  Through 
  the 
  generosity 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  members 
  the 
  secretary 
  was 
  enabled 
  to 
  

   issue 
  the 
  annual 
  report, 
  to 
  have 
  other 
  printing 
  done, 
  and 
  to 
  represent 
  the 
  

   Association 
  at 
  Albany 
  at 
  the 
  conference 
  on 
  the 
  hickory 
  bark 
  borer 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  

   Commissioner 
  of 
  Agriculture 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  not 
  likely 
  that 
  this 
  gift 
  will 
  be 
  repeated 
  and 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  a 
  great 
  misfor- 
  

   tune 
  if 
  the 
  means 
  for 
  publishing 
  the 
  annual 
  report 
  are 
  not 
  found, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  for 
  

   taking 
  up 
  the 
  present 
  deficit 
  of 
  over 
  a 
  hundred 
  dollars. 
  

  

  Of 
  course 
  our 
  membership 
  is 
  increasing 
  rapidly 
  and, 
  in 
  the 
  years 
  to 
  eome, 
  we 
  

   should 
  have 
  members 
  enough 
  to 
  pay 
  our 
  annual 
  expenses, 
  including 
  the 
  pub- 
  

   lishing 
  of 
  the 
  report. 
  The 
  secretary 
  would 
  like 
  also 
  to 
  have 
  enough 
  to 
  issue 
  

   reprints 
  or 
  bulletins 
  from 
  time 
  to 
  time. 
  

  

  The 
  secretary 
  asks 
  for 
  instructions 
  in 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  this 
  difficulty 
  and 
  would 
  

   suggest 
  the 
  appointment 
  of 
  a 
  finance 
  committee, 
  not 
  to 
  include 
  the 
  secretary, 
  

   and 
  to 
  be 
  composed 
  of 
  persons 
  who 
  will 
  work. 
  

  

  There 
  might 
  be 
  a 
  similar 
  hard-working 
  committee 
  on 
  programme. 
  The 
  secre- 
  

   tary 
  is 
  willing 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  clearing 
  house 
  for 
  the 
  Association, 
  but 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  

   have 
  something 
  to 
  clear 
  besides 
  the 
  cloudy 
  results 
  of 
  his 
  own 
  labors. 
  

  

  The 
  secretary 
  has 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  over 
  six 
  hundred 
  names 
  of 
  persons 
  interested 
  in 
  

   nut 
  culture, 
  which 
  he 
  thinks 
  should 
  be 
  circularized 
  from 
  time 
  to 
  time 
  with 
  

   reprints, 
  or 
  bulletins, 
  setting 
  forth 
  the 
  importance 
  of, 
  and 
  the 
  advances 
  in, 
  the 
  

   art 
  of 
  nut 
  culture. 
  

  

  The 
  secretary 
  would 
  be 
  pleased 
  if 
  each 
  member 
  would 
  send 
  in 
  a 
  new 
  member 
  

   dm-ing 
  the 
  year, 
  would 
  send 
  an 
  advertisement 
  of 
  his 
  ovra, 
  or 
  some 
  other 
  person's.
