ORGANIZATION OP AN AMERICAN SOCIETY 

 OF AGRONOMY 



It is requested by the undersigned that all 

 persons interested in agronomy join with them 

 in a meeting during the coming holiday season 

 at Chicago for the purpose of organizing an 

 American Society of Agronomy. The meet- 

 ing for organization wiU be held Tuesday 

 morning, December 31, in the buildings of the 

 Chicago University, the particular place of 

 meeting to be announced later. 



Although this meeting is called for the same 

 period during which the sessions of the Amer- 

 ican Association for the Advancement of Sci- 

 ence will be held in order to secure better 

 attendance, it will be determined at such time 

 whether the organization shall be a section of 

 this association, an affiliated society, or take 

 some other form. A suggestive constitution 

 and by-laws will be submitted in order that 

 business may be hastened and as much time as 

 possible be given to the reading of papers even 

 at this first meeting. Eight to ten papers 

 have already been offered. Titles and ab- 

 stracts or the papers themselves should be sent 

 at the earliest date possible either to Alvin 

 Keyser, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, 

 Nebr., or to M. A. Carleton, U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
