  Our 
  first 
  annual 
  report, 
  embodying 
  the 
  transactions 
  at 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  

   annual 
  meetings, 
  was 
  issued 
  in 
  May, 
  and 
  copies 
  were 
  sent 
  to 
  all 
  members, 
  to 
  

   the 
  principal 
  libraries 
  of 
  the 
  country, 
  to 
  officials 
  of 
  the 
  Agricultural 
  Department 
  

   at 
  Washington, 
  and 
  to 
  some 
  state 
  agricultural 
  officials, 
  to 
  several 
  agricultural 
  

   and 
  other 
  periodicals 
  for 
  notice 
  and 
  review, 
  and 
  to 
  various 
  persons 
  especially 
  

   interested. 
  Eighteen 
  copies 
  have 
  been 
  sold. 
  

  

  About 
  1,000 
  copies 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  circulars, 
  "Why 
  Nut 
  Culture 
  in 
  Im- 
  

   portant" 
  and 
  "The 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association 
  and 
  Why 
  You 
  Should 
  

   Join 
  It", 
  have 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  members 
  and 
  correspondents, 
  and 
  also 
  revised 
  cir- 
  

   culars 
  on 
  the 
  literature 
  of 
  nut 
  growing 
  and 
  on 
  seedsmen 
  and 
  nurserymen. 
  

  

  An 
  illustrated 
  article 
  about 
  nut 
  growing 
  and 
  the 
  association 
  appeared 
  in 
  

   the 
  Literary 
  Digest 
  and 
  many 
  agricultural 
  and 
  other 
  periodicals 
  have 
  had 
  no- 
  

   tices 
  of 
  our 
  association 
  and 
  our 
  meeting. 
  

  

  Besides 
  the 
  regular 
  notices 
  sent 
  to 
  members 
  and 
  papers, 
  different 
  notices 
  

   and 
  brief 
  statements 
  about 
  nut 
  growing, 
  were 
  sent 
  weekly 
  for 
  five 
  weeks 
  before 
  

   the 
  meeting 
  to 
  80 
  different 
  newspapers 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  country 
  about 
  Lan- 
  

   caster 
  in 
  the 
  hope 
  of 
  getting 
  a 
  good 
  local 
  attendance. 
  The 
  Pennsylvania 
  Chest- 
  

   nut 
  Blight 
  Commission 
  assisted 
  in 
  this 
  publicity 
  campaign 
  by 
  sending 
  postal 
  

   card 
  notices 
  to 
  about 
  a 
  hundred 
  persons 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  Pennsylvania 
  

   who 
  were 
  known 
  to 
  have 
  from 
  a 
  few 
  to 
  thousands 
  of 
  cultivated 
  chestnut 
  trees. 
  

  

  The 
  secretary's 
  correspondence 
  has 
  increased 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  become, 
  if 
  it 
  were 
  

   not 
  for 
  enthusiasm, 
  burdensome. 
  Often 
  several 
  inquiries 
  a 
  day 
  are 
  received 
  

   and 
  they 
  come 
  from 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  and 
  Canada.
