ADDENDA. 



Newport, I'erry County, Pa., 



February 21, 1912. 



To the Officers of tlie Chestnut lilight Convention: 



I desire to submit a statement in connection with this blighted 

 wood question which is not the professional opinion of any 

 representative of the Chemical or Forestry Department of the 

 State, or any scientist; but is presented merely as the thought 

 of a layman who has had considerable experience in the chest- 

 nut wood extract business, and who has conceived the idea that 

 it might possibly, in a way, have some bearing upon matters 

 under consideration by the convention. It is submitted merely 

 as an individual hypothesis, which may be entirely wrong. 



W. M. BENSON.
