Report of Committee on Cherry, Walnut, 

 Sycamore, Hickory and Pecan. 

 The report of tho committee on cherry, 

 walnut, sycamore, hickory and pecan was de- 

 livered verbally. It concluded as follows: 



We did not p<» into the matter very thorouglily. 

 Tlie consensus ^tf opinion was tltat we would rec 

 oinmend no chantie in prices and that changes in 

 rules would iie submitted to a committee for con- 

 sideration. While it may t>e a iiltie previous to 

 submit tills siiggestlfin we would say tliat the 

 nominating committee considered this matter 

 carefully and recommends a regular and perma- 

 nent committee on grading rules. Men thrown 

 fogeliier fiir a few liours we do not believe are 

 able to sift tlie fiuestions tiiorouglily and to rec- 

 ommend changes of value in llu' Iirlef time at 

 liieir dlspo-sal. 



Permanent Committee on Grades. 



On motion, in compliance with this rocom- 

 tnendation, a permanent eomtnittec on grades, 

 consisting of R. H. Vansant, W. M. Ritter, 

 F. C. Fischer. W. Tl. n.-nvkins and .T. W. hnvu 

 was appointed. 



J. W. I.,ove, chairman of the committee on 

 oak. :isli and chestnut gni(lin(r rules, said that 



the committee deemed but slight changes in 

 the rules necessary, and the subject was re- 

 ferred to the permanent eomniittee on grades.
