Mr. Goodenow: We have not collected as much money this 

 year as we did in some of the years prior, but we haven't had as 

 much work in the field as usual so far as that goes. I did a little 

 work in a couple of counties or a little more, and I find that the 

 farmers are not dead by a long ways. They are just kind of 

 dozing along waiting for somebody to come and see them. Last 

 year I worked some and I found it was pretty hard to get money. 

 They didn't have it. We couldn't get it in places where they 

 didn't have it. Our members were very hard up as a rule. This 

 year they seem to be more easy ; they have got it and they are more 

 willing to pay. 



The President: Are there any questions concerning this re- 

 port that you wish to ask Mr. Goodenow, concerning any of these 

 items? There is nothing covered up here. If there is anything 

 you don't understand — 



A Member: I didn't hear you read the secretary's expenses. 

 Haven 't we got a secretary ? 



The President: The secretary has never made any charge. 

 Secretary Wallace would never accept anything — that is H. A. 



Mr. Ames: I move the adoption of the report. 



The President: A motion duly seconded has been made to 

 adopt the report as offered. All favorable to the motion signify 

 it my saying aye. Contrary no. The ayes have it, and it is so 

 ordered. 



We will now listen to the report of the auditing committee. 

 Mr. Hill. 



Mr. E. L. Hill then read the following report of the auditing 

 committee :
