Jl'xe 20, 1911. 



the better of it at that time, but he got 

 his answer when the Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation unanimously adopted Mr. 

 White's resolution, as follows: 



Whereat, It has been charged In the present 

 Ciinsress of the national legislature that the seed 

 tradv ot the United .States was under suspiciou 

 of having committed fraud In Importing certain 

 seetls under false pretenses, and that American 

 dealers have systematically committed perjury to 

 t-KC!ipe the payment of lawful excises; and. 



Whereas, These charges, if true, are worthy 

 nf inii|tiHilti<'d ooudemnation, luit If unfounded are 

 a libel on tlie trade in general; now, therefore, 



Be it resolved, In justice to ourselves and In 

 the name of simjjle decency, that we urge the 

 legislative and executive branches of the govern- 

 ment to spare no pains to ascertain the facts In 

 the case, and to prosecute all offenders wherever 

 found; and further, 



Besolved, That to the end of securing punish- 

 nient for tiie guilty and vindication for the inno- 

 cent, wu pledge ourselves individually and as an 

 association to cordially support all leasonable 

 efforts to secure rigid Justice; and 



Resolved, That copies of these resolutions Ite 

 r<'si)ectfully submitted to the Secretary of the 

 Treasury aud to the Hon. James H. Mann. 



Mr. White also introduced, by request, 

 a resolution which was unanimously 

 adopted, urging upon Congress the need 

 for amendment of the corporation in- 

 come tax law, whereby it shall be made 

 permissible for corporations to make re- 

 turns as of the close of their individual 

 fiscal years, to the end that obedience 

 to the law may be rendered less burden- 

 some and accurate compliance with its 

 provisions possible. Several members 

 urged all present to have similar action 

 taken by such other mercantile bodies 

 as they may be members of. 



Members and Meeting Place. 



The 162 active members and two hon- 

 orary members were reinforced by the 

 election of the following to active mem- 

 bership: 



Buck, E. A., & Co., Worcester, Mass. 

 (iermain Seed & Plant Co., Los Angeles, Cal. 

 Woodruff, P. n., & Son, Milford, Conn. 

 McCullough, n. T., Santa Ynez, Cal. 

 Schulte, L. B., Houston. Tex. 

 Cobb, W. F., Franklin, .Mass. 



The selection of the next meeting 

 place is in the hands of the executive 

 committee, but informal discussion 

 showed the general opinion to be that 

 the meeting shoul4 be held in the mid- 

 dle west, probably at some lake resort. 



The State Correspondents. 



The state correspondents were pro- 

 vided for by action of the association 

 at Atlantic City in 1910. They have 

 been so valuable an assistance in han- 

 dling the work of the association that 

 President Page recommended their re- 

 appointment and pointed out ways in 

 which their usefulness may be extended 

 in other directions than the handling 

 of seed legislation, the subject covered 

 in the reports presented this year and 

 referre'd to the executive committee. 



Obituary. 



The ranks of the association having 

 -suffered depletion by death to a greater 

 extent than in any previous year, 

 President Page appointed a committee 

 on obituary. At the final session 

 Charles N. Page, chairman, presented a 

 report containing eulogies as follows:
