 President Smith stated that he had received a letter from Pro- 

 fessor Tracy, Secretary of the Mississippi Yalley Horticultural 

 Society, announcing that that society would have an exhibition 

 of horticultural products at Chicago the coming fall, and inviting 

 us to secure a full representation of Wisconsin fruits thereat. 

 The president thought, as it was designed to be a representation 

 for the Western States, we should take the matter into considera- 

 tion. Did not know as our finances would allow us to be at 

 much expense for this purpose, but we might encourage it in 

 other ways. 



After a brief discussion, the following resolution was offered 

 by Mr. Plumb, and passed : 



Whereas, The Mississippi Valley Horticultural Society have, through our 

 president, iavitedus to coutribute to the exhibition of our fruit at their next 

 meeting to be held in Chicago the coming autumn; therefore, 



Resolved, That we recommend our members to unite in a display of Wis- 

 consin fruits at their exhibition. 



A similar desire was expressed to secure an exhibition of the 

 fruits of the state at the Milwaukee Exposition, should an invi- 

 tation be received to do so.
