DRY-FARMING CONGRESS, WICHITA, 1914

we want time to investigate, and it is customary to have the Board of 

 Governors close this contract, so it has been left to the Executive Com-

 That is why this has not been brought up in open session. 



MR. BAINER: 



Is there anything else to be brought up in the session now before the 

 session of the Executive Committee comes up ? 



CHAIRMAN DRUMMOND: 



I would suggest that you do not adjourn but simply take a recess and 

 then reconvene and adjourn. There may be something we have overlooked. 



DEAN JARDINE: 



I move that a recess of 10 minutes be taken, after which we will again 

 resume in general session. 



MR. BAINER: 



The motion has been made and seconded. 



All in favor of the motion, make it known by saying "Aye." 

 All opposed, "No." 

 The motion is carried. 



Note: The Congress was then at recess, and the Executive Commh- 

 tee in session. 



W. I. DRUMMOND, Chairman of the Executive Committee: 



We will come to order as an Executive Committee right away. The 



old members and the new members are requested to remain, and anyone 



else who cares to remain may do so. 



There will be an accounting later, of course, of the aifairs of the 



Executive Committee, and a report made to the new Committee, and to 



the Board of Governors. 



Meanwhile, what is the pleasure of the Committee? 



DEAN JARDINE: 



I move that the old Committe be discharged; that it be dismissed with 

 thanks for its splendid services during the year. 



MR. MANTLE: 



I second the motion, Mr. Chairman. 



Accordingly the retiring Committee was discharged. 



CHAIRMAN DRUMMOND: 



The Secretary will now read the list of the members of the new Execu- 

 tive Committee, so far as reported to the Congress during these sessions. 



Secretary Faxon read the following list:
