course we do not expect to kill them by simply hitting them, 

 but must get the material on each one and thus we can do 

 more thorough work with higher pressure. 



(At this point the Chairman made further announce- 

 ments about the inspection trip to be had in the afternoon). 



MR. CLARKE : In regard to the lice and aphis it may 

 seem rather a slow one-horse way, but on my young trees it 

 is usually on one or two limbs that they work, not on the 

 rest of them, and I have had good results in taking simply 

 Ivory soap and making a good strong solution and dipping 

 the ends in and it won 't take long to go over a block of small 

 trees. Simply a good strong solution of Ivory soap, it won't 

 hurt anything, but does what you Avant, to get on the body 

 of the insects that will harden there, a greasy substance, and 

 close the breathing pores; that is all it is. 



THE CHAIRIMAN: One more for Ivory soap. 



MR. CLARKE: Any good soap that will form a strong 

 solution. We have our spra.ver but I like to go over them 

 with a dish in my hand, do better work, I think. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Are there other questions? If not. 

 do not forget at one o'clock sharp. 



SECT BROAVX: Mr. Aniiin has a reslution to offer at 

 this time. 



MR. AXXTX: The Convention Bureau of the Board of 

 Trade it seems to me has been especially courteous to our 

 organization and to this meeting and I would like to offer 

 a resolution that this Convention extend a vote of thanks to 

 the Convention Bureau of the Board of Trade for all they 

 have done for us in helping to inake our meeting a success. 



(^lotion was seconded and carried unanimously.) 



^IR. ]\1UXS0X^: There have been a number of men on 

 our program that have not had any remuneration for their 

 time and trouble and have given us their best efforts, and I 

 think Ave should extend to each and every one of them a vote 

 of thanks, having the Secretary acknowledge by letter their 

 kind services. 



(^Motion Avas seconded and carried unanimously.)
