(6) To the Canterbury Nurseries for the pleasure of an oyster 

 roast and other courtesies. 



(7) To E. P. Wallis, Chairman of the arrangement committee, and 

 to the citizens of Easton generally for many kind attentions. 



(8) To our retiring President, Mr, S. W. Snyder of Center Pt., 

 Iowa, for efficient and faithful services during the tenure of his office. 

 Mr. Snyder has done excellent pioneering work in Iowa in locating 

 valuable strains of nut trees and in stimulating interest in the possibili- 

 ties of nut culture in his state. His work is much appreciated and this 

 is shown by the increased interest in nut culture in Iowa and other uiid- 

 western states. 



(9) To our Secretary, Mr. H. D. Spencer, of Decatur, 111., for his 

 enthusiasm and active support of the program of this association during 

 the past year. Mr. Spencer has been most enterprising and energetic 

 in promoting the planting of nut trees in Illinois and in educating the 

 people of his state along nut cultural lines. With his valuable experi- 

 ence of the past year we anticipate even greater achievement during 

 the coming year. 



The members of this Association also desire to express their regrets 

 at the passing of an old and interested member, Mortimer K. Wile of 

 Rochester, X. Y., and extend to the family of our late member our 

 sympathy in their bereavement. 



It was moved and seconded that the resolutions be adopted. 



The President: With no further business before the Association, 

 the motion to adjourn will be in order. 



Mr. W^eber: I so move. 



Adjournment was declared.
