154 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Committee of three members, who, living at widely separated 

 points in the state, rarely ever to get together, except, per- 

 haps, at our annual meetings. At this time there is so much 

 business to be turned off that a two-day session is not suf- 

 ficient time to canvass and talk up membership with those 

 who ought to be enrolled on our list, and get all the benefit 

 belonging to Connecticut fruit growers. As your Secretary 

 has stated in his report just now, each member should re- 

 solve himself into a committee of one to see to it that he gets 

 at least one new member during the year. Fellow members, 

 this can be done easily. Just see what an impetus would be 

 given the work of the Society throughout the State if each 

 of you did this. Among our members we have 18 life mem- 

 bers. Why can this not be increased to 100? Our appro- 

 priation from the state is so small that the help that can be 

 given by each individual member in getting new members 

 will be of immense value in increasing the finances of the 

 Society, so that more and better work can be done in the 

 future. In addition to this personal work that can always be 

 done by the members, your committee suggests and recom- 

 mends that the members of the committee be increased to 

 eight, and that there be one appointed from each county. 

 That this committee confer together from time to time and 

 report to the Secretary at stated times through the year.
