 shipped two cars to Illinois and it cost me ten cents a bushel to ship them. 

 I can ship apples from New York to Alliance for just a little more than I 

 can from the eastern part of this state. So in order to compete with New 

 York we must ship cheaper than they do from New York, and right there, 

 in the shipping rates, is where we will have to look after the difference, 

 largely. 



Mr. Brown: Mr. Alexander's letter is a good one. I move that the 

 whole matter of plant breeding be referred to the Board of Directors with 

 power to act in conjunction with the Experiment Stations of the state. 



The motion was seconded and duly carried. 



The society then adjourned sine die.
