FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 175 



]\Ir. Innis: ]\Ir. President, these papers are certainly very 

 valuable, and I think it would be a very good thing if they 

 could be placed in the hands of the fruit growers prior to the 

 time when we want to commence the spring spraying. It 

 seems to me if that could be done the points contained in the 

 various papers would be of very great help. Our annual 

 report, as the Secretary has already said, may not be out 

 before the first of April, or later, and that is too late to be of 

 much value to us before we have to commence the spring 

 spraying with the lime and sulphur mixture. Would it not 

 be a good plan to have a sufficient number of copies of this 

 part of the proceedings printed to circulate among the mem- 

 bers of the Pomological Society ? Of course, I know that this 

 is an expense that perhaps we do not want to go to, but, after 

 all, will it not pay in the end? 



The President: There is no question but that it can be 

 done. 



Prof. Britton : Mr. President, if this report is printed 

 at some place where they have a complete plant, it is simply 

 a question of setting up the matter with a linotype machine. 

 Many times we have this linotype matter struck off in the 

 same way as the proof would be, and probably a sufficient 

 number of copies to mail around to the members would not 

 cost more than five or six dollars. It seems to me it would 

 be a valuable thing to the fruit growers if that paper could 

 be circulated before the spring spraying comes on, and would 

 hardly require any extra expense, as it could be put up in 

 some cheap form. 



Mr. Ives : I am heartily in favor of the idea, for I am, 

 convinced that there may be some very valuable information, 

 not only in these addresses, but in what is to come later, and 

 if it can be done I would be in favor of having it condensed 

 all in one. That is, if something could be compiled just to 

 give the gist of it, so we can know just what to do, and thus 

 get the benefit of all of the proceedings of this part of the 

 session, devoted to the discussion of the treatment of the San 

 Jose scale. 



A motion was then made that the papers relating to 

 "Spraying for the San Jose Scale" be printed at the earliest
