JOURNAL OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1916. 505 



The President : I see we have very little time to discuss this 

 very interesting paper. We will now listen to Professor Hansen, 

 of Brookings, South Dakota, who will tell us of new creations in 

 horticulture for 1916. 



Professor N. E. Hansen, of Brookings, South Dakota, then 

 addressed the society upon "New Creations in Horticulture for 

 1916." (See Index.) 



Mr. Wedge: It is now nearly quarter after twelve. While 

 we are very glad to hear from Mr. Reeves I presume we better 

 let that go until after dinner. The meeting will now stand 

 adjourned. 



Friday Afternoon Session. 



The "Question and Answer" half hour was devoted to the 

 discussion of the subject of "The Home Orchard," and was led 

 by Mr. Henry Husser, of Minneapolis. (See Index.) 



The regular program was then resumed with President Cash- 

 man in the chair. 



The President : We will now continue with the regular pro- 

 gram and will have a talk on the Minnesota orchard by Mr. J. 

 F. Bartlett. 



Professor R. S. Mackintosh is called to preside during Presi- 

 dent Cashman's absence. 



Thereupon Mr. J. F. Bartlett, of Excelsior, read an address 

 on "The Minnesota Orchard." (Applause.) (See Index.) 



Discussion : 



Professor Mackintosh: Mr. Barlett is one of the younger 

 men that have gone to Excelsior, and we hope to hear more from 

 him. The next number is an address on "The New Farmers' 

 Fruit," by Mr. Freeman Thorp, of Hubert. He doesn't seem to be 

 here, so we will call on Professor S. A. Beach, of Ames, Iowa, 

 on "The Unfruitful Tree and How to Correct It." (Applause.) 



"The Unfruitful Tree and How to Correct It," Professor S. 

 A. Beach. (See Index.) 



Discussion: 



President Cashman now resumed the chair and announced 

 the next number on the program. 



Professor Richard Wellington, horticulturist, University 

 Farm, thereupon read his paper upon "Orcharding in Minnesota." 

 (Applause.) (See Index.) 



The President: Does anyone want to ask Mr. Wellington 

 any questions? If not we will proceed to the next subject, which 

 by the way is about the last one on the program except some 

 reports that are to be made. The next address will be given by 

 Professor Mackintosh of the University Farm on "The Minnesota 

 Apple Crop in 1916." (Applause.) 



"The Minnesota Apple Crop in 1916," by R. S. Mackintosh, 

 horticulturist, Extension Division, University Farm. (See In- 

 dex.)
