ore northern locations under number, so that
the originator will be just as well protected, and it will add so much
to the value of the new seedling that he ought to be anxious to do it
instead of holding it back as is now done.

I move you that we have some arrangement whereby those drawing the
premiums for the first and second qualities, keeping qualities and
eating qualities, etc., shall be obliged to give to Mr. Haralson
something to work on, either scions or buds of those varieties, so that
they can be tested in that way and we know what they are, otherwise it
leaves it for any one to introduce a new variety just about on the same
ground that some other varieties have been introduced in the state, made
a nice, large thing for the man that introduced them to the public and
sold them but afterwards proved a great disappointment to almost every
man who ever planted them. I move that we make such an arrangement, and
we recommend that the state fair do the same.

Mr. Horton: I second the motion.

The President: It is moved and seconded that some arrangement be made
requiring people who enter seedling apples for prizes at the
horticultural meeting and the state fair to furnish scions or buds of
such varieties to the central station to Superintendent Charles Haralson
that he may determine whether the trees are hardy and suitable for this
climate or not.

Mr. Andrews: We need this provision so that Superintendent Haralson
could visit those trees and see what they looked like.

Mr. Latham: I move that this matter be referred to the executive board
to develop a workable plan to secure the purposes which Mr. Andrews has
in view.

The President: Do you accept that as a substitute?

Mr. Andrews: I would if it wasn't for this one thing. It was left that
way a year or two ago, and it hasn't amounted to a thing. I do not care
if it is left to the executive committee if Mr. Latham will vouch for
its being put through.

Mr. Latham: Don't you remember as the result of that action we prepared
forms to be used by those who examined the seedlings and decided what
seedlings should be further tested and all that sort of thing. We have
those forms for use if the committee wants to use them.

Mr. Andrews: Those ought to be so as to hold the premium money back
until we get some material to test.

Mr. Latham: I will say a few words. It is not such a simple matter as it
seems. Here come perhaps fifty people who have grown seedlings
