more or less abstract and indefinite, and so a little difficult 

 for the rank and file to see. The following plan has been 

 gradually developed in the minds of your Committee and is 

 offered in the hope that it may at least partially solve the 

 problem : 



1. That all organizations which affiliate pay a fee of 

 five dollars. 2. Each organization is to receive one copy 

 of the Report of the Association ; is to receive a cut of the seal 

 of the Association for stationery (we have designs in hand 

 now). 3. That these organizations are to enjoy representa- 

 tion on the Federation Council. As soon as the constitution 

 can be changed, these organizations are to pay five dollars 

 plus ten cents per member for every member over fifty. The 

 small organizations then would pay straight five dollars, the 

 large organizations, like some that we have, would be asked 

 to pay ten cents per member for their membership over fifty. 

 They would receive in addition to the privileges mentioned 

 above the privilege of full individual membership, with 

 ever\i:hing that that means in the way of Seed Service, in 

 the way of publication service, in receiving individual copies 

 of the Report, and so on, at $1.50 instead of $2.00. That 

 action was approved by the Executive Committee, and has 

 their recommendation. It would make full membership in 

 the Association available to members of the local organiza- 

 tions at $1.50 instead of $2.00. Let us have your views on 

 that proposition. 



Mr. Greffrath: Is this matter clear? This reduction to 

 $1.50 em.braces all affiliated mem.bers, even below fifty. 



Mr. Vv'ork: Every member of an affiliated organization 

 would have the privilege of membership at $1.50 instead of 

 $2.00. 



A Member: I would like to inquire hoAv that is going to 

 affect membership outside of the local associations? How 

 are you going to appeal to the man who does not belong to 

 the organization at $2.00? 



Mr. Greffrath : Tell him to get together with others and 

 m.ake an organization.
