strawberry. The Reverend Mr. Reisenour (?) is the originator of the
strawberry, and he thought it was a thrifty, strong, healthy plant and
would stand the name of Dunlap, so he gave it to the strawberry.
(Laughter and Applause.)

The President: I stand corrected. I have been misinformed, although I
think you carry the honor. Our time is up. I have been requested to
announce that the lantern talk given by Mrs. James Jennison will take
place at the close of the Woman's Auxiliary meeting. Some very talented
ladies are to speak this afternoon, and I hope you will all stay and
listen to them. I will now turn the meeting over to the Women's
Auxiliary and request Mrs. F. M. Powers, who will preside, to take the
chair.

Mrs. Powers: Just a continuation, I hope, of our good program that was
begun this afternoon, and we will now listen to Mrs. Clarence Wedge, of
Albert Lea, on the "Value of Horticulture to the Farm." Mrs. Wedge is
not a stranger to horticulture nor to this society. (See index.)

Mrs. Powers: Some one has said that the enemy of art is the enemy of
nature, and art is nothing more than the highest sagacity and attainment
of human nature. We have with us Mrs. Cyrus W. Wells, who has had
considerable experience in this line and will give us the practical
side.

Mrs. Wells spoke on "Art Made Practical."

Mrs. Powers: "The Day's Work," by Mrs. John B. Irwin.

Mrs. Powers: According to our program we were to have one speaker
tomorrow morning because we thought she could not be here at this time,
but Mrs. Dunlap is here and will favor us now, if you please.

Talk by Mrs. A. M. Dunlap on "Better Methods in the Home."

Mrs. Powers: The last number on our program will be "The Highway
Beautiful," by Mrs. Jennison.

Mrs. Jennison gave a lantern talk.

President Cashman: We have a very important question to be considered
this afternoon, and, fortunately for us, it is going to be taken care of
by one of our best men--"Breeding for Hardiness"--something this
gentleman has been doing all his life. He has met with a great deal of
success, and we are profiting by it. That gentleman is Professor N. E.
Hansen, of Brookings, South Dakota. (Applause.) (See index.)

The President: Mr. C. E. Older has some suggestions to make, and we will
give him an opportunity to talk at this time.

Mr. Older: Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen: In a meeting of some
of the leading exhibitors of the state fair yesterday
