very excellent program which he completed. I think he should also be
thanked for the separate notices which he sent out, directing the
attention of the persons coming to and going from this meeting to the
nut orchards and other things of interest that may be seen on the way.

THE PRESIDENT:

I thank you. I might say that the suggestion for visiting interesting

THE PRESIDENT:
