EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 117 



'"By advertising our wonderful advantages as a fruit- 

 growing State. 



"Starting a campaign which will in time develop into co- 

 operative buying and selling. 



"Bringing to the attention of the Society now cultivating, 

 implements, new pruning tools and the latest ideas in spray- 

 ing and spraying implements. 



"It should be within the province of this committee to 

 see that Connecticut is the best represented State at fruit 

 meetings and exhibitions." 



It was moved that the above resolution be adopted. 

 President Gold: We already have a motion before the 

 meeting that this matter of the Boston fruit show be referred 

 to the executive committee. 



Secretary Miles: I move an amendment, if the gentle- 

 man will accept it, that the publicity committee and execu- 

 tive committee jointly have 'this matter in charge. 



Mr. Curtis: Would not that make an unwieldy body? 

 Mr. Foster: I rise to a point of order. The amend- 

 ment of the Secretary is to the effect that we refer this to 

 the executive committee and publicity committee. How can 

 we refer it to the publicity committee if it does not yet exist? 

 President Gold: The point is well taken. The ques- 

 tion before the meeting is on the adoption of a resolution 

 referring this matter to the executive committee. Are there 

 any further remarks? 



Mr. Curtis : I would like to say one or two words on 

 that. I would ask Mr. Hale if he will withdraw his motion 

 and let Mr. Henry's resolution prevail. I think this commit- 

 tee on Publicity should be given a certain amount of money 

 to advertise with and to see that this Society is properly rep- 

 resented at the Boston show. This is to be a very important 

 exhibit of fruit and we ought to make every effort to make 

 it a success. I support Mr. Henry's resolution. 



Mr. Hale: I will withdraw my motion if the gentleman 

 desires.
