. , . I take it for granted that no one wants field meet- 

 ings. 



MR, MUNSON: I might say this in regard to it: That 

 there does not seem to be any enthusiasm about having field 

 meetings this year, but it comes to the minds of several men 

 that it might be possible to arrange with certain growers to 

 have what they call "at home" day, when fruit growers 

 «oul(i visit their place if they so desired during this next 

 summer and that the men who held this "at home" day 

 could simply arrange to give the men who called there some 

 time in explaining what questions they might present. I do 

 not know M^hether that would be acceptable to the Associa- 

 tion or not. It seems to me that during the present situa-

 the work of the men in our Association during the summer 

 and give opportunity to those who desire to look into the 

 different practices of fruit growers along these lines.

 that idea with the Executive Committee, and if they see 

 opportunity to hold a meeting, or if they see some specially 

 interestiiig places or crops in fine condition, to make ar-

 Mr. Mann?

 like to ask if there is anyone present or if anyone present 

 knows of anyone who is an expert at grafting. Now, we 

 will have the report from the Nominating Committee, Mr. 

 Stevens. 



MR. STEVENS: Mr. President and gentlemen, your
