Pres, Underwood: I will ask Mr. Cuzner if he lias a report 

 to make of the committee of which he is a member? 



Mr. Cuzner: No, sir; I have no report to make; I had no 

 time to go anywhere. 



Pres. Underwood: We will now listen to a paper by Mr. J. 

 O. Barrett on forestry. 



"Forestry and the Water Problem." J. O. Barrett, Sec'y 

 Minnesota Forestry Association. (See index. ) 



Pres. Underwood: We will now listen to the report of the 

 committee on deciduous trees and shrubs. Mr. Richardson will 

 have a report to make later, and I will now call on Mr. Nutter. 



" Report of Committee on Deciduous Trees and Shrubs." F. 

 H. Nutter, Minneapolis. (See index.) 



Pres. Underwood: Mr. Elliot will now read a paper on the

Discussion. 



Pres. Underwood: Mr. Bush, a member of the committee on 

 evergreens, will now report. 



" Report of Committee on Evergreens." A K. Bush, Dover. 

 (See index.) 



Pres. Underwood: I certainly think these papers we have 

 heard this evening deserve a great deal more attention and dis- 

 cussion than we have given them, but it would make our pro- 

 gram last too long if we should take up the time this evening 

 in discussion. We have only one more paper to consider to- 

 night, and that is one by Mrs. Kennedy. 



Mrs. Kennedy then read the following: "The Woman in the 

 Case." Mrs. A. A. Kennedy, Hutchinson. (See index.) 



Mr. Kellogg, (Wisconsin): Will there be an opportunity to 

 take up for discussion the papers on forestry that were read 

 here tonight at any time during the session tomorrow? I con- 

 sider those three papers the finest and the most important we 

 have had this session. 



Pres. Underwood: We will try to take some time tomorrow 

 morning for the discussion of these papers. This closes the 

 program for tonight, and we will now stand adjourned till to- 

 morrow morning at 9 o'clock.
