SIXTlLEXrn ANNUAL MEETING. 9 



(juirino- all memberships to be paid strictly within the current 

 }ear. h'rom now on we shall be relieved of carrying any 

 "dead material," and with active work on tlie part of onr 

 Mem])ership Committee and also every member of the Society 

 there is no g-ood reason why we cannot work steadily toward 

 onr aim of looo mcml)crs. Let every member feel it a matter 

 of duty as well as pride, to bring into the organization at least 

 one new member this coming year. 



The Life Meml)ership plan should appeal to many of us! 

 What better service can a man render his state than to con- 

 tribute to the permanent life fund of such a Society as ours, 

 that future generations of fruit growers may reap the benefits?
