•con exhibits, emphasizing practical facts by the aid of object lessons 

 which are not easily forgotten. 



Resolved : That the interest in this meeting, and the resulting 

 profit to its members, has been greatly augmented by the presence 

 and counsel of delegates and visitors from other states and societies. 

 They have our warmest thanks, and we hope to meet them again. 



Resolved: That the society as a whole regard with deep 

 respect and ardent appreciation the early and arduous labors of 

 the veterans of our association, whose presence is in diminishing 

 members annually, and whose whitening locks remind us that we 

 cannot always have the priceless benefits of their experience. 



Resolved : That our sympathy is hereby tendered to our Presi- 

 dent, Clarence Wedge, whose illness has deprived us of his valued 

 aid and companionship. We trust that with health regained, we 

 may meet him at future gatherings. 



Resolved: That most hearty thanks are due to Prof. Saml. 

 B. Green, who has so ably and acceptably presided over our meet- 

 ings, leaving the duties demanding his attention at the School of 

 Agriculture to efficiently conduct our sessions without remunera- 

 tion or emolument.

TWO ^IINUTE SPEECHES. 



(See index.) 

 The Chairman : I do not think it is necessary for me to make 

 any closing remarks. I want to thank the society for the pleasant 

 wav in which they have treated me as presiding officer and to say 

 that they have been ^ very generous in conforming to the rulings 

 I have made. I have tried to be as considerate as possible. I 

 know the difficulty of carrying out a program in the time allotted, 

 and it sometimes makes it necessary to cut off a speaker. I thank 

 you very much for the consideration you have shown me in thi^ 

 matter. I will now declare the meeting adjourned.
