s, of course.

PROFESSOR SMITH: Only touch in spots?

MR. WIGGINS: On top and bottom and on one side. I get cambium together
at top--I am careful about that--and then I get on the left side an
exact fit but not on the other sides.

THE CHAIRMAN: Have you had much experience with walnuts?

MR. WIGGINS: No. I should think the best results with walnut as well as
with pecans would be by cutting the scion wood the year before.

THE CHAIRMAN: This is certainly a very interesting discussion, but I
have another grafter here yet. A demonstration by Mr. Jones will close
this morning's session.

(Mr. Jones gave a demonstration of cleft grafting stating that he used
that method practically altogether.)

Through the generosity of one of our members the secretary was
enabled to issue the annual report, to have other printing done,

hickory bark borer called by the Commissioner of Agriculture of the
State of New York.

It is not likely that this gift will be repeated and it will be a
great misfortune if the means for publishing the annual report are
not found, as well as for taking up the present deficit of over a
hundred dollars.

Of course our membership is increasing rapidly and, in the years to
come, we should have members enough to pay our annua
