REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 



159 



Mr. Work: That would be about the same. If some are 

 interested in that, we would be glad to hear from them. If any of 

 you are interested in those Gradus peas, I will take that up further. 

 I don't know that I have anything else to offer. 



There is no limit to the possibilities of development in this work. 

 We want to hear two things from you : what you need — what you 

 are having the most trouble with; and if you know of some good 

 sources of seed, let us know about it. Information of this sort will 

 be handled in a confidential way. So if you know of good strains of 

 seed, and are willing to let the Association have the benefit of the 

 information, but do not want it to go further, then it will not go 

 further. These things can be handled in whatever way seems 

 expedient at the time. Are there any questions or experiences in 

 regard to the handling of these matters? 



Mr. Tuttle: Mr. White has asked me to occupy the chair 

 during his absence. I want to present a memorial minute in relation 

 to the death of Professor Craig, who was so helpful in the organiza- 

 tion of this society. I was asked by the executive committee to 

 formulate that minute. 



MEMORIAL MINUTE 



It is with deep regret that the New York State Vegetable Grow- 

 ers' Association records the death of Professor John Craig, who 

 was the inspiration and guiding spirit in the organization of the 

 Association. 



His wise counsel and genial presence will be greatly missed, and 

 we feel that his place cannot be easily filled in the wide field of use- 

 fulness he occupied. 



This Association wishes to extend to the bereaved family its 

 sincere sympathy. 



A motion to place this minute on our records would be in order. 



Mr. Bonney: I move that this resolution be placed on the 

 minutes of this Association. (Carried.)
