Mr. Ellsworth. You have heard the report of your 

 committee on nominations. Unless it is called for I won't 

 read the nominations. If it is called for I will read them 

 again. Motion is in order to accept and adopt this list and 

 elect the gentlemen that have been nominated by your com- 

 mittee. 



A Member. I move that it be adopted. 



A Member. Second the motion. 



Mr. Ellsworth. It is moved and seconded that we ac- 

 cept the report and adopt the recommendations of this com- 

 mittee. Now, everybody wants to vote, for this is very im- 

 portant, as you know your offices are filled by most excel- 

 lent men. Vote one way or the other. All in favor say 

 "Aye;" those opposed "No." It is a unanimous vote, and 

 you have elected the gentlemen named by the committee. 



Is there any other business before we take up the pro- 

 gram ? It is my pleasure to introduce to you Mr. A. T. Hen- 

 ry of Wallingford, Connecticut, on the subject of "Prac- 

 tical Details of Spraying." I introduce to you Mr. Heniy 

 of Wallingford, Connecticut. (Applause).

 here in Massachusetts today and to see so much interest in 

 fruit growing. When we used to come to call our meetings 

 in Connecticut — and I have attended those in other states 

 in the past years — the attendance was not anything like 

 what it is at the present time. Our own sociey has increased 

 in membership and I understand that yours has, too. One of 

 the principal points in going to the meetings is not so much 

 what the speakers say from the platform as in meeting and 

 making new friends and seeing new implements and know- 

 ing new people and talking with people at the hall, at the 

 hotels and other places. That is fully as important to me 

 as what the speakers may say from the platform. 



This spraying subject is an old one. We all know more 

 or less about it and I have nothing startling or new to offer. 

 It has all been said and written many times over. Perhaps 

 I can give it to you in a little difiPerent way and perhaps 

 there may be a few practical points which I may be able
