 ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND RESOLUTIONS 



Wednesday Afternoon, Sept. 23, 1925 — Pres. Weber in tlie Chair. 



Motion b}' Mr. Reed that we reconsider the decision that was made 

 on Monday, witliout having heard from Dr. Colby or the University, 

 and that we leave the place of meeting, and the type of meeting we 

 shall have, in the hands of the executive committee, the newly elected 

 president, vice-president, Dr. Colby and-the board of directors. 



Carried. 



The following resolutions were adopted: 



RESOLVED, That this association take definite steps towards 

 creating interest in nut growing in the state agricultural colleges, to 

 the end that the nut trees of the slates be preserved 'and to the end 

 that a practical nut industry be established. That a strong com- 

 mittee of twelve members be appointed to endeavor to secure im- 

 mediately the active co-operation of the agricultural colleges and that 

 the state governments be enlisted in this work. 



Mr. C. A. Reed's wide acquaintance with nut growers in all parts 

 of the country, liis fund of information, his simple hearted interest 

 in the subject and his vision of our needs have led to the successful 

 outcome of the St. Louis meeting of the Northern Nut Growers Asso- 

 ciation. In view of these facts it is proposed that we extend to Mr. 

 Reed a formal vote of thanks in appreciation of services rendered. 



Carried. 



For two years the destinies of the Northern Nut Growers' Asso- 

 ciation have been directed wisely and with outstanding loyalty, by 

 Mr. Harry R. Weber. The sincere appreciation of the Association of 

 Mr. Weber's services is hereby recorded. 



The Association is especially grateful also, to the unusual number 

 of persons prominent in their several lines, who have come to the 

 convention, some of them from long distances, and by who their ex- 

 cellent addresses have greatly interested and enlightened all in at- 

 tendance. 



To the citizens of St. Louis generally, to the local convention and 

 publicity bureau for unprecedented publicity, to the earnest, tireless, 

 markedly successful welcoming and pronounced courtesy of Hon. 

 Frank H. Wielandy, to the management of the headquarters hotel 

 and to the press of St. Louis, the Association extends sincere and 

 hearty thanks.
