and sent out, I told them to send it 

 to Mr. Stone, or to me, and I woul^ 

 forward any that were sent to me, to 

 Mr. Stone. I said this to all the people 

 with whom I left the petition for cir- 

 culation. I think there will be a great 

 many come in before it is time to use 

 them. By some time in December, 

 anyhow, you will, I believe, receive a 

 great many of these petitions. 



Pres. Moore — 1 think a great many 

 more will be heard from. Mr. Stone 

 will, no doubt, receive a great many 

 more of these petitions. 



Mr. Stone — ^Was there a Resolution 

 Committee appointed? There ought to 

 be one to act on this Panama Expo- 

 sition, and other things. 



Pres. Moore — ^Will somebody make a 

 motion to that effect? 



Mr. York — ^I move that a Resolution 

 Committee of three (3) be appointed. 



Motion was seconded and carried. 



Pres. Moore — ^I will take that under 

 advisement and appoint a comma ttee 

 immediately after dinner. 



Mr. Stone — Maybe you will not be 

 in the ch^r after dinner. I see two 

 Vice-Presidents that outrank you are 

 now here. 



A Member — There comes a senior 

 now. 



Pres. Moore — ^We will leave that, 

 then, to the acting Chairman after 

 dinner. 



Pres. Moore — Any other committees ? 



Mr. Stone — ^Mr. President, allow me, 

 before you adjourn^ to state that we 

 had better, after we think t^j© members 

 are all here that will be iilsre, decide 

 whether we will have okv pictures 

 taken, as last year, and have the ar- 

 tist here the first thing after dinner. 

 I am in favor of having this picture 

 taken and having it put in our Report. 

 I believe a good many will want , that 

 Report just'to get their picture. 



Mr. York — I was going to ask 

 whether or not it would be better to 

 have the picture taken on the second 

 day of the convention; would we not 

 have a larger attendance on the sec- 

 ond day? If so, why not have the 

 picture taken tomorrow afternoon, or, 

 rather, tomorrow forenoon, just before 

 " we adjourn? If a number of those 

 present here today will not attend to- 

 morrow, we would better have the 

 picture taken today. 



Motion was made and carried that 

 the picture be taken tomorrow (Nov. 

 18, 1910) just before dinner. 



Dr. Bohrer — I have had a mimber of 

 letters from parties in Illinois and 

 other States, concerning yellow sweet 

 clover seed. I brought a small box of 

 it here, and all members who have not 

 anything of this kind, and who would 

 like to have a little of this seedi will 

 you not go to the Secretary and get 

 some of it? Take home a teaspoonful 

 of it — sow it in your garden and 

 transplant it. If you sow it in Feb- 

 ruary, it will grow, but won't bloom 

 until the next year. The seed is free, 

 so call on the Secretary for as much 

 as you desire. 



Mr. Diebold — ^If sown in February, in 

 this cold climate, will it bloom next 

 spring? 



Dr. Bohrer — No, it will grow, but 

 will not bloom until the year following. 



Mr. Siebold — ^I would like to know 

 what species it is. 



Dr. Bohrer — ^It is yellow sweet clo- 

 ver. ^It does not grow as' tall as the 

 white. It is about two or three weeks 

 earlier than the white. I think the 

 yellow sweet clover is very desirable 

 where you have sweet clover at all. 



Mr. York — I would like to call a 

 meeting of the Auditing Committee at 

 once, after adjournment. 



Motion to adjourn until one o'clock 

 was seconded and carried. 



The convention then adjourned to 

 meet at one o'clock p. m. 



AFTERNOON SESSION. 



The convention met at one o'clock 

 p. m., as per adjournment, with Vice- 

 President Moore in the chair. 



Pres. Moore — Mr. Coppin, the 1st 

 Vice-President, is here. I will ask 

 him to take the chair this afternoon. 



Mr. Coppin — I would rather be ex- 

 cused, and have Mr. Bowen fill the 

 chair. We drew straws, and I believe 

 I got the wrong straw. I think he is 

 better qualified to fill the chair. 



Mr. Bowen — ^Of course, Mr. Coppin 

 being the 1st Vice-President, I would 

 rather havei him fill the chair; I have 

 not looked after the order of business, 

 but I will do the best I can for you. 



Mr. Bowen, 2d Vice-President, takes 

 the chair. 



Pres. Bowen — I am ihformed the 

 next thing in order will be unfinished 

 business. 



Mr. Stone — The last thing before 

 dinner a motion was made that a com-
