470 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
in connection with the State Agricultural Society, which is in 
session at St. Paul today. I received a letter from Prof. Green 
a day or two since asking me to bring before this society cer- 
tain resolutions looking toward the reorganization of the State - 
Agricultural Society on a basis which should permit this and 
kindred organizations to have a proper representation in that 
society. Prof. Green desires that these resolutions be acted 
upon at once and that we telegraph him the result this morn- 
ing. 
The secretary then read the following resolutions: (See 
page 29.)
