TWENTIETH ANNUAL MEETING. 219 



I also want to call your attention to a matter that was 

 mentioned yesterday. We have made an application to the 

 Legislature for $2,000 to finance a show from this state, and 

 we want you to invite your members of the Legislature in your 

 several towns to go and to favor that bill. It is none too 

 much, it is only a drop in the bucket for what the state is ex- 

 pending for other items. The other day a bill was introduced 

 asking for $75,000 for an armory. We only ask for $2,000, 

 and we want your help in securing it. (Applause.) 



Secretary ]\Ii-es: I know we all take great interest in 

 this exhibit in connection with the New England fruit show, 

 and I am glad Mr. Gold has seen fit to say what he has. I 

 would like to propose the following vote : 



Voted: "That the Connecticut Pomological Society 

 desires to express its hearty endorsement of the coming New 

 England Fruit Show, to be held at Boston in the fall of 

 1911; and hereby instructs its Executive Committee to use 

 every effort to plan for and carry out the best possible exhibit 

 of Connecticut fruits at the coming show." 



President Rogers: You have heard the resolution; 

 what action will you take? 



Mr. Gold: I move that it be adopted. 



President Rogers: All in favor of this resolution say 

 aye. Contrary minds no. The ayes have it and it is adopted 

 unanimously. 



Secretary Miles : There is another matter I would like 

 to mention. The American Pomological Society holds their 

 annual convention in Tampa, Florida, on the 10th of Febru- 

 ary, and we have been asked as a society here, to be repre- 

 sented by delegates. The present condition of our treasury 

 does not warrant our sending very many delegates. P>ut I 

 understand that Prof. C. D. Jarvis of Storrs has decided to 

 go to that meeting, and I believe it wouUi be a very nice thing 

 if this society would make him its delegate. I w<xil(l like 

 to move that Prof. C. D. jarvis be appointed our delegate at 

 this coming meeting at Tam]ia.
