justice of our claim for a reduction of rates, and promtply put them 



into effect. Respectfully submitted, 



PETER YOUNGERS, 

 E. M. POLLARD, 

 GEO. A. MARSHALL, 

 C. B. PARKER. 



MR. PARKER: In this work the committee was very ably assisted 

 by W. G. Swan. 



MR. BROWN: I move that the report of the committee be ac- 

 cepted and the committee continued for one year. 



MR. BARNARD: I think this is a good proposition, as the pros- 

 pect is good for a big crop of fruit next year. This committee could do 

 considerable work yet for the good of the fruit business, and I move to 

 amend Mr. Brown's motion by having an appropriatiom of $100 added 

 for the committee to work with. 



MR. BROWN: I consent to that amendment. 

 Motion carried as amended. 



MR. MARSHALL: The committee which was appointed to divide 

 the state up into fruit districts and fix up a list of recommended fruits 

 has done the work and the Society has accepted the work. It may also 

 be necessary in continuing this committee for some few changes to be 

 made from time to time. 



MR. YAGER: I move that the committee be empowered to act 

 and make such changes as they deem necessary. 

 Motion carried unanimously. 



THE PRESIDENT: We will now hear from Professor N. E. Han- 

 sen of the South Dakota Experiment Station, on the subject, "Siberian 

 Crabs as a Hardy Stock for the Apple, in Nursery and Orchard."
