furnished by the State. An individual may be represented at this fair. 

 If you send fruit it -will have your name and address to show who grew 

 the fruit. Heretofore this has not been the case. If you have fruit that 

 you think is worthy of merit you will get full credit for it. This can 

 show in the county exhibit, and also in the State exhibit, so you see. 

 we can work together to advantage. One should have a number of 

 duplicates of the same variety, and I think we should have from three 

 to five car loads of apples in storage this fall for use until fruit comes 

 next year. As soon as it can be done the committee that has been 

 appointed this morning will issue sojne circulars of information in regard 

 to collecting exhibits. We will have to secure persons in different parts 

 of the State to oversee the matter in their immediate neighborhood. This 

 work will be voluntary. We expect to pay for fruit and getting it 

 together, but we can not give an exorbitant price. It is true we have 

 $5,000 but we will have to be economical to make it hold out. 



President Stevens: Has any other member a suggestion to offer be- 

 fore we adjourn for noon? The meeting is adjourned until 1:30 p. m. 



AFTERNOON SESSION. 



Tuesday, August 4th, 1:30 P. M. 



President Stevens: The audience will please find seats and we will 

 proceed with our program. In view of the fact that the flowers are 

 now here, I believe they should be judged while they are at their best, 

 and I will appoint the following Committee on Flowers: Mrs. Johnson, 

 Mrs. Burton, and Mrs. Evan Davis. 



The Committee on Fruits can take up the work just as soon as they 

 ascertain the fruits are all on the tables. I will appoint as this com- 

 mittee W. S. Ratcliff. .T. C. Thomas and E. Y. Teas. The first number on 

 the program this afternoon will be a recitation by Mary Elizabeth Mo- 

 zingo. (Thf little seven-year-old child spoke one piece and was recalled 

 for another.) 



President Stevens: The next thing will be a discussion of the Catalpa, 

 by E. Y. Teas, of Centerville. 



A Member: Mr. Teas will not be here until later. 



President Stevens: The next will be a recitation by Minnie Lunney, 

 of Summitville, and following this will be the suj3ject of "Children's Gar- 

 dens," by W. W. Woollen, of Indianapolis.
