to be, you would get a year's advertising of
that matter, and could plan better thereby.

PRESIDENT REED: You have heard the motion.

MR. BIXBY: The only reason I had in making the suggestion I
did, was the possibility of one place or the other showing more
importance but as Mr. Reed said, we want to do all these places
mentioned at some time. It does not make much difference which we do
first. We should like to take first the place where there is most to be
seen, of course.

PRESIDENT REED: If there is no further discussion, all in favor
of accepting Mr. Littlepage's invitation for Washington for the next
meeting say Aye. Contrary, No. It is CARRIED.

J. F. JONES: The reason I did not push Lancaster is that some
experiments on spraying are being conducted there and it will be a year
before that will show up. The nut growers could see that better the year
following.

PRESIDENT REED: If there is nothing else, I believe we are
ready to turn over the gavel to our new president.

MR. C. A. REED: Mr. President, there is an important committee
you have not appointed. I was out of the room when Mr. Patterson
suggested this morning that a committee be appointed. Has that been
attended to?

PRESIDENT REED: I expected to let the incoming president
appoint that committee before we adjourn.

MR. SMEDLEY: I will make a motion that Mr. Patterson represent

appropriations for the work in hand.

J. F. JONES: I second the motion.

appointed to represent us before congress in connection with the
appropriation.

MR. PATTERSON: If everyone on the committee could go to
Washington as soon as we can get at the House committee for a hearing,
that would be the way to get action on the matter. Of course, the
endorsement of the Association is good, and if you could get a committee
of some one who could go down and help re-enforce it, there, we would
appreciate it very much.

PRESIDENT REED: I think the incoming president will be one who
will be going down. If he will come forward, I am ready to turn over the
gavel.

At this point, Mr. Linton, the newly elected president, took the chair.

PRESIDENT LINTON: Ladies and Gentlemen I am sure that you will
all concede that I have not sought official position, and no one could
have been more surprised than I, when I was presented with the report of
your
