STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 7I 



The third meeting of the executive committee was held in 

 Auburn, August 13, when important matters relating to our 

 annual meeting in Bangor were discussed and acted upon. 



The membership of the society is on the increase. 



It would be a great help to the work of the secretary if full 

 post office address was given at the time of joining, and if he 

 were notified in case of change of address. 



The last meeting of the Pomological Society attracted a great 

 deal of attention outside of the state, as requests for the pro- 

 ceedings were received from different parts of the United States. 



With Maine's large crop of apples and the present market 

 conditions, it is only by persistent and patient efforts on the 

 part of the growers that they will be able to get their just 

 returns. 



Respectfully, 



E. L. WHITE, 



Secretary. 



Voted, that the report of the secretary be accepted. 



The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : 

 President, Wilson H. Conant of Buckfield; first yice president, 

 George A. Yeaton of Norway; second vice president, Lyman 

 K. Lee of Foxcroft; secretary, E. L. White of Bowdoinham; 

 treasurer, Thomas E. Chase of Buckfield ; member of executive 

 committee for three years, F. H. Morse of Waterford ; member 

 of Experiment Station Council, Howard L. Keyser of Greene; 

 vice president or representative to the New England Fruit Show, 

 Wilson H. Conant of Buckfield ; state vice president of Ameri- 

 can Pomological Society, Howard L. Keyser of Greene. 



A suggestion was made by L. K. Lee that the society offer 

 an additional prize in connection with the Gregory contest, 

 and on motion, duly seconded, it was voted to leave this matter 

 in the hands of the executive committee. 



On motion, duly seconded, it was voted that the member of 

 the Experiment Station Council serve as a visitor to the College 

 of Agriculture.
