worst he said as he left her, "Well, sister, I suppose that
we will meet Up There." And she looked at him and she said,

"Well, Parson, it's up to you." So from here on out now it's up to you.
Thank you. (Applause.)

MR. CHASE: Now I think we ought to have just a brief word from Gilbert
Becker, our new vice-president. Mr. Becker.

MR. BECKER: This was really a great surprise to me. It is humbly I tell
you this, because I was on the Nominating Committee myself, and that is
a very embarrassing position to be in, to find that I, as a member of
Nominating Committee, appear as an officer. But it was a pleasant
surprise, and in doing vice-president work I shall try my best, and I
shall surely spend much time and much thought to it. Thank you.
(Applause.)

MR. CHASE: Now, Bill Clark, will you come up here for a few words? Bill
will succeed Carl Prell as Treasurer and handle your finances during the
coming year.

MR. CLARK: Friends, I thank you for this honor and that you should have
enough confidence in me to trust me with your funds for the coming year.
I will do the best I can, and thank you very much.

MR. CHASE: There will be a joint meeting of the new officers and old
officers immediately after we adjourn.

George Salzer says the last time we met in Rochester was 1922, and we
figure the next time we will be here is 1984.

(Whereupon, the meeting was adjourned.)

Walnuts in Lubec, Maine

RADCLIFFE B. PIKE, _University of New Hampshire, Durham, N. H._

In the 1930's, when the Wisconsin Horticultural Society distributed
seeds of the Carpathian Walnut from Poland, my brother secured some and
we planted them. From these nuts we now have four trees, one of which
has been bearing for the last four years.

Lubec, Maine is located at the extreme eastern tip of the United States
just a few miles south of the 45th parallel. The site where the trees
are planted is on a peninsula extending out into the Bay of Fundy which
gives very low summer temperatures and moderate winter temperatures. The
night temperature in the summer is usually in the 50 deg.s F. with day
temperatures rarely reaching 80 deg. F. Winter temperatures seldom go to
-10 deg. F. and only lower than this about once in ten years. During the
early summer, fogs are usually heavy and continuous. Day length is, of
course, longer in the summer than in most of the United States but it is
similar to that of the Northern tier of States from the Great Lake
