  Meeting 
  called 
  to 
  order 
  at 
  8:30 
  p. 
  m., 
  at 
  Evansville, 
  Indiana, 
  

  

  Professor 
  Smith: 
  The 
  members 
  of 
  this 
  association 
  have 
  al- 
  

   ways 
  got 
  to 
  be 
  on 
  the 
  lookout 
  for 
  good 
  parent 
  trees 
  of 
  any 
  and 
  all 
  

   varieties 
  of 
  nuts. 
  I 
  think, 
  however, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  shortage 
  of 
  informa- 
  

   tion 
  in 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  walnuts. 
  I 
  have 
  talked 
  to 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  persons 
  

   and 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  general 
  opinion 
  that 
  we 
  want 
  to 
  know, 
  and 
  know 
  

   quickly, 
  more 
  about 
  parent 
  trees 
  of 
  the 
  Persian 
  walnut. 
  I 
  there- 
  

   fore 
  move 
  that 
  the 
  chair 
  appoint 
  a 
  committee 
  to 
  give 
  this 
  matter 
  

   particular 
  attention 
  during 
  the 
  next 
  twelve 
  months 
  and 
  report 
  at 
  

   the 
  next 
  annual 
  meeting. 
  

  

  (Seconded 
  and 
  carried) 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  The 
  chair 
  appoints 
  the 
  incoming 
  President, 
  

   C. 
  P. 
  Close 
  and 
  C. 
  A. 
  Reed. 
  

  

  The 
  next 
  is 
  the 
  question 
  about 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  meeting. 
  

   It 
  occurs 
  to 
  the 
  chair 
  that 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  desirable 
  to 
  leave 
  that 
  to 
  the 
  

   executive 
  committee. 
  But 
  that 
  is 
  a 
  matter 
  for 
  the 
  association 
  to 
  

   decide 
  and 
  the 
  chair 
  will 
  entertain 
  motions 
  or 
  suggestions. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  C. 
  a. 
  Reed: 
  I 
  was 
  going 
  to 
  move 
  that 
  it 
  be 
  left 
  to 
  the 
  com- 
  

   mittee. 
  I 
  know 
  from 
  past 
  experiences 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  course 
  to 
  

   pursue. 
  

  

  (Seconded 
  and 
  carried.) 
  

  

  Colonel 
  Van 
  Duzee 
  : 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  very 
  much 
  to 
  extend 
  a 
  cor- 
  

   dial 
  invitation 
  to 
  the 
  members 
  of 
  this 
  association 
  to 
  meet 
  with 
  the 
  

   National 
  Association 
  at 
  Thomasville, 
  Georgia, 
  in 
  October. 
  We 
  

   have 
  a 
  program 
  full 
  of 
  merit. 
  Our 
  meeting 
  will 
  be 
  held 
  in 
  the 
  heart 
  

   of 
  the 
  nut 
  planting 
  area 
  where 
  all 
  the 
  pecan 
  planting 
  has 
  been 
  done 
  

   in 
  the 
  last 
  few 
  years. 
  We 
  have 
  several 
  fine 
  orchards 
  in 
  the 
  imme- 
  

   diate 
  vicinity 
  and 
  matters 
  of 
  general 
  interest 
  will 
  be 
  discussed. 
  We 
  

   would 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  have 
  anybody 
  that 
  can 
  meet 
  with 
  us, 
  and 
  if 
  

   you 
  have 
  friends 
  interested 
  in 
  nut 
  culture 
  we 
  will 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  have 
  

   them. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  It 
  is 
  unnecessary 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  the 
  South 
  has 
  

   forged 
  ahead 
  of 
  us 
  in 
  pecan 
  culture, 
  and 
  she 
  not 
  only 
  has 
  great 
  

   pecan 
  orchards 
  but 
  she 
  has 
  great 
  men 
  who 
  have 
  done 
  this 
  work 
  

   and 
  they 
  will 
  be 
  at 
  the 
  meeting 
  of 
  the 
  National 
  Nut 
  Growers. 
  I 
  

   have 
  had 
  the 
  pleasure 
  of 
  attending 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  meetings 
  and 
  I 
  can 
  

   say 
  to 
  the 
  members 
  here 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  well 
  worth 
  their 
  while 
  to 
  go 
  

   down 
  there. 
  

  

  Is 
  there 
  any 
  further 
  business? 
  If 
  not 
  we 
  will 
  have 
  Colonel 
  

   Sober's 
  paper, 
  after 
  which 
  the 
  pictures 
  will 
  follow. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Smith 
  : 
  I 
  am 
  sure 
  after 
  hearing 
  Colonel 
  Sober's 
  lecture, 
  

   and 
  seeing 
  his 
  pictures, 
  we 
  will 
  want 
  to 
  ask 
  him 
  some 
  questions.
