  part 
  of 
  February 
  when 
  we 
  had 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  warm 
  days 
  and 
  I 
  beheved 
  

   my 
  pistillate 
  hazels 
  were 
  about 
  ready 
  for 
  pollen. 
  I 
  got 
  those 
  

   branches 
  from 
  Rochester. 
  We 
  had 
  unexpected 
  cold 
  weather 
  and 
  

   storms 
  and 
  my 
  pistillate 
  hazels 
  did 
  not 
  bloom 
  until 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  

   weeks 
  later. 
  I 
  kept 
  these 
  undeveloped 
  catkins 
  that 
  I 
  had 
  received, 
  

   in 
  a 
  cold 
  dark 
  place. 
  When 
  I 
  wanted 
  to 
  use 
  them 
  I 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  a 
  

   jar 
  of 
  water 
  and 
  in 
  less 
  than 
  three 
  days 
  they 
  were 
  shedding 
  pollen 
  

   freely, 
  at 
  a 
  time 
  when 
  my 
  pistillate 
  flowers 
  were 
  ready 
  for 
  pollen. 
  

  

  Mb. 
  Mosely: 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  know 
  the 
  object 
  in 
  crossing 
  the 
  

   oak 
  on 
  the 
  chinkapin. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  My 
  idea 
  is 
  to 
  get 
  a 
  chinkapin 
  tree 
  twice 
  as 
  large 
  

   as 
  an 
  oak, 
  perhaps. 
  I 
  shall 
  hope 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  chinkapin 
  tree 
  as 
  sturdy 
  

   as 
  the 
  red 
  oak, 
  with 
  nuts 
  larger 
  than 
  acorns 
  and 
  of 
  as 
  good 
  quality 
  

   as 
  the 
  chinkapin 
  nut. 
  Of 
  course 
  that 
  extravagant 
  possibility 
  only 
  

   appeals 
  to 
  one 
  with 
  a 
  speculative 
  nature. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  Pursuant

  The 
  President: 
  We 
  have 
  a 
  few 
  minutes 
  before 
  time 
  for 
  adjourn- 
  

   ment 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Evans, 
  a 
  dynamite 
  man, 
  will 
  speak 
  to 
  us. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Evans: 
  Mr. 
  Chairman: 
  The 
  question 
  arises 
  as 
  to 
  what 
  

   Icind 
  of 
  dynamite 
  to 
  use 
  in 
  the 
  different 
  soils. 
  Most 
  pecan 
  land 
  con- 
  

   tains 
  clay 
  and 
  can 
  best 
  be 
  worked 
  by 
  dynamite. 
  Don't 
  buy 
  ordinary 
  

   dynamite, 
  because 
  it 
  is 
  too 
  high 
  an 
  explosive. 
  For 
  several 
  reasons 
  

   it 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  kind 
  of 
  an 
  explosive 
  you 
  wish. 
  In 
  some 
  places 
  dyna- 
  

   mite 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  put 
  on 
  the 
  market 
  as 
  many 
  people 
  are 
  afraid 
  

   of 
  it 
  and 
  so 
  the 
  word 
  dynamite 
  has 
  been 
  eliminated, 
  and 
  we 
  now 
  

   have 
  what 
  we 
  call 
  Red 
  Cross 
  Farm 
  Powder. 
  It 
  will 
  work 
  in 
  any 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  country, 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  high 
  explosive 
  and 
  the 
  price 
  is 
  lower
