  RESOLUTIONS 
  

  

  Passed 
  by 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association 
  in 
  Ses- 
  

   sion 
  AT 
  Rochester, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  September 
  1 
  and 
  2, 
  1915 
  

  

  No 
  chestnut 
  stock 
  should 
  go 
  out 
  unless 
  it 
  is 
  thoroughly 
  sterilized 
  

   by 
  some 
  satisfactory 
  method 
  and 
  tagged 
  by 
  proper 
  authority 
  tO' 
  

   show 
  that 
  fact. 
  

  

  States 
  that 
  are 
  still 
  clear 
  of 
  the 
  blight 
  are 
  advised 
  that 
  effective 
  

   quarantine 
  is 
  desirable 
  to 
  delay, 
  for 
  a 
  time 
  at 
  least, 
  the 
  spread 
  of 
  

   the 
  blight. 
  Four 
  infestations 
  of 
  chestnut 
  bhght 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  

   in 
  Indiana 
  in 
  July 
  and 
  August, 
  1915. 
  This 
  fact, 
  and 
  the 
  continued 
  

   spread 
  of 
  this 
  fatal 
  fungus, 
  are 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  reasons 
  for 
  this 
  recom- 
  

   mendation.

  Nut 
  trees 
  may 
  and 
  do 
  sometimes 
  come 
  fairly 
  true 
  to 
  type 
  but 
  

   they 
  do 
  not 
  come 
  true 
  to 
  variety. 
  Consequently 
  our 
  association 
  

   does 
  not 
  approve 
  of 
  the 
  sale 
  of 
  seedling 
  trees 
  under 
  variety 
  names; 
  

   and 
  this 
  association 
  further 
  recommends 
  to 
  all 
  journals 
  that 
  they 
  

   take 
  no 
  advertisements 
  for 
  nut 
  trees 
  if 
  such 
  trees 
  are 
  not 
  sold 
  under 
  

   conditions 
  that 
  clearly 
  comply 
  with 
  the 
  provisions 
  of 
  this 
  resolu- 
  

   tion.
