Agricultural Bureau. They show Fine Quality and the manner of displaying them, all varieties being named. Honorable Mention to the large and fine exhibit from the Berrien County Horticultural Society, (they should have been labeled.) Your committee begs leave to make the following criticisms and recommendations: 1. All fruit should be labeled regardless of the package it is shown in. 2. We believe it is desirable that this Society should give annually some trophy to be competed for in such a class as this Society may de- cide on. Signed EK. O. LADD, L. EH. HALL, 1) f PICKFORD. The prizes given by the State Society were awarded as follows: Newaygo County Bureau, First Prize, $15.00. Berrien County Horticultural Society, Second Prize, $10.00. The report of the committee on resolutions offered the following which was unanimously adopted: Your committee on Resolutions beg to submit the following: We wish to especially express our appreciation to Senator and Mrs. Dunlap, of Savoy Illinois; Mr. Seth J. T. Bush, of Morton, New York, and A. ©. Carton, Secretary Michigan Public Domain Commission; Mr. Don Francisco, of Chicago; who have so kindly and generously come here without remuneration and by their presence and inspiration added so much to the value of our meetings. To Prof. Halligan and his class in Horticulture, from M. A. C., who gave us the splendid series of addresses on Horticultural subjects, is due no small part of the success of the meeting, not only for their literary value but for the up-to-the minute horticultural information which they so ably imparted. We wish to thank also, Prof. Sargeant of the Kent Scientific Museum, for his very entertaining illustrated lecture on “American Birds” and their relation to Horticulture. We appreciate also the material assistance of the G. R. Association of Commerce and their hospitality in so kindly furnishing the rooms for the ladies’ meetings, also for the liberal donation to help defray the ex- pense of the Coliseum. i As The Fruit Belt, a horticultural journal, published.:at Grand Rapids is devoted exclusively to the interests of fruit and vegetable growers, we recommend this journal to the horticultural class, be- cause it specializes particularly in those things which pertain to the fruit and vegetable growers. Signed M. D. BUSKIRK, J. P. MUNSON. FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 177 Chairman: The executive board has been doing some work and I think it will be appropriate to take up this business and consider this matter at this time, and that is the raising of money. We will call on Mr. Merritt of Manistee to present the matter. Mr. Merritt: Mr. Chairman, I will say that we had a meeting of the Executive Board Monday evening and in talking over the finances of the State Horticultural Society, what seemed to be most apparent to the members of the board is that this Society needs a meal ticket. Anybody can get along all right until we run out of a meal ticket, and then we are liable to go on to the rocks. The State Horticultural Society used to receive a liberal appropriation from the State, but we don’t have that any longer. I have just listened to the report of Mr. Satterlee. If it were not for the Lyon Memorial Fund, this society would not be in as good condition as it is and I wish to state to the members of this Society, that if it were not for the Lyon Memorial Fund, this society would be on the rocks. This fund amounts approximately to $8,000, invested in good se- curities and Experimental State property at South Haven, worth $5,000 more. We derive something like 5% interest from our securities, or $400 a year. And we receive rent from South Haven property of $275 more, which makes our income $675 from the Lyon Memorial Fund. This Lyon Memorial Fund, should be made the foundation of a perma- nent fund for this Society, and at the meeting of our Executive Board a committee was appointed to figure out some way to increase this fund and have a permanent fund. We would like to say to you that you make it $50,000 instead of only about $13,000; this would give us an income of $2,500 a year. We drafted the following resolutions: Resolved, That a Committee of three men be appointed by the Presi- dent and Secretary in each fruit growing county of Michigan, the first named to act as chairman, to solicit Life Memberships to The State Horticultural Society during the year 1916; That such Committee also report to the Secretary the names and ad- dresses of all the fruit growers in said counties; That a circular letter in the name of the President and Secretary be mailed to all said fruit growers soliciting Life Memberships—by the Secretary ; ; That the Life Membership fee be increased two years from date to ten dollars; That-the annual dues be increased two years from date to two dol- lars ; That the circular letter above referred to states that the object of the Life Memberships solicited is for the creating of a permanent fund for the support of the State Society. Signed J. E. MERRITT, HENRY SMITH, Cc. A. BINGHAM. This resolution was adopted with the idea of submitting it today to the Society and I wish to make a few remarks: 23 178 STATH HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. We have in the State of Michigan 40,000 fruit growers and less than 2,000 of them are members of this Society. Anyone paying a Life Membership in this Society will get the annual report and it is my opinion that a campaign should be inaugurated to secure 1,000 Life Memberships during the year 1916. This would bring us in $5,000 to to be added to the fund which we already have. Another $5,000 should be secured in the next year, making $10,000, and when we secure this money, it is not for the purpose of blowing it it. but of putting it in the hands of the trustees of the Lyon Memorial Fund, to be invested in securities for the eternal and permanent bene- fit and support of this Society. We should have a secretary who gives his entire time throughout the year to this Society and to the promulgation of its interests. Now in regard to the raising of this money, I am of the opinion that that in my own county, Manistee, we can sell or secure 100 member- ships. Now we have 80 counties in which to secure these members, and by instituting an organized campaign, after we get through with Manis- tee, just go down into Mason county, and tell them that we have got 100 members in Manistee, and I think they will be ashamed of them- selves, and come across with another 100 without any difficulty. And then we can go into other counties—in this county in which is situated the city of Grand Rapids. I am proud of this city for the reason that they do things. Look at the Masonic Temple—The Pantlind Hotel, the Y. M. C. A. Building. If you want to name in four letters the public spirit of this city you can name it in the four letters Y. M. C. A. I believe that right here in Grand Rapids, we should raise a good liberal amount to add to this fund. I do not mean that it should be raised wholly among fruit growers, for I believe there are others among the business men of the city, who are interested in the Horticultural de- velopment of the country, and will contribute in this way to its mainte- nance and support. Take the Michigan Development Bureau, which has done _ such wonderful work. During the last five years it has raised by contribu- tion in the State of Michigan over $50,000 and spent this money in the development of western Michigan. There are hundreds and thousands of men who are going into Horticulture in the western part of the State, and they need the aid and benefit of the counsel and advice and books of this Society. Then in northern Michigan there are a large number of members, prospective members—all that would be necessary to get them would be to solicit them and have them see and understand the benefits to be derived from being in touch with this association. It was our idea to keep the Life Membership of *5 for two years, then increase it to $10; keep it there for two years more, and then increase it to $25; they charge $2 a year membership in New York. I believe that this plan is practical, and that by it we can get $50,000 into this Lyon Memorial Fund by a campaign of intelligent work in a few years, and then this Society will be on a permanent footing ask- ing no favors. I therefore recommend that this resolution be adopted. Mr. Garfield: If the Masonic people can go out and get $100,000 among the Masons for the building of their Temple, I don’t see why the same thing cannot be done by the Horticultural people of this State, os Peach orchard at ‘Oak Crest.’’ Farm Secretary Smythe at Benton Harbor, Mich, FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 179 for there is no Masonic Temple that can do any more for the Masons than the Temple of Horticulture can do for the Horticulturalists of the State of Michigan Mr. Merritt’s resolution was put to a vote and was carried unsni- mously. The annual election of officers was next held and the following officers were elected: President—Charles A. Pratt. Secretary—Robt. A. Smythe. Treasurer—Henry Smith. Executive Board Members for three years: Mr. E. O. Ladd, of Old Mission; Mr. Chas. A. Bingham, Birmingham. 180 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS.
