  class 
  journal 
  will 
  indicate 
  to 
  the 
  nut 
  grower 
  the 
  place 
  the 
  American 
  

   Nut 
  Journal 
  should 
  occupy 
  in 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  nut 
  culture. 
  It 
  

   is 
  unnecessary 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  co-operation 
  between 
  the 
  editor 
  and 
  

   those 
  in 
  the 
  industry 
  is 
  essential, 
  and 
  for 
  that 
  reason 
  all 
  should 
  

   feel 
  free 
  to 
  exchange 
  views 
  through 
  this 
  medium. 
  Aside 
  from 
  the 
  

   practical 
  benefit 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  to 
  the 
  individual, 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  constant 
  source 
  

   of 
  publicity 
  for 
  the 
  organized 
  effort 
  represented 
  in 
  an 
  association 
  of 
  

   nut 
  growers 
  — 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  through 
  publicity 
  that 
  an 
  industry 
  develops. 
  

  

  To 
  deserve 
  the 
  co-operation 
  of 
  all 
  in 
  the 
  industry 
  the 
  management 
  

   of 
  the 
  class 
  publication 
  representing 
  it 
  must 
  determine 
  what 
  is 
  the 
  

   highest 
  and 
  largest 
  function 
  of 
  the 
  field 
  which 
  it 
  serves 
  and 
  then 
  

   strive 
  in 
  every 
  legitimate 
  way 
  to 
  promote 
  that 
  function. 
  

  

  To 
  deserve 
  the 
  manifold 
  advantages 
  which 
  such 
  a 
  publication 
  

   affords 
  it 
  is 
  incumbent 
  upon 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  industry, 
  on 
  their 
  part, 
  

   to 
  make 
  it 
  possible 
  through 
  their 
  subscriptions 
  and 
  through 
  their 
  

   advertising 
  to 
  maintain 
  such 
  a 
  medium. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  if 
  

   there 
  were 
  no 
  such 
  publication 
  every 
  loyal 
  member 
  of 
  this 
  associa- 
  

   tion 
  would 
  gladly 
  pledge 
  ten 
  cents 
  a 
  month 
  provided 
  some 
  one 
  

   could 
  be 
  found 
  who 
  would 
  expend 
  the 
  time 
  and 
  effort 
  to 
  provide 
  it. 
  

   Just 
  that 
  opportunity 
  has 
  been 
  presented, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  pleasure 
  to 
  say 
  

   that 
  many 
  have 
  appreciated 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  one 
  thing 
  that 
  would 
  get 
  results 
  

   for 
  you 
  better 
  than 
  a 
  good 
  periodical. 
  The 
  Department 
  of 
  Agri- 
  

   culture 
  issues 
  bulletins 
  but 
  that 
  department 
  cannot 
  go 
  into 
  the 
  

   journal 
  business, 
  the 
  business 
  of 
  publishing 
  my 
  opinion 
  or 
  someone 
  

   else's 
  opinion. 
  The 
  Department 
  of 
  Agriculture 
  must 
  confine 
  itself 
  

   to 
  the 
  summaries 
  of 
  facts, 
  and 
  that 
  leaves 
  a 
  gap 
  that 
  must 
  be 
  filled 
  

   in 
  by 
  some 
  good 
  periodical 
  properly 
  edited. 
  It 
  is 
  with 
  great 
  pleasure 
  

   that 
  we 
  see 
  the 
  American 
  Nut 
  Journal 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Olcott 
  is 
  putting 
  

   out 
  and 
  attempting 
  to 
  give 
  us 
  the 
  best 
  he 
  can 
  get. 
  The 
  chair 
  will 
  

   be 
  glad 
  to 
  hear 
  any 
  further 
  suggestions 
  on 
  this 
  subject. 
  

  

  W. 
  C. 
  Reed: 
  I 
  think 
  we 
  are 
  very 
  fortunate 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  journal 
  

   of 
  this 
  kind, 
  and 
  having 
  known 
  Mr. 
  Olcott 
  for 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  years 
  

   I 
  know 
  he 
  is 
  giving 
  the 
  people 
  a 
  good 
  journal. 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  is 
  customary 
  

   in 
  most 
  instances 
  for 
  all 
  trade 
  organizations 
  to 
  have 
  their 
  journal, 
  

   and 
  I 
  think 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association 
  

   ought 
  to 
  adopt 
  The 
  American 
  Nut 
  Journal 
  as 
  their 
  official 
  organ. 
  

   I 
  make 
  that 
  as 
  a 
  motion. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  I 
  second 
  the 
  motion. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  moved 
  and 
  seconded 
  that 
  we 
  adopt 
  

   The 
  American 
  Nut 
  Journal 
  as 
  the 
  official 
  organ 
  of 
  our 
  association.
