  but 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  product 
  of 
  Vincennes. 
  My 
  point 
  is 
  this, 
  it 
  gets 
  a 
  

   name 
  that 
  shows 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  northern 
  product. 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  going 
  to 
  

   fight 
  for 
  that 
  particular 
  name 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  growing 
  at 
  Vincennes 
  and 
  

   that 
  is 
  a 
  perfectly 
  good 
  reason 
  for 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  named 
  after 
  that 
  well 
  

   known 
  city. 
  Now 
  we 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  Posey. 
  It 
  grows 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  

   of 
  the 
  Wabash 
  and 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  named 
  the 
  Wabash. 
  Nobody 
  knows 
  

   anything 
  about 
  Posey 
  County 
  and 
  what 
  the 
  reason 
  is 
  for 
  the 
  name, 
  

   but 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Wabash 
  where 
  it 
  grows 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  famous 
  

   in 
  song. 
  We 
  can 
  hook 
  a 
  sign 
  on 
  that 
  pecan 
  that 
  will 
  sell 
  twenty 
  

   or 
  thirty 
  thousand 
  more 
  Poseys 
  than 
  are 
  sold 
  now. 
  Next 
  we 
  have 
  

   the 
  Buttrick 
  which 
  is 
  found 
  growing 
  in 
  Illinois. 
  That 
  is 
  the 
  reason 
  

   why 
  those 
  Buttrick 
  pecans 
  will 
  sell 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Illinois. 
  It 
  

   is 
  named 
  for 
  a 
  man 
  but 
  it 
  doesn't 
  mean 
  anything 
  in 
  the 
  world 
  but 
  

   women's 
  dress 
  patterns 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  good 
  name 
  for 
  a 
  pecan. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  A 
  change 
  in 
  a 
  name 
  like 
  Buttrick 
  to 
  Illinois 
  is 
  a 
  

   good 
  one. 
  Any 
  name 
  like 
  this 
  that 
  tells 
  by 
  itself 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  

   nut 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  North 
  is 
  worth 
  a 
  lot 
  to 
  the 
  people 
  who 
  want 
  to 
  sell 
  

   pecan 
  trees, 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  people 
  who 
  want 
  to 
  eat 
  pecans, 
  and 
  can 
  buy 
  

   them 
  reasonably. 
  Therefore, 
  Mr. 
  Chairman, 
  I 
  move 
  that 
  a 
  special 
  

   committee 
  be 
  appointed 
  to 
  consider 
  changing 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  these 
  

   pecans 
  and 
  giving 
  them 
  names 
  showing 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  northern 
  nuts. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  I 
  second 
  that 
  motion. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  moved 
  and 
  seconded 
  that 
  a 
  com- 
  

   mittee 
  be 
  appointed 
  to 
  consider 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  changing 
  the 
  names 
  

   of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  pecans. 
  

  

  A 
  Member: 
  Isn't 
  there 
  a 
  Vincennes 
  in 
  Europe? 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  There 
  might 
  possibly 
  be 
  more 
  suggestions, 
  and 
  

   we 
  should 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  hear 
  from 
  anyone 
  along 
  this 
  hne. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Reed: 
  I 
  agree 
  with 
  Professor 
  Smith 
  in 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  remarks. 
  

   We 
  have 
  a 
  walnut 
  called 
  the 
  Ontario 
  from 
  Greene 
  County, 
  Michi- 
  

   gan. 
  If 
  we 
  should 
  call 
  it 
  Michigan 
  that 
  would 
  indicate 
  where 
  it 
  

   came 
  from. 
  But 
  it 
  is 
  widely 
  known 
  now 
  as 
  the 
  Ontario, 
  and 
  would 
  

   it 
  be 
  best 
  to 
  change 
  its 
  name, 
  even 
  though 
  it 
  comes 
  from 
  Michigan? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  Wouldn't 
  it 
  have 
  been 
  better 
  to 
  have 
  called 
  it 
  

   Michigan 
  to 
  start 
  with? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Reed: 
  I 
  think 
  so. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  We 
  have 
  pursued 
  these 
  things 
  for 
  many 
  years 
  and 
  

   we 
  have 
  made 
  some 
  misnomers 
  in 
  naming 
  them. 
  I 
  think 
  it's 
  a 
  good 
  

   idea 
  to 
  change 
  them. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  I 
  am 
  very 
  much 
  pleased 
  with 
  the 
  idea 
  Professor 
  

   Smith 
  has 
  advanced 
  for 
  renaming 
  these 
  trees. 
  They 
  don't 
  mean
