n where a large business house of Gerber and Sons was passed and a
short visit paid to a second planting in the rear of various Gerber
buildings, including the residence of Mr. Gerber. Here were some two or
three dozen fine appearing trees of various species and hybrid forms.

Lastly at Kidron, the party, was piloted a half mile west to a small
park which Mr. Gerber had developed as a public picnic ground and a
source of water for the village. It was well planted with nut trees and
it was here that the Gerber family had provided tables and various food
delicacies, including fresh milk, peaches and ice cream for everybody. A
great part of the work of preparation had been taken care of by Mrs.
Gerber and her two youngest children.

The next stop on the tour was at the Mahoning County Experiment Farm, a
half-mile south of Canfield, some 70 odd miles east and north of
Wooster. Here transportation was provided and the entire group was taken
in charge by L. Walter Sherman, Superintendent. The first impression one
gained here was that of good buildings, excellent land, able management,
and a lot of things under way. All is comparatively new. From a
mimeographed list of species, varieties, hybrids, and strains which was
prepared in June for another occasion, one gathered that there were
perhaps more seedling nut trees here than grafted kinds. Mr. Sherman has
reported fully elsewhere in these Proceedings regarding the nut work
that is under way at this Station.
