in convention assembled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, September 14, 

 1926, go on record as favoring the planting of black walnuts generally 

 in black walnut territory, and that the association prepare a folder of 

 condensed information on the culture of the black walnut. 



The motion of Ur. Smith was seconded and passed. The com- 

 mittee was made up of Mr. Littlepage as chairman with Mr. Bixby, 

 Mr. Jones, Dr. Smith and the Secretary**. 



Meeting adjourned. 



A. S. COLBY, Secretary. 



**Secretary's Note: — The committee met after the business session 

 but learned through Mr. Reed that county agents, because of govern- 

 ment restrictions, probably could not act under such a letter. After 

 considerable discussion it was decided that the committee could and 

 should prepare a brief illustrated circular on black walnut culture for 

 general distribution. 



During the remainder of the session committee meetings were 

 held and the first draft of a circular prepared. The circular was 

 promptly printed and generally distributed. 



(The following is a copy of the circular as issued, omitting the 

 two cuts).

NORTHERN NUT GROAVERS' ASSOCIATION 



The Northern Nut Growers' Association has been studying the 

 varieties, propagation and growth of nut trees for seventeen years. 

 It now recommends the planting in orchard form of the better varieties 

 of grafted and budded native American black walnuts in those parts 

 of the country where the tree grows naturally.
