  that 
  very 
  thing 
  in 
  mind. 
  They 
  stand 
  six 
  or 
  seven 
  feet 
  apart. 
  I 
  have 
  

   got 
  to 
  settle 
  that 
  very 
  question 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  times. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Pomeroy 
  : 
  I 
  might 
  suggest 
  that 
  you 
  begin 
  the 
  fall 
  before, 
  and 
  

   take 
  a 
  whole 
  lot 
  of 
  time 
  in 
  digging 
  around 
  the 
  trees, 
  then 
  leave 
  them 
  till 
  

   nearly 
  spring, 
  then 
  finish 
  the 
  transplanting 
  before 
  the 
  ground 
  has 
  a 
  

   chance 
  to 
  thaw 
  entirely. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris: 
  I 
  believe 
  that 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  point, 
  if 
  you 
  will 
  do 
  

   your 
  cutting 
  early, 
  and 
  let 
  the 
  callus 
  form 
  well 
  during 
  the 
  winter. 
  Let 
  

   us 
  hear 
  more 
  about 
  that 
  particular 
  point. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Reed: 
  In 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  this 
  Association 
  is 
  trying 
  to 
  

   rectify 
  as 
  many 
  mistakes 
  as 
  it 
  can, 
  and 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  looked 
  upon 
  

   as 
  an 
  establisher 
  of 
  precedents, 
  I 
  make 
  the 
  motion 
  that 
  all 
  of 
  our 
  

   references 
  to 
  the 
  nut 
  just 
  under 
  discussion 
  be 
  to 
  it 
  as 
  the 
  Persian 
  wal- 
  

   nut, 
  and 
  not 
  as 
  the 
  English 
  walnut. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Pomeroy 
  : 
  I 
  second 
  that 
  motion. 
  (Carried.) 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  Let 
  us 
  hear 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Roper. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Roper: 
  I 
  don't 
  think 
  I 
  know 
  much 
  about 
  the 
  Indiana 
  pecan 
  

   trees, 
  except 
  what 
  we 
  have 
  been 
  doing 
  in 
  Virginia 
  with 
  them. 
  I 
  have 
  

   discussed 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  results 
  in 
  the 
  paper 
  on 
  pecan 
  trees 
  for 
  planting 
  

   in 
  the 
  North. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris: 
  Conanittee 
  appointments 
  are 
  as 
  follows: 
  Com- 
  

   mittee 
  on 
  Competition, 
  Messrs. 
  Reed, 
  Littlepage, 
  and 
  myself, 
  ex-officio. 
  

   Committee 
  on 
  General 
  Exhibits, 
  Messrs. 
  Barron 
  and 
  Roper. 
  Committee 
  

   on 
  Resolutions, 
  Messrs. 
  Reed, 
  Littlepage, 
  and 
  Schempp. 
  Committee 
  on 
  

   Membership, 
  Messrs. 
  Deming, 
  Lake, 
  and 
  Rush. 
  Nominating 
  Committee, 
  

   Professor 
  Craig 
  and 
  Col. 
  Van 
  Duzee. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake: 
  Does 
  that 
  complete 
  all 
  the 
  committees? 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  That 
  is 
  all 
  on 
  the 
  list 
  here. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake 
  : 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  suggest 
  one, 
  because 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  will 
  

   materially 
  help 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  bringing 
  the 
  nut 
  subject 
  before 
  the 
  people 
  

   in 
  an 
  effective 
  manner, 
  — 
  a 
  committee 
  on 
  score 
  card. 
  That 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  

   Ijasis 
  of 
  competitions, 
  and 
  when 
  the 
  nut 
  grower 
  gets 
  acquainted 
  with 
  

   the 
  score 
  card, 
  and 
  knows 
  that 
  is 
  going 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  judging 
  the 
  

   competitions, 
  he 
  knows 
  there 
  is 
  going 
  to 
  be 
  something 
  doing. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris: 
  That 
  is 
  a 
  rather 
  important 
  point. 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  

   to 
  have 
  the 
  matter 
  discussed. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Craig 
  : 
  I 
  think 
  the 
  idea 
  is 
  an 
  excellent 
  one. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  

   way 
  in 
  which 
  we 
  can 
  analyze 
  the 
  qualities 
  of 
  fruit 
  better 
  than 
  by 
  having 
  

   a 
  systematic 
  method 
  of 
  discussing 
  its 
  different 
  characters. 
  The 
  score 
  

   card 
  does 
  that, 
  — 
  separates 
  each 
  one 
  and 
  makes 
  them 
  stand 
  for 
  what 
  

   they 
  are 
  worth. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  unify 
  methods 
  of 
  judging 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  dif- 
  

   ferent 
  societies, 
  a 
  score 
  card 
  which 
  this 
  society 
  might 
  develop 
  and 
  recom-
