174 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



what you can on the first work. I agree pretty well with 

 Mr. Barnes that it is best to do a thorough job the first time. 

 Our experience is that it is not such a great job to do if 

 you get ready for it. You must be prepared for it, and you 

 must have plenty of help, and the right kind of help, look 

 after it closely, and the materials must be mixed up right. 

 That is very necessary, because a little carelessness will spoil 

 the whole job. I will not take any more of your time. 

 (Applause.) 



At the conclusion of Mr. Lyman's remarks Vice-President 

 Hubbard, who had presided during the discussion of the Scale 

 problem, retired and President Gulley resumed the chair. 



The President: We have a number of other names on 

 the list that have not been called upon yet, but as we have 

 another exercise for this forenoon, and the time is passing so 

 rapidly, it has been thought best to defer the remainder of 

 this discussion until some other time, perhaps this afternoon. 



While I think of it I wish to refer to the membership 

 matter, and to say that the invitation is out to you all to 

 become members of this society, and we hope that not one 

 of those present will leave for home until they have joined 

 the society. You have received a full dollar's worth for 

 your membership during the last year, and if you do not get 

 the worth of your money in the year to come we would like 

 to know why. We want to make the society a great success 

 and increase the membership to a thousand members. And 

 we hope that you will join with us. ]Mr, Gilbert, over at the 

 membership desk in the corner, is waiting to receive your 

 application. We took one hundred and seventy memberships 

 yesterday, and we hope to take as many more to-day. That 

 is all. 



Mr. Hale: I am sure that the audience is so much inter- 

 ested in this Scale subject that at some time they ought to 

 have an opportunity to question these professors who have 

 addressed us, and I would suggest that the matter be taken 

 up further the first thing at this afternoon's session. Call to 

 order on time, Mr. President, and let us discuss it then.
