A RESOLUTION was adopted by the growers opposing a bill recently Introduced into the state legislature that would prohibit 'irrigation from lakes, streams, ponds and other surface water sources when the water level is below normal. Wash O'Brien of Fennville, a former Soil Conservation Service official, charged that the state Water Resources commission la seeking to get the control of all water sources In its hands. He said the wording of the bill will bring even ponds and other bodies of water on private lands under state control. O'Brien said farmers are the specifia target of the bill. Another speaker, Harry Bell, small fruits specialist at Michigan State university, told the growers that the Robinson strawberry is still the best variety as far as south western Michigan growers are concerned.

He admitted better varieties are but said any replacement variety must "beat" the Robinson. Bell said the Robinson, develop ed by a Sister Lakes area grower, had long been snubbed by experiment stations and other government agricultural agencies. But it has still managed to become the fourth leading variety In the United States today, he stated. DON HARDEN, South Haven grower, declared that inadequate distribution and not overproduction has been the cause of peach marketing, troubles. Hydrocoollng, which is allowing riper peaches to be shipped to more distant markets, has given the Industry the means to achieve much wider distribution, he said.

Barden has used this Ice water cooling method on his peaches for the past four years. He declared yesterday he wouldn't stay in the peach business now without hydro cooling, unless some even better pre-cooling method. Is developed, BYRD, the featured speaker of the daylong meeting, the audience the American apple Industry needs to raise ten million dollars a year to turn the tide of decreasing demand for apples. Indirectly he called upon the Michigan apple men to join in this effort. He said 14 major apple states in the country could raise this sum.

Virginia, he said, is in the process now of raising its state ap ple tax from 1 cents a bushel to 4 cents. The Virginian singles out the orange industry, through immense promotional effort, as having back ed the apple off into the corner. Florida orange growers, he said. spend $7,000,000 a year for promotion and research. He accused the apple growers of the nation as "looking at our fellow apple growers as our competitors." Pointing to a population' of in the United States, Byrd said well over half of them never eat an aDDle.

Only about 40 million people eat apples in this country, he asserted, another 30 million nibble on them, and the remaining 100 million don't touch them.
