that the dues of the members who have joined active service 

 be remitted for the present year or while they are in active 

 service. Those in favor manifest by raising their right hand. 

 (Motion carried). 



MK. MUNSON: At our meeting yesterday there was a 

 matter brought up of the emergency news service, which 

 some of the members though out to reach them through the 

 extension service. I guess the best procedure for gettifig 

 that to the members is a question, but here again, Mr. Presi- 

 dent, I would move you that a committee be appointed by 

 the Chair to take up this matter of emergency news service 

 and take what action it seems advisable to take. (Motion 

 seconded.) 



PEESIDENT MARGESON: It is moved and seconded 

 that a committee be appointed to take up such matters as 

 they think should be gotten into the hands of the fruit grow- 

 ers from time to time. Those in favor will manifest by rais- 

 ing their right hand ; contrary minded ; it is carried. 



MR. MUNSON: Just one more matter. That is, dur- 

 ing the past year you are aware that we have held no field 

 meetings. This has been due to shortage of help and so 

 forth, and the Executive Committee of the association deem- 

 ed it wise not to call the members away from the farms, 

 during the busy season. They would like some instructions 

 from the members as to their desires in having field meet- 

 ings this summer, — whether they want them! or whether 

 they think that the emergency, or the help proposition, would 

 keep them from attending so that it would be unwise to have 

 these meetings. If there is anybody here that will express 

 an opinion on the matter, I am sure the Executive Commit- 

 tee will appreciate it. 



PRESIDENT MARGESON: I think it is very timely, 

 gentlemen, in regard to this matter of field meetings, whether 

 we should hold them or whether we feel it is drawing too 

 much upon the time of those who would like to attend. We 

 would be glad to have any discussion on the subject now. 

 "We would like to have any expression from anyone prosont.
