  it, 
  and 
  the 
  product 
  of 
  that 
  tree 
  goes 
  to 
  the 
  Government, 
  he 
  

   giving 
  his 
  labor 
  instead 
  of 
  paying 
  taxes. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Smith: 
  I 
  was 
  merely 
  pleading 
  for 
  the 
  continuation 
  and 
  

   spread 
  of 
  that 
  work, 
  both 
  geographically 
  and 
  in 
  increasing 
  the 
  

   varieties 
  of 
  trees. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Lake: 
  I 
  am 
  heartily 
  in 
  favor 
  of 
  that, 
  but 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  

   ought 
  to 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  a 
  committee. 
  I 
  want 
  Prof. 
  Smith 
  to 
  

   write 
  it 
  out 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  letter. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Smith 
  : 
  I 
  am 
  glad 
  you 
  called 
  my 
  attention 
  to 
  that. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Lake: 
  The 
  Government 
  and 
  the 
  states 
  are 
  now 
  en- 
  

   gaged 
  in 
  such 
  work 
  and 
  this 
  ought 
  to 
  give 
  it 
  impetus. 
  I 
  think 
  

   that 
  the 
  time 
  and 
  labor 
  of 
  the 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association, 
  since 
  

   its 
  organization, 
  will 
  have 
  been 
  well 
  spent 
  if 
  we 
  succeed 
  in 
  bring- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  fructification 
  this 
  one 
  resolution. 
  I 
  want 
  also 
  to 
  suggest 
  

   that 
  Prof. 
  Smith 
  include 
  among 
  the 
  nuts, 
  the 
  beechnut, 
  because 
  

   there's 
  more 
  meat 
  in 
  beechnuts 
  for 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  shell 
  than 
  

   any 
  other 
  nut 
  we 
  grow. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  If 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  further 
  discussion, 
  we 
  will 
  

   have 
  now 
  to 
  spend 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  in 
  Executive 
  Committee 
  work. 
  

   I 
  think 
  we 
  will 
  ask 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  Nominatiilg 
  Committee 
  appointed 
  

   first. 
  Mr. 
  Rush, 
  will 
  you 
  kindly 
  read 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  

   the

  you 
  proposed 
  to 
  act 
  as 
  a 
  Nominating 
  Committee 
  ?

  then 
  moved 
  that

  be
