Judge Moyer being called on for a few remarks anent his 
election as a member of the executive committee responded as 
follows: 
Mr. President and Members of the Society: I am glad the 
western part of the state is represented on the executive com- 
mittee, but I have too many duties to perform to make my 
services very valuable; however, I willdoe what Ican. (Ap- 
plause). 
The next paper was read by Mr. Geo. Stout, of Lake City, on 
the subject of ‘“‘A Few Thoughts and Ideas on: Gardening.” 
(See index). 
Pres. Underwood: This finishes our program for this after- 
noon. The subject for this evening’s meeting is ‘‘Forestry.” 
We will now adjourn until half past seven this evening. 
THURSDAY EVENING. 
Pres. Underwood: There is one subject I was requested to 
call up that was omitted this afternoon. Mr. A. D. Leach of 
Lake Minnetonka will talk to us on the subject of ‘‘Cranberry 
Culture.” (See index). 
At this juncture Mr. W. F. Gardner, of Lake City, enlivened 
the occasion with a finely rendered cornet solo. 
Pres. Underwood: We will now take up the subject of 
forestry. The first topic on the program which we will pre- 
sent is a paper on ‘‘Forestry and Evergreens,” by Wm. Somer- 
ville.
