PRESIDENT FROST. If you haven 't got all you want 

 from Dr. Whetzel, dig in and get more; but I am going to 

 ask each one of you in asking a question to rise and give his 

 name. All of these discussions are taken down in short- 

 hand and will come out in the report. Now, this report will 

 be issued probably within a month of this time, so that you 

 will have this advance information for your spraying work 

 this spring. This puts you ahead of the man who is not a 

 member of the Association. 



I am going to say that those apples I show you are 

 grown by a man who is not a member of our Association. 

 [Laughter]. These [showing other apples] were grown by 

 a member of our Association, The man who grew these 

 [showing apples] has become a member within two weeks. 

 [Applause] .
