  has 
  seen 
  only 
  his 
  tree, 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  know 
  what 
  a 
  first 
  class 
  bearing 
  

   tree 
  is 
  like. 
  The 
  same 
  difficulty 
  would 
  arise, 
  to 
  some 
  extent, 
  in 
  

   your 
  suggestion, 
  Mr. 
  Riehl, 
  as 
  to 
  offering 
  the 
  prize. 
  That 
  is 
  per- 
  

   haps 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  methods 
  to 
  stimulate 
  interest 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  this 
  

   difficulty 
  in 
  the 
  way, 
  that 
  the 
  nuts 
  must 
  be 
  gathered, 
  and 
  the 
  tree 
  

   be 
  investigated 
  before 
  it 
  could 
  be 
  properly 
  authenticated. 
  I 
  have 
  

   had 
  people 
  tell 
  me 
  they 
  have 
  seen 
  pecans 
  from 
  certain 
  trees, 
  that 
  

   long 
  (measuring 
  on 
  finger). 
  There 
  never 
  was 
  a 
  pecan 
  grew 
  in 
  the 
  

   world 
  that 
  long. 
  The 
  question 
  before 
  the 
  house 
  is 
  the 
  appointment 
  

   of 
  this 
  committee. 
  Is 
  there 
  any 
  further 
  discussion? 
  If 
  not 
  those 
  in 
  

   favor 
  of 
  it 
  make 
  it 
  known 
  by 
  rising. 
  (Two.) 
  Those 
  opposed 
  

   make 
  it 
  known 
  by 
  rising. 
  (Seven.) 
  The 
  motion 
  is 
  lost. 
  Is 
  there 
  

   any 
  further 
  business? 
  If 
  not 
  we 
  will 
  stand 
  adjourned 
  sine 
  die.
