 promote the orchard industry of the state. The president of this 

 association shall be chairman of the legislative committee. 



We are in thorough sympathy with the extension work of the 

 College of Agriculture under Dean Leon S. Merrill. This work 

 is of great educational value to the people of the state who are 

 interested in better farming. We recommend its extension into 

 all counties and parts of the state, and that the legislature be 

 asked to grant such appropriations as may be necessary to secure 

 the full appropriation made by Congress. 



Resolved, That this society extend its thanks to the City of 

 Bangor and to the Bangor chamber of commerce for their invi- 

 tation to hold our annual meeting in this city, and for their 

 contributions and the contributions of the citizens of the city 

 which have helped make the exhibition entirely successful. 



We thank the railroads for favorable rates. 



W^e thank the press for extended and favorable notices of 

 this meeting. 



We thank the College of Agriculture and the Maine Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station for their great assistance in making 

 the exhibition successful.
