ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING. i73 



Committee, and to our representatives from Connecticut. I 

 believe they will be glad to know what is wanted for the further- 

 ance of the interests of the Connecticut growers. 



Resolution seconded and passed unanimously. 



Prof. Britton : I have a little resolution which I think best 

 to introduce at this time. You heard some of the remarks 

 which were made regarding the delay in the publication of our 

 proceedings. Now we all know that our officers have a great 

 deal of work to do. and our Secretary has a very small salary 

 ■for his work, but we also know that it is very easy to put off a 

 thing from one day to another, but usually if we are obliged to 

 get a thing done by a certain day we manage to do it. Now I 

 believe that our proceedings should be published just as soon 

 as possible after the annual meetings are over, and if our officers 

 are not able to take the time to put them in shape. I think, with 

 the appropriation which we now have, they ought to be able 

 by securing assistance to get them ready for publication. I 

 therefore offer this resolution : 



Resolved, That the proceedings of this annual meeting be 

 printed not later than April ist, 1902, and that the Executive 

 Committee be instructed to carry out this plan accordingly. 



Resolutions seconded and adopted by the Society. 



Mr. Sternberg: I move that all the exhibitors who have 

 contributed exhibits at this meeting be extended a vote of 

 thanks. 



Motion seconded and passed. 



]\Ir. Hale : There is one other thing. While our exhibitors 

 will in the future, as they have in the past, be entitled to credit, 

 and to our thanks, yet all of us cannot attend these meetings. 

 Some of our members cannot leave their business so as to be 

 here, and many who would be glad to be here are obliged, for 

 various reasons, to be away from the meetings, and they are 

 largely dependent upon the public press for information as to 

 what goes on here ; and I would like this meeting to pass a vote 

 of thanks to the leading papers of Hartford, that is, the Coiinvit, 

 Times, and Post, which have given very full and complete 

 reports of these meetings thus far, and have quickly distributed 

 the contents of our program not only to our fellow members, 

 but to all the citizens of the State who are interested.
