  The 
  President: 
  The 
  first 
  thing 
  on 
  the 
  program 
  will 
  be 
  an 
  invi- 
  

   tation 
  to 
  join 
  the 
  association. 
  For 
  the 
  purposes 
  of 
  our 
  organiza- 
  

   tion 
  we 
  need 
  members, 
  and 
  we 
  especially 
  need 
  anyone 
  who 
  has 
  any 
  

   interest 
  whatever 
  in 
  nut 
  culture. 
  The 
  membership 
  of 
  persons 
  

   joining 
  now 
  will 
  expire 
  on 
  the 
  31st 
  day 
  of 
  December, 
  1914; 
  the 
  

   membership 
  dues 
  are 
  $2 
  per 
  year, 
  which 
  includes 
  a 
  copy 
  of 
  the 
  an- 
  

   nual 
  report. 
  By 
  joining 
  now 
  you 
  get 
  this 
  report 
  and 
  the 
  three 
  

   preceding 
  ones. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  Mr. 
  Chairman, 
  may 
  I 
  say 
  something 
  regard- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  annual 
  report? 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  We 
  will 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  hear 
  you, 
  Professor 
  Close. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  those 
  who 
  pay 
  dues 
  for 
  

   1914 
  ought 
  to 
  receive 
  the 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  meeting 
  for 
  1914 
  no 
  matter 
  

   when 
  it 
  is 
  printed, 
  even 
  if 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  for 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  months 
  after 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  calendar 
  year. 
  In 
  that 
  way 
  the 
  reports 
  will 
  match 
  

   the 
  calendar 
  year; 
  that 
  is 
  they 
  are 
  the 
  reports 
  for 
  the 
  year 
  that 
  

   the 
  meeting 
  was 
  held 
  and 
  the 
  papers 
  and 
  discussions 
  took 
  place, 
  

   and 
  this 
  one 
  should 
  be 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  report 
  for 
  1914. 
  That 
  is 
  the 
  

   way 
  we 
  run 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  societies 
  and 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  there 
  

   would 
  be 
  no 
  confusion 
  at 
  all 
  if 
  it 
  were 
  managed 
  in 
  that 
  way. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  The 
  chair 
  very 
  heartily 
  agrees 
  with 
  that 
  sug- 
  

   gestion 
  and 
  thinks 
  that 
  should 
  be 
  the 
  practice 
  of 
  the 
  society. 
  The 
  

   chair 
  would 
  be 
  very 
  glad 
  to 
  entertain 
  a 
  motion 
  to 
  make 
  that 
  the 
  

   rule. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  I 
  should 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  motion 
  that 
  

   the 
  proceedings 
  of 
  the 
  meeting 
  of 
  each 
  calendar 
  year 
  be 
  reported 
  

   as 
  of 
  that 
  calendar 
  year 
  and 
  distributed 
  to 
  the 
  members 
  who 
  pay 
  

   dues 
  for 
  that 
  calendar 
  year. 
  

  

  (Seconded 
  and 
  carried 
  unanimously.) 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  Are 
  there 
  any 
  other 
  candidates 
  for 
  admission 
  

   to 
  this 
  society? 
  If 
  so, 
  hold 
  up 
  your 
  hands 
  and 
  our 
  distinguished 
  

   secretary 
  will 
  visit 
  you 
  immediately. 
  Are 
  there 
  any 
  committee 
  

   reports? 
  

  

  W. 
  C. 
  Reed: 
  The 
  committee 
  on 
  nomenclature 
  desires 
  to 
  report 
  

   as 
  follows: 
  

  

  Voted 
  on 
  the 
  Smith 
  and 
  Potter 
  resolution 
  to 
  recommend 
  changing 
  the 
  name 
  

   of 
  the 
  Busseron 
  pecan 
  to 
  Vincennes; 
  Posey 
  pecan 
  to 
  Wabash; 
  Buttrick 
  pecan 
  

   to 
  Illinois. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  opinion 
  of 
  the 
  committee 
  that 
  the 
  other 
  names 
  of 
  pecans
