MR. DAVENPORT : I make that as an amendment. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a second to the amend- 

 ment? 



MR. MORSE: That motion did not speak of any com- 

 mittee. 



THE CHAIRMAN: I think it would be well to have 

 somebody designated to carry out the motion, because what 

 is everybody's business is nobody's business. Would you in- 

 clude in your motion that there be a committee to • carry 

 out this? 



MR. MORSE: Isn't there an executive committee of 

 the Association ? 



THE CHAIRMAN : There is an executive committee, if 

 that would serve your purpose. You have heard the amend- 

 ment, — that this committee also consider other methods of 

 advertising fruit products of Massachusetts. All those in 

 favor of the amendment signify by raising their hand, — op- 

 posed, the same sign. It is unanimously voted that this meas- 

 ure be adopted. 



All those in favor of the original motion as stated please 

 signify by raising the right hand; opposed, the same sign. 

 That also is unanimously carried. 



If there are no other questions on this subject we will 

 proceed to the next topic on the program, and our next 

 speaker is a man who is recognized in the fruit growing fra- 

 ternities as one who has gained success through practical ex- 

 perience. 



He has 30 acres of orchards and has harvested in some 

 years — with, I understand, a good share of young trees — 

 some 3000 barrels; and because being a practical man and 

 known as such, I am sure we are about to listen to some very 

 practical ideas on the subject which he presents, "Commer- 

 cial Apple Growing in New Jersey." Whatever he presents 

 as of interest from his section, I am sure will apply some- 

 what to our section ; and I am certainly pleased to be able to 

 present to you Mr. John H. Barclay, of New Jersey. (Ap- 

 plause.)
