  The 
  Chairman: 
  Ladies 
  and 
  Gentlemen: 
  If 
  you 
  will 
  come 
  to 
  

   order, 
  we 
  will 
  begin 
  the 
  meeting 
  of 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Asso- 
  

   ciation, 
  It 
  is 
  unfortunate 
  that 
  our 
  president 
  is 
  called 
  away 
  on 
  im- 
  

   portant 
  business. 
  He 
  has 
  asked 
  me 
  to 
  take 
  his 
  place 
  and 
  we 
  will 
  do 
  

   the 
  best 
  we 
  can. 
  I 
  will 
  ask 
  the 
  secretary 
  to 
  read 
  a 
  communication. 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary 
  : 
  I 
  have 
  this 
  telegram 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage, 
  our 
  

   president 
  : 
  

  

  "Please 
  express 
  to 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association 
  my 
  

   profound 
  regrets 
  that 
  I 
  cannot 
  be 
  with 
  them. 
  No 
  organization 
  has 
  

   ever 
  been 
  formed 
  that 
  contained 
  finer 
  and 
  more 
  sincere 
  men 
  than 
  

   ours. 
  I 
  invite 
  thfe 
  Association 
  to 
  come 
  to 
  Indiana 
  next 
  year. 
  I 
  will 
  

   take 
  you 
  along 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Wabash, 
  the 
  Ohio 
  and 
  Green 
  River, 
  

   where 
  the 
  pecan 
  trees 
  grow 
  so 
  big 
  that 
  the 
  sun 
  has 
  to 
  go 
  around. 
  I 
  

   send 
  best 
  wishes 
  for 
  a 
  successful 
  meeting. 
  '

  The 
  Chairman: 
  Mr. 
  Pomeroy 
  has 
  kindly 
  consented 
  to 
  give 
  us 
  

   a 
  talk 
  on 
  walnuts.

  When 
  our 
  secretary 
  asked 
  me 
  to 
  prepare 
  a 
  paper 
  on 
  this 
  subject, 
  

   I 
  thought 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  very 
  simple, 
  but 
  after 
  making 
  a 
  beginning 
  I
