PROCEEDINGS OF THIRTY-THIRD FRUIT-GROWERS ' CONVENTION. 267 



MR. MILLS. One need not have a very vivid imagination to see 

 the wonderful happiness that will come to a people thus served. 



MR. BUTTERS. I think you will find that it will revolutionize 

 the conditions there. 



MR. MILLS. I move that the paper be accepted, placed on file and 

 printed in the bulletin. 



The motion was duly seconded and carried. 



MR. JUDD. I wish to make a motion that this Convention pass a 

 vote of thanks to Professor Stubenrauch and Professor Mackie and Mr. 

 Mason, and to ask them to have papers on those subjects at our com- 

 ing convention. 



The motion was duly seconded and carried. 



MR. MILLS. There is one thing I would like to mention, and that 

 is this, that this Convention recognizes the splendid work that has been 

 done by our State University authorities, in connection with the fruit 

 industries of this State, in the pathological stations and the experiment 

 stations. We want to appreciate that they are doing a very great 

 work for us. I can mention one thing, where Professor Smith, who was 

 here, has solved a very great difficulty for some of the fruit industries in 

 that brown rot. By a very skillful examination of that question he 

 has solved it and saved us many tens of thousands of dollars; and in 

 the stations all over the north and south they are solving very many 

 such questions; and I wish to place on record, and that this associa- 

 tion will allow me to do, the good work that has been done by the 

 Federal government and by the State through the University. I move 

 that we recognize this good work by both the Federal and State author- 

 ities. 



The motion was duly seconded and carried. 



On motion of Mr. Judd, duly seconded, the Convention adjourned 

 sine die. 



J. W. JEFFREY, President. 



JOHN ISAAC, Secretary.
