MEMBERSHIP. 



Mr. Wier — I move that the resolution passed at the last meeting 

 making membership one dollar be re-affirmed. 



Mr. Dunlap seconded the motion. 



Mr. Flagg — I made the motion that the $2 membership be retained ; 

 but the matter in order, as I understand it^ is the order of business 

 this afternoon. That question would not now come up properly until 

 the business of the afternoon has been disposed of. 



Ml*. Dunlap — Let us go on with the order of business on the pro- 

 gramme. If we get behind now, we will be hehind all the time. 



The President — The Executive Committee having duly considered 

 the question of inviting Major Powell to lecture before this body, 

 have concluded that it would scarcely be practicable, as it would 

 break in upon the business to so great an extent. 



Mr. Flagg — If the discussion of the apple list would be next in 

 order, I have about fifty copies of the tables of fruits that would be 

 useful to members. 



Mr, Nelson — In the programme for to-night something is said 

 about districting. I would suggest that it would be better to do it
