Discussion. 



The Chairman : I think we have all learned something about 

 blight. I don't know whether we have learned enough to keep it 

 away from our trees, but we have heard lots of theories and some ex- 

 periences, and we can apply those we consider best. This concludes 

 our program, and as we have some questions in the question box 

 we will take those up next and see what there is in them. 



(The questions and their answers will be found at various points 

 in the preceding pages.) 



The Chairman : As we have a little time to spare now I will 

 give Mr. Elliot an opportunity to make a few remarks that I think 

 will be of interest to us. 



Mr. Wyman Elliot proceeded to talk about the exhibit of apples 

 from Minnesota at the meeting of the American Pomological So- 

 ciety, held in Boston in September last. (See index.) 



The Chairman: Before final adjournment we have several 

 committee reports to hear, and if Prof. Robertson is ready I will call 

 for the report of the committee on president's address. 



Prof. Wm. Robertson, chairman, then submitted the "Report of 

 the Committee on President's Address." (See index.) 



On motion of Mr. Taylor the report of the committee was unani- 

 mously adopted.
