PROCEEDINGS. 155 



last summer, and during the State Pair week we drew up a 

 map. We have to gather so much information from all over the 

 state, and the western part particularly, that we simply cannot 

 give an intelligent report today. We have finally made up our 

 minds that we must have more time. That is the situation just 

 now. That motion should be that this committee be allowed 

 more time in which to do the work, also that the appropriation 

 of $200 be allowed to pay the expenses of this committee. 



Mr. Swan: I consent to that addition to the motion. 



The President : It is very important that the report of this 

 committee be made right. The people in the western part of 

 the state ought to know what is best to plant in their sections. 

 So it is important that whatever is recommended for them be 

 all right. It is going to take some work and time to do this. 



Mr. Masters: A difficulty arises here, and that is, the so- 

 ciety recommends certain fruits for these people, but when they 

 buy the trees, they don't know whether they are getting what 

 is recommended or not. 



A. J. Brown: I think we can all realize the force of Mr. 

 Master's remark on this question; but that don't have anything 

 particularly to do with this committee. The work of this com- 

 mittee is simply to find out what fruits are best adapted to cer- 

 tain sections of the state. We can at least tell the planters 

 what is best to plant and save them a little money in that 

 way. 



Mr. Yager: My observation has been that the former re- 

 districting of the state has been very poor. The districts have 

 been too large north and south. Varieties recommended for a 

 section may have been all right for one part of that section, but 

 not so for another part. The amount they are proposing to use 

 for this purpose probably will not all be used, but I think it is 

 well enough to give them a sufficient amount, and we will know 

 that it is judiciously expended. And it is up to the society to 

 find out to the best of their ability what is weU adapted to the 

 different sections of the state. 



The motion as amended — that this redistricting committee 

 be given more time and $200 be allowed for their expenses — was 

 carried unanimously.
