Excerpt from Proceedings of the Twelfth Annual Convention Held in Fruit Growers Hall, Bendersville, Penna. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 13, 14, 15, 1916It seems to me that we have an especially strong program this year, and I hope it will be of benefit to every member present, and that you can all attend every session. To those who are not mem bers I want to extend a hearty welcome to come as often as you can. And a most cordial invitation to join the Association and be one of us.In looking back brie¿y over the past year we find several achieve ments of the Association that might be worth mentioning. During the summer we entertained railroad representatives and newspaper men. In an automobile trip through as much of the fruit section as it was possible to cover in one day. About sixty people, in sixteen automobiles, participated in the run, traveling sixty-four miles and passing sixty-seven orchards containing apple trees, of which were bearing, and peach trees, of which were bearing. The object of this trip was to show the railroad officials what. They would be expected to move this year, and incidentally what they should prepare to handle in the near future. I believe we succeeded in impressing these facts, because when the time came to move the fruit we had better railroad facilities than we ever had before. I think they also realize what the fruit industry of Adams County is coming to mean and are taking steps to prepare for it. In a few cases this fall when scarcity of cars seemed inevitable, the Association sent a request to the railroad, stating conditions and ask ing that immediate relief be afforded, and very soon cars were sent in abundance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
