ANNUAL MEETING 525 



Prof. S. B. Green: We would like to have the delegates visit 

 the school of agriculture tomorrow afternoon, and we will have 

 it so arranged. "VVe would be pleased to invite you out there to 

 dinner tomorrow, and I think we can take care of all that will 

 come. Unless you hear from me further, we will have car- 

 riages at Cromwell avenue to meet the visiting delegates and 

 members, and carry you up to the school. We would be glad 

 to have you all come and visit us. 



The paper I have to present on irrigation is not in the nature 

 of a report at all. It is a little paper I had prepared for my 

 class. I did not have time to draw up a report. The secretary 

 wished me to pre.«ent this. 



Prof. S. B. Green then read his report on irrigation. (See 

 index.) 



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

 Danforth. This paper was written by Mr. William Danforth, 

 but as he is unable to be present on account of sickness, the 

 paper will be read by his son. 



"My Artesian Well.'' Wm. Danforth, Red Wing. (See index.) 



A short discussion ensued. 



Pres. Underwood: We have another paper here on irriga- 

 tion by Mr. Geo. Whiting, of Yankton, S. D., which I will ask 

 the secretary to read. 



"Irrigation with Reservoir," Geo. W. Whiting, Yankton. S. D. 

 (See index). 



Mr, F. W. Kimball: I move that our secretary be instructed 

 to return the thanks of the society to Mr. Whiting for his able 

 and instructive paper, and that he be made a member of this 

 society for the ensuing year. 



The question being put to a vote, the motion unanimously 

 prevailed. 



Pres. Underwood: The time has now come for the annual 

 election of officers. I will appoint as tellers Mr. C. W. Samp- 

 son and Mr. A. H. Brackett: (For result of this election see 

 index). 



Col. Stevens: I move that Mr. Amasa Stewart be put on the 

 roll of life membership of this society. He performed valuable 

 service until ill health compelled him to leave the country, but 

 even to this day he has taken a great interest io the society. 

 He has done much for the horticulture of this state. He lives 

 now in Texas. I had a letter from him today, and he sends 

 his regards and best wishes to the members of this society. All 

 the old members know him very well.
