118 AJMNUAL. KliJ^OKT OF THE Off. Doc 



MR. BRODIIEAD: I wish to take just a moment to introduce to 

 you my successor in office, Dr. E. E. Tower, of Susquehanna county, 

 and I hope that the members of this Board will extend to him the 

 same courtesies that they have always shown me. 



The CHAIRMAN: Is there anything further under the head of un- 

 finished business? If not, we will pass along to new business. 



MR. KAHLER: I thought perhaps it would be well enough to ap- 

 point a committee as was requested in Brother BIyholder's address, 

 and as I said, formulate some ideas that might be presented to the 

 Legislative Committee. I will venture the assertion that they will 

 be thankfully received. Perhaps it would be a good thing to hand 

 it in to the committee and let it be adopted or rejected. I move that 

 there be a committee of three appointed for that purpose 



The CHAIRMAN: I think it ought to come up in the form of a 



resolution. 



MR. KAHLER: Well, it is in the form of a resolution. 



The SECRETARY: Mr. Kahler's motion is to appoint a committee 

 to take into consideration the suggestion made by Mr. Blyholder as 

 to whether there is any needed legislation along the lines suggested, 

 which now requires our attention. If the Board thinks there can be 

 some better way devised by which the members of the Board shall be 

 elected, I think that we certaiulv will welcome it. It is entirely 

 competent to appoint a committee to consider this matter, this 

 committee to confer with the committee on legislation; or if 

 the Board is just as well satisfied, it can be left in the hands of the 

 Legislative Committee. The Legislative Committee is the commit- 

 tee appointed to consider matters of legislation, and the proposed 

 committee will be, in effect, a committee appointed to advise the Leg- 

 islative Committee. I am not sure but what we are entirely satisfied 

 with the competency of the Legislative Committee, and for this 

 Board to appoint a committee to advise them, perhaps might not be 

 altogether agreeable. If we refer the matter of additional legisla- 

 tion to the Legislative Committee, I think that will cover the whole 

 ground. I second the motion that the subject referred to by 

 Brother Blyholder be referred to the Legislative Committee; I un- 

 derstand that is Brother Kahler's motion. 



The motion was agreed to. 



The CHAIRMAN: Is there anything further under the head of new 

 business? And are there any other suggestions? 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, I am very much pleased with this e:^ 

 hibit that our friend Northup has brought here, and I want to sug- 

 gest, under the head of new business, the propriety of bringing in 

 samples of this kind from different sections of the State. If I had 

 brought samples of Northern Spy apple, they would not look like
