BUSINESS SESSION 



163 



hundred dollars for paying the per diem of men who can go 

 to these meetings. We have had two difficulties. One is to 

 get the local organizations to call for it. On the other hand, 

 we have had some difficulty in getting speakers. I think we 

 are getting to the point where we can solve the speaker ques- 

 tion. We can send one or two men to meetings anywhere at 

 practically any time. We can get state men like Fippin and 

 Myers at any time by paying half their expenses. We have 

 tried to arrange speakers in circuits. We feel that for a man 

 to give his time and his work is asking a good deal of him. 

 With the institute work, the men get five dollars a day and 

 up. Should we try this series of what we might call team 

 meetings in addition to what we have been doing? 



Mr. Work : We should pay the per diem and the local as- 

 sociation pay the expenses. 



President Greffrath: It has been moved and seconded 

 that this Association hold two meetings during the summer. 

 (Carried unanimously). 



Mr. Warford: It seems to me as though that was really 

 a good policy. In our section the Farmers' Institutes have 

 not given the satisfaction they otherwise could, because it 

 has been all ''cow." It seems as if, were a team sent out 

 from this organization, it would meet the demand of a 

 farmers' institute for specialties in the vegetable business. I 

 believe it would bear results. 



Mr. Bonney : Would it not be a good idea for our Secre- 

 tary to write to organizations and ask if they would care for 

 such a thing? 



President Greffrath: As I understand it, I think that 

 part of it could be taken care of all right. What we want 

 to settle is what part of the expenses should the local organi- 

 zations pay? 



Mr. Cook: I think as we have the one hundred dollars, 

 it would be well to use it for that purpose and let each organi- 

 zation pay the speakers' expenses. My idea would be to get 

 a goodly number of men interested in the state organization, 

 and becoming members, they would be more interested in the 

 affiliation of their local organization with the state association.
