26 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



President Rogers : This is a very important and com- 

 prehensive report, and I would hke to put it to a vote of the 

 Society. The committee has been doing good work, and the 

 bulletins they have gotten out have been in demand by the 

 people of the state, and especially by the leading business 

 men, who have helped to distribute them. 



A Member : I move that the report be accepted and the 

 recommendations adopted. 



The President : All in favor of accepting this report 

 please signify it by saying "aye" ; contrary minds "no." The 

 motion is carried. 



The next is the report of the Committee on Alembership, 

 Mr. J. H. Putnam, chairman. 



]\Ir. Putnam : Mr. Chairman, I shall have to report 

 that I haven't any report to make ; that is, I have done no 

 work during the year. In fact, I did not realize that I was 

 a member of the Committee till I saw* the program ; but I 

 understand the Secretary has been doing good work, and that 

 we have the largest number of members now that we have 

 ever had; and we want to see every man in Connecticut who 

 is interested in growing fruit a member of this associatimi. 

 They ought to be, not only for their own good, but for the 

 good of the fruit interests, because it is by getting together 

 and working together and planning together and learning 

 from each other, that we are going to improve. The report 

 of the committee just given shows a little of what can be 

 done by united effort, and until we get really in close touch 

 with each other through the association, our eft'orts will not 

 be united. I hope every person in the hall who is not now a 

 member will become a member before leaving the meeting. 



President Rogers : You have heard the Meml^ership 

 Committee's report, and if there is no objection we will accept 

 the report. We will now take up Injurious Insects. Ijy Dr. 

 W. E. Britton, chairman of that committee.
