488 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL: SOCIETY. SS ees 
take up the subject of top-working, and I think we are desir- | 
ous of hearing from Mr. Underwood on this subject. 
‘‘The Philosophy of Top-working and Influence of the 
Stock.” J. M. Underwood, Lake City. (See index). 
Discussion. 
The President: We will now take up the reports of local so- — 
cieties. I will call on Mr. Wedge, who is secretary of the 
Southern Minnesota Horticultural Society. 
Mr. Wedge: Our society has not yet had its meeting this 
year, and I believe our last report was given at the jast meet- 
ing. Iwill only say that our society is in a flourishing condi- 
tion, and we have doubled our membership during the past 
year. 
‘‘ Report of Dover Horticultural Society.” A. K. Bush, Sec- 
retary, Dover. (See index). 
At this point Mr. Roy Underwood entertained the audience 
with a barytone solo, entitled ‘‘ King David.” 
‘‘The Foreign Tree Dealer as an Educator.” C. L. Smith, 
Minneapolis. (See index). 
Discussion. 
The President: 1 hardly think we could improve on the 
treatment Mr. Smith has given the subject; and as our time is 
limited I think we had better pass on. 
‘‘Land of the Big Red Apple.” J. S. Harris, La Crescent. 
(See index). 
Mr. C. L. Smith: Mr. President, we are getting way behind 
on our program. I move that the proposed amendments to the 
constitution be referred to a committee appointed by the chair, 
who shall report on them as soon as they are ready. 
The motion was seconded, and being voted upon unanimously 
prevailed. 
The chair appointed as members of such committee Messrs. 
C. L. Smith, L. R. Moyer, A. K. Bush, O. M. Lord and F. W. 
Kimball. 
The President: This committee will, as soon as convenient, 
take this matter under consideration, and Mr. Brand, who pro- 
posed the amendments, can meet with the committee, so that 
the matter can be fully discussed with a thorough understand- 
ing on either side. 
The noon hour has arrived, and we will now adjourn until 
two o’clock this afternoon.
