Wednesday Afternoon Session. 



The session was opened with an exercise on "The Flower 

 Garden," which was led by Mrs. H. A. Boardman, St. Paul. 

 (See Index.) 



The regular afternoon session was called to order by Presi- 

 dent Cashman at two o'clock. 



The President: We have a very interesting session this 

 afternoon, and I hope all will remain who can. To start with, 

 I wish to say this, that it has never been my good fortune to 

 preside over a meeting where people were more enthusiastic 

 or where they better understood the subjects they were dis- 

 cussing. I have only this criticism to make, that the speakers 

 do not talk loud enough. (Applause.) Unfortunately those 

 sitting in the back seats can not hear those talking up in front. 

 We have subjects to be discussed this afternoon of great import- 

 ance and value to all of us, and I hope that not only the speakers, 

 those who are discussing the subject, but also those who are 

 taking part in the discussion will speak up — use those splendid 

 voices you have. 



The subject of spraying will be considered this afternoon, 

 and it will be discussed by men of wide experience, Mr. Harold 

 Simmons, of Howard Lake; Mr. E. Yanish, of St. Paul; Mr. 

 A. H. Reed, Glencoe ; and Mr. J. J. Dobbin, of Excelsior.
