  diagonally 
  down 
  from 
  one 
  side, 
  thrusting 
  the 
  fuse 
  bearing 
  the 
  cap 
  

   through 
  that, 
  and 
  then 
  making 
  a 
  hole 
  diagonally 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  side 
  

   and 
  thrusting 
  the 
  cap 
  in 
  it. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Evans: 
  We 
  do 
  not 
  advocate 
  using 
  that 
  method 
  because 
  

   dynamite 
  will 
  become 
  ignited 
  from 
  the 
  fuse 
  and 
  will 
  burn. 
  To 
  be 
  

   frank 
  with 
  you 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  method 
  we 
  use, 
  but 
  the 
  company 
  does 
  

   not 
  approve 
  of 
  it 
  and 
  we 
  should 
  not 
  use 
  it. 
  You 
  are 
  liable 
  to 
  have 
  

   a 
  misfire. 
  In 
  warm 
  weather 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  danger 
  but 
  in 
  cold 
  weather 
  

   don't 
  use 
  it. 
  The 
  best 
  method 
  is 
  to 
  bore 
  right 
  in 
  at 
  an 
  angle 
  of 
  

   forty-five 
  degrees. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  Do 
  you 
  advise 
  us 
  to 
  use 
  dynamite? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Evans 
  : 
  Yes, 
  we 
  have 
  men 
  making 
  a 
  business 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  To 
  be 
  frank 
  with 
  you 
  I 
  don't 
  like 
  to 
  use 
  it. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Evans: 
  Dynamite 
  is 
  not 
  dangerous. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  caps, 
  though 
  

   they 
  look 
  safe. 
  It 
  is 
  that 
  white 
  stuff 
  in 
  the 
  dynamite 
  cap. 
  There 
  

   is 
  where 
  the 
  danger 
  is. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  We 
  will 
  stand 
  adjourned 
  until 
  1 
  o'clock. 
  

  

  Re-convened 
  at 
  1 
  p. 
  m. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  I 
  will 
  ask 
  W. 
  C. 
  Reed 
  to 
  state 
  something 
  of 
  his 
  

   program 
  for 
  Saturda}" 
  so 
  the 
  members 
  may 
  know 
  about 
  it. 
  - 
  

  

  W. 
  C. 
  Reed: 
  Our 
  plans 
  for 
  Saturday 
  morning 
  are

  we 
  are

  be 
  in 
  waiting 
  there 
  to 
  take 
  all 
  the 
  party 
  out 
  to 
  the 
  

   nurseries 
  and 
  get 
  back 
  to 
  the 
  station 
  for 
  the 
  2 
  o'clock 
  train 
  going 
  

   north 
  to 
  Oaktown, 
  where 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  automobiles 
  in 
  waiting 
  to 
  

   take 
  us 
  out 
  to 
  see 
  the 
  original 
  Busseron 
  and 
  Indiana 
  trees, 
  coming 
  

   back 
  to 
  Oaktown 
  in 
  time 
  for 
  the 
  6:40 
  train 
  south, 
  arriving 
  in 
  Vin- 
  

   cennes 
  at 
  7:07, 
  or 
  the 
  train 
  north 
  out 
  of 
  Oaktown 
  to 
  Terre 
  Haute, 
  

   to 
  connect 
  for 
  Pittsburgh 
  over 
  the 
  Pennsylvania 
  Lines 
  or 
  Big 
  Four 
  

   if 
  anyone 
  wants 
  to 
  go 
  that 
  way. 
  We 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  have 
  everyone 
  

   go 
  with 
  us 
  Saturday, 
  if 
  possible, 
  and 
  would 
  also 
  like 
  to 
  know 
  some- 
  

   time 
  this 
  afternoon 
  before 
  we 
  adjourn 
  how 
  many 
  are 
  going, 
  so 
  I 
  can 
  

   notify 
  them 
  tonight 
  how 
  many 
  automobiles 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  needed 
  at 
  

   each 
  point. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  That 
  is 
  rather 
  an 
  important 
  visit 
  for 
  the 
  mem- 
  

   bers 
  to 
  make 
  for 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  reasons. 
  Those 
  of 
  you 
  who 
  haven't 
  

   had 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  seeing 
  the 
  pecan 
  propagated 
  in 
  Mr. 
  McCoy's 
  

   nursery 
  will 
  get 
  a 
  chance 
  to 
  see 
  Mr. 
  Reed's 
  nursery; 
  and 
  you 
  will 
  

   get 
  to 
  see 
  the 
  parent 
  trees 
  of 
  two 
  good 
  northern 
  varieties. 
  We 
  

   know 
  very 
  much 
  depends 
  on 
  the 
  location 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  parent 
  tree, 
  

   notwithstanding 
  it 
  is 
  sometimes 
  said 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  location 
  of 
  the 
  nursery
