Record of meeting held in the secretary's office June 22, 1916.

All members of the board were present except R. A. Wright.

Mr. John P. Andrews was elected by the board as its representative in
connection with the assessment of damages on account of nursery stock to
be destroyed in certain Minnesota nurseries to protect from injury
threatened by a disease called "white pine blister rust."

Having under consideration the trial stations connected with the society
it was decided to discontinue the station located at Madison, Minn., and
locate a station at New Auburn, Minn., R. F. Hall, Supt., and another at
Deerwood, Minn., L. P. Hall, Supt.

The following resolution pertaining to Farmers' Institutes was
unanimously adopted.

"Resolved: That in our judgment the carrying out of the spirit
and purpose of the motion adopted by the Farmers' Institute
Board, Sept. 4, 1913, pertaining to 'the horticultural work on
each institute corps'--to quite literally--cannot be fully
performed except by providing for each institute corps some one
who should in whole or in part represent horticulture, and who
should be interested and willing to serve the Horticultural
Society as indicated in said motion; and further, that
reasonable opportunity for such service should be allowed at
each place where an institute corps may be working."

It was decided to appropriate $65.00 to be applied to the uses of the
Minnesota State Forestry Association.

The accounts of the Secretary from Nov. 30, 1915, to June 15, 1916,
amounting to $4,112.82, were examined and approved, and an order drawn
for the payment of that amount from the treasury, an equal amount to be
covered into the treasury from the hands of the secretary.
