EEPOllT 01<^ AUDITING COMMITTEE. 149 



castiug auother vote for Mr. Yagci', Duly seconded. Bal- 

 lot cast and Mr. Yager declared elected. 



Mr. lieltzer: 1 have here a little two leafed pamphlet that 

 is recommended in this country, on the development of fruit 

 trees. Last summer I was out in the country and a (Swede 

 man took me out in his orchard to look at some trees that 

 had this paint on that is here advertised and is manufactured 

 in Mr. Yager's city. I looked at those trees. A few he had 

 painted, and they were absolutely beauties. About two months 

 ago I was out at the same man's place writing some in- 

 surance for him and the agent came and wanted me to buy 

 three or four boxes to use. He claims it does away largely 

 with spraying. Now if it is a good thing 1 say it ought to be 

 pushed and I am going to get some myself and try the ex- 

 periment. T want some information as to whether any one 

 has an idea that you can use this prepared paint. 



Mr. Yager: I haven't anything to do with this paint 

 business and I ain not agent for it. Some time ago I was 

 called in by these people that they might consult with me. 

 They tried to get me to recommend it, but I could not do that 

 without knoA\ ing something about it. They are making some 

 sort of a dope up there that they claim will take the place 

 of spraying, but when they told me that, I knew it was pretty 

 much of the nature of a fake, because up to date from the 

 literature I have read on that subject I know that if there was 

 anything of that kind discovered in this country we would 

 all know about it. I don't believe there is anything inanufac- 

 tured in our town or any place else, that will take the place 

 of scientific spraying. 



President Green : T have come in contact with this party 

 who manufactures this wonderful tree paint. It was brought 

 out in the first place by an old crank who claimed to get the 

 receipt from an Egv'ptian tomb. 



Mr. Atkinson: It must be so dead that the Egyptians 

 buried it.
