NOTES ON THE EARLY HISTORY, HORTICULTURAL SECTIONASSOCIATION SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL WORKERS

G H BlackmonWhen one looks back into the history of the Horticultural Section of the Association ofSouthern Agricultural Workers, one can realize the extensive changes that have come about insouthern horticulture The Section, in those days, was not affiliated with the American Societyfor Horticultural Science, and was considered solely as a Division of the Association ofSouthern Agricultural Workers as indicated The programs consisted of general topics and themeetings were held in one room Frequently there would not be over 25 or 30 attending theHorticultural Section, although occasionally it might reach as many as 40 interested inhorticulture.

In 1928, a typical program included a discussion on extensive landscape work;applications of physiological studies to horticultural problems; more economic direction inhorticultural workers; horticultural investigation by the U S Department of Agriculture;pruning apply trees; fertilizing fruit trees; fruit bud differentiation in the tung oil tree; economicfire heated hot bed, and certified Irish potato seed These general subjects were carried in twoafternoon of February 1 and 2, 1928, and the meetings were held in Atlanta

In 1931 there were discussions on fruit freezing; peach pruning, certain type of injury topeach and apple; apple pollination; moisture relation to horticultural plants; peach situation;selection of native blueberry; tung-oil; four papers on pecans, including test planting, terminalgrowth and blooming; variation of performance and general pecan studies; records on home andmarket gardens; amount of formaldehyde treatments; teaching landscape by the sand-boxmethod; road beautification; transmitting horticultural information; Fordhook bush lima bean;growth of asparagus, and one general address

During this early period, some of the horticulturists were active that are now even onthe retired list, or have passed on Professor J C C Price was Chairman the first session Iattended in Atlanta in 1925 Then, Dr T H McHatten was Chairman in 1927 Dr J R Cooperwas Chairman in 1930 There have been many of these old-timers who have held an importantplace in southern horticulture and have contributed to the development and growth of theindustry through the region They have been influential both from the standpoint of research aswell as disseminating information, training and direction of horticultural students who havegone through the classrooms

Dean E J Kyle, retired, Texas A & M College, who for many years was head of theDepartment of Horticulture at that College, took great interest in students in horticulture, andhad much to do with popularizing horticulture in Texas which was felt throughout the southernregion C L Isbell, of Alabama, did an outstanding piece of work with reference to the growthand improvement of pecans R A McGinty, of South Carolina, was noted for his interest in thefield of vegetable research, teaching and administration He did a great amount of work a fewyears before his death in connection with the Research and Marketing Act Regional Projects.Harold Mowry, in Florida, who worked in the field of horticulture for many years didoutstanding research with tung-oil, citrus fruits, deciduous fruits and ornamentals He did thefirst research work with minor elements on tung and citrus in Florida which changed the entiresituation with reference to their growth and production He later became Director of theFlorida Agricultural Experiment Station, now retired and is connected with the Point FourProgram as Consulting Director to the Minister of Agriculture in Costa Rica There arenumerous other old-timers about whom we could write, but these few will give a very goodidea as to the type of men who helped to build horticulture in the Southern Region and reallyput the industry on the map
