Committee. We all have evidence of what he has been doing.
Perhaps his program is sufficient to report.

Mrs. S. H. Graham is chairman of the Membership Committee. I think Mrs.
Graham is not here, so perhaps we can pass on.

Report of the Necrology Committee fortunately is blank.

Mr. McDaniel: There is one that I know of. Mr. Schuster of Oregon passed
away last winter.

President Davidson: I think that points out a little weakness in our
organization. The death of Mr. Schuster should have been reported and
some notice of it taken, perhaps.

Mr. Stoke, you are here as chairman of the Exhibits Committee. Would you
like to say something?

Mr. Stoke: I don't know that I have anything to say. The exhibits speak
for themselves back there. I wish to thank those who made contributions
to that exhibit, and some still came in this morning that you haven't
seen. I think it's been fine cooperation.

I feel an apology is due for not getting out more publicity on behalf of
the committee. I had hoped that another copy of _The Nutshell_ would be
out before this meeting so I could make another call for exhibits, but
it wasn't, and I didn't get my material in to our Secretary in time for
the earlier one.

Mr. McDaniel: I believe we did have a notice in the summer issue.

Mr. Stoke: Yes, there was a notice. At any rate, we have had exhibits
here all the way from Georgia to New York. I am not sure whether they
have any from Canada or not. I think it makes a very nice display, and I
certainly appreciate your cooperation.

Dr. MacDaniels: In connection with these exhibits, we were driving along
talking to Mr. Slate about the desirability of the Northern Nut Growers
Association sending an exhibit to the Harvest Show of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. That was done about ten years ago, and the
Society gave us a silver medal at that time. I know from talking with
Mr. Nehrling that they would be pleased to have such an exhibit put on,
and I think that if we could take much of the material from our exhibits
here and send it there that that would make an acceptable exhibit, and
we almost assuredly would get not only considerable publicity out of
that, because it would be an exhibit of the Northern Nut Growers
Association, but we might also get either a cash award or a medal. I
think if we work behind the scenes, if we preferred the cash we could
get that, which would be of some value to the Association.

Now, I speak of this
