Mr. Putnam : Mr. Chairman, either I overlooked it in 

 passing- in the Nominating Committee report, or else we 

 omitted to make the nomination for Vice-President from this 

 state for the Xew England Fruit Show. The committee 

 nominated Charles L. Gold, of West Cornwall. 



President Rogers: If I understand that, the commit- 

 tee 'makes a nomination for Mce-President from Connecticut 

 for the New England Fruit Show. Each New England 

 state has one A'ice-President, and Mr. (jold has been placed 

 in nomination from our state. He has been on the Board 

 for the last two or three years. What is your pleasure in 

 regard to this matter? 



A Member : I second the nomination. 



President Rogers : All those in favor of electing Mr. 

 Gold say "Aye." Contrary minds, *'No.'' It is a vote and 

 you have elected ]\Ir. Gold. 



Secretary ]\Iiles : I have another resolution. The 

 members will remember that considerable has been said in 

 the reports of the committees in regard to the matter of co- 

 operation for the members of the Society, and therefore this 

 resolution has been prepared ; 



Resolved : That the Publicity Committee be directed 

 to take up the question of the co-operative purchase of sup- 

 plies and put the same into effect whenever there is a demand 

 for it ; and be it further 



Resolved : That the Publicity Committee be directed 

 to investigate the subject of co-operation in the packing, 

 handling and marketing of fruit, and to make a full report 

 of their findings at the next annual meeting. 



President Rogers: W'hat is your pleasure in regard 

 to this?
