Mr. Yager: Mr. Chairman, in view of the splendid talk 

 Mr. McCandless has given us on this subject of parks and also 

 in view of the good work he has done along this line I want 

 to suggest that he be made an annual honorary member of 

 our Society. 



Mr. McCandless: I wish you would remove that "honor- 

 ary" condition and let me pay my dollar the same as the 

 rest of you do. 



By a unanimous vote Mr. JMcCandless was made an annual 

 honorary member of the Society. 



President Green: The next subject on our program this 

 evening is that of "Evergreens," by Mr. C. S. Harrison, 

 of York.

A rich prairie farm is a canvas and the farmer should be an 

 artist, painting on it a beautiful picture. This can easily 

 be done if he gives the same attention to horticulture that he 

 does to grain and stock raising. The one is as important as 

 the other and should not be neglected simply because it \h 

 the fashion to ignore it.
