  Mr. 
  Reed 
  : 
  Mr. 
  Taylor 
  was 
  the 
  framer 
  of 
  that 
  rule 
  and 
  in 
  actual 
  

   practice 
  he 
  has 
  adhered 
  to 
  the 
  first 
  name 
  used, 
  and 
  did 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  

   he 
  was 
  secretary 
  of 
  that 
  society. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  Have 
  you 
  not 
  in 
  mind 
  the 
  rule 
  that 
  a 
  name 
  

   like 
  Posey 
  being 
  given 
  this 
  variety 
  no 
  other 
  variety 
  can 
  be 
  given 
  

   that 
  same 
  name. 
  I 
  think 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  rule 
  you 
  are 
  thinking 
  of. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Reed: 
  No, 
  but 
  that 
  is 
  true 
  too. 
  You 
  know 
  we 
  had 
  the 
  

   Sovereign 
  pecan, 
  and 
  after 
  that 
  name 
  had 
  been 
  established 
  Mr. 
  

   Taylor 
  wrote 
  up 
  that 
  variety 
  for 
  the 
  yearbook, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  had 
  

   been 
  changed 
  then 
  to 
  the 
  Texas 
  ProHfic, 
  but 
  he 
  still 
  retained 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  Sovereign 
  for 
  the 
  reason 
  that 
  it 
  had 
  been 
  called 
  that 
  before. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  an 
  organization 
  could 
  

   change 
  a 
  name. 
  I 
  think 
  the 
  idea 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  one. 
  Take 
  the 
  name 
  

   Indiana. 
  I 
  think 
  that 
  name 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  very 
  best 
  

   seedling 
  variety 
  that 
  is 
  a 
  native 
  of 
  that 
  state. 
  I 
  don't 
  know 
  whether 
  

   the 
  Indiana 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  one 
  or 
  not, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  now 
  too 
  late 
  to 
  change 
  

   that. 
  If 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  best 
  the 
  name 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  stick 
  to 
  the 
  variety 
  

   to 
  which 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  given, 
  even 
  if 
  later 
  on 
  better 
  varieties 
  are 
  found. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  I 
  know 
  there 
  are 
  some 
  extremely 
  fine 
  pecans 
  on 
  

   the 
  Illinois 
  River 
  because 
  I 
  have 
  some 
  samples 
  of 
  them, 
  a 
  good 
  bit 
  

   better 
  than 
  the 
  ones 
  we 
  have, 
  and 
  I 
  suggest 
  that 
  we 
  reserve 
  the 
  name 
  

   Illinois, 
  which 
  would 
  be 
  suggestive 
  of 
  both 
  the 
  river 
  and 
  the 
  state, 
  

   for 
  one 
  of 
  them. 
  I 
  know 
  the 
  nuts 
  are 
  there 
  and 
  I 
  think 
  they 
  are 
  

   very 
  fine. 
  The 
  Illinois 
  River 
  has 
  more 
  pecans 
  on 
  it 
  than 
  the 
  Wabash. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Deming: 
  I 
  second 
  the 
  motion. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  moved 
  and 
  seconded 
  that 
  the 
  

   matter 
  of 
  changing 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  these 
  nuts 
  as 
  suggested 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   Smith, 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  committee 
  on 
  nomenclature, 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  

   be 
  instructed 
  to 
  report 
  tomorrow. 
  

  

  (Motion 
  carried.) 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  We 
  have 
  with 
  us 
  this 
  afternoon, 
  the 
  state 
  

   entomologist, 
  Mr. 
  Baldwin, 
  who 
  knows 
  many 
  things 
  of 
  interest 
  to 
  

   nut 
  growers, 
  and 
  we 
  shall 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  hear 
  from 
  him. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Baldwin: 
  Mr. 
  Chairman, 
  and 
  Members 
  of 
  the 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  

   Association: 
  I 
  am 
  wholly 
  unprepared 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  talk 
  before 
  this 
  

   association 
  and 
  must 
  say 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  sufficiently 
  famihar 
  with 
  nut 
  

   culture 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  tell 
  you 
  anything 
  of 
  interest 
  along 
  that 
  line 
  

   of 
  work. 
  Your 
  discussion 
  relative 
  to 
  the 
  pollenization 
  of 
  plants 
  

   was 
  intensely 
  interesting 
  and 
  clear. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  use 
  in 
  trying 
  to 
  

   dodge 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  every 
  plant 
  has 
  a 
  father 
  and 
  mother, 
  and 
  that 
  

   father 
  and 
  mother 
  also 
  have 
  fathers 
  and 
  mothers, 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  we 
  

   have. 
  The 
  reason 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  just 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  you 
  is 
  because 
  I 
  have
