The President : First on this list we have a gentleman who has 

 already participated to a considerable extent in the deliberations of 

 our society, and I take pleasure in presenting to you Mr. \V. J. 

 Moyle, of Union Grove, Wis., representing the Wisconsin Horti- 

 cultural Society. We would like to have Mr. Moyle come forward 

 and say a few words. 



Mr. W. J. Moyle (Wis.) : I beg of you at this time not to call 

 on me for an elaborate speech, as the hour is late, and it is not 

 necessary. I will say, however, that I am glad to be here to repre- 

 sent our state society, and I feel, and in fact I know, that I am going 

 to get some good out of the meeting to take back with me to tell 

 to our people at our February meeting, and if I can be of any 

 benefit to you in any way I shall be glad to have you call upon 

 me, and I will render any assistance possible. I thank you for the 

 privilege you have extended to me at this time. (Applause.) 



The President : Mr. Moyle comes from the extreme southeast- 

 ern part of Wisconsin, so we can judge his experience a little better, 

 knowing just what it has been. 



W^e also have with us Mr. L. A. demons, of Storm Lake, Iowa, 

 representing the Northwestern Iowa Association. We would be 

 glad to hear from Mr. demons now. 



Mr. L. C. demons (Iowa) : I am of a somewhat modest dis- 

 position and would prefer not to come forward to the platform. 

 It is with extreme pleasure that I am permitted to meet with you at 

 this time. I have been for about ten years a member of this society, 

 but have never had the pleasure of meeting with you before. 



The little society I represent here, young in years and not 

 strong in membership, is enthusiastic and is reaching out for all the 

 information they can get, so they concluded to send me up here,
