Resolutions endorsing flexible price
supports and marketing agreements
were adopted by the Empire State
Potato Club at its 14th annual convention recently in conjunction
with the yearly meeting of the New
York State Vegetable Growers' Association at Utica. Long Islanders
had a prominent part in the threeday program and the list of speakers included Favor R Smith of Riverhead , the club's retiring president;
Nat A Talmage of Baiting Hollow,
a director of the state-wide growers organization , and Harold E Tuthill , leading Southold producer.
Three resolutions of major import
were presented by the resolutions
committee, comprised of Ha rold J
Simonson of Glen Head , Elmer McCann of Chateaugay and Carl Eraerling of Boston , a member of the
State PMA Committee, and adopted
by the membership. One placed the
Empire State Potato Club on record
as approving the princi ple of the
flexible price support program , with
the added recommendation that
Secretary of Agriculture Charles
Brennan be requested to take steps
to protect eligible producers.
A second resolution , approving the
principle of marketing agreements,
recommends that the board of directors take action looking to "the
application of marketing agreements
in this area and coopera te with all
other groups in promoting such
agreements."
The club also recommended that
the State College of Agriculture at
Cornell secure sufficient personnel
"to adequately carry out research
and extension for the betterment of
the potato industry of New York
State."
Illustrated talks given by Mr Talmage and Mr Tuthill on labor-saving
ideas in Long Island potato growing
and harvesting proved to be one of
the most popular features of the
convention. Introduced by President
Smith, who briefly discussed differences in up-state and Long Island potato practices, they told of
the production innovations and mechanical aides they have developed
on their own farms to reduce labor
costs and turn out a better product.
Mr Talmage showed slides of potato combines, field and bin loaders

was taken by L B Skeffington , farm
writer for the Gannett papers, and
by Prof M C Bond. The latter also
