BUSINESS SESSION 



annual meeting; (3) majority vote of annual meeting in per- 

 son or by duly authenticated ballot." 



Mr. Dryer (Oswego County) : Do you propose to change 

 the constitution so as to be able to change it easily? 



Mr. Work: It will be more flexible as regards time, but 

 not as regards number of members. Six weeks are needed, 

 but every member will be informed in writing of the propo- 

 sition. 



Mr. Dryer: I feel that with a change in the constitution 

 we should be careful. 



Mr. Warford: I move the adoption of this amendment. 

 (Seconded by Mr. Dryer. Carried unanimously) . 



Mr. Greffrath : It has been suggested that we proceed 

 with the election of officers. 



Mr. Bonney : Your Nominating Committee took into con- 

 sideration the remarks of our President last year who has 

 served us for three years, and while we feel that we would 

 like to retain Mr. White in office, he said last year that he 

 positively would not serve again, and we feel that he ought 

 to be relieved from this duty. In looking around to find 

 a man, we felt that the man who stood next to Mr. White 

 officially was the man to naturally follow, because he is the 

 best qualified man in this state to fill the position. We sug- 

 gest the nomination of Mr. Henry Greffrath of South Lima. 



Mr. Greffrath : I am devoting about as much time as I 

 possibly could to the seed business. There are men here who 

 are better qualified, regardless of whether I had the office of 

 Vice-president this year or not, to fill this office than I am. 



Mr. Bonney: I would suggest that the Secretary put 

 this question. 



Mr. Work: We have heard the report of the Nominating 

 Committee regarding the office of president. Do I hear a 

 motion ? 



Mr. Dryer: I move the report be accepted as presented. 



Mr. Warren: I move the Secretary be instructed to cast 

 a ballot for Mr. Henry Greffrath.
