it to us today. We have been fol¬ 
lowing up the information given at St. 
Augustine with additional information 
irom time to time and, representing 
the League, I would like to ask the per¬ 
mission of the Horticultural Society to 
use Mr. Chase's paper in the immedi¬ 
ate future, to act as follow-up work. 
We would like to have it mimeograph¬ 
ed and sent to every representative of 
the railroads who were present at the 
St. Augustine meeting. I would make 
this request and would like a motion 
passed here today; if it meets with 
your approval, we would like to make 
use of this paper. 
Motion second and carried. 
The following resolution was pre¬ 
sented by Rev. J. G. Glass: 
Mr. Glass: “Resolved, that the 
thanks of the Horticultural Society is 
hereby gratefully tendered to the Ship¬ 
pers’ and Growers’ League through its 
Secretary,- Mr. Lloyd S. Tenny, for its 
active and efficient participation in the 
fight for the eradication of Citrus Can¬ 
ker. 
“Resolved, That a similar vote of 
thanks be extended to the staff of the 
Experimental Stations in the State, and 
to other inspectors and experimental 
workers in this field.” 
Moved, seconded and carried, that 
this resolution be adopted. 
The followng resolution was present¬ 
ed by Mr. S. C. Warner. 
Mr. Warner: “Resolved, That the 
Secretary of Agriculture at Washing¬ 
ton be and is hereby requested by the 
Florida State Horticultural Society to 
fix a chemical standard of maturity 
which shall apply to interstate ship¬ 
ments of citrus fruit.” 
Mr. Skinner: I second the resolution. 
Mr. Warner: Of course, this applies 
to all citrus fruits, that which is import¬ 
ed as well; fruit coming from Cuba, 
Porto Rico and elsewhere. I think it 
would be of great value to us. 
Motion carried. 
The following resolution was intro¬ 
duced by Dr. Wm. C. Richardson: 
“Resolved, That this Association 
heartily commends the efforts and ex¬ 
periments now being conducted by Mr.

in the United States, and requests Sen¬ 
ator Bryan and his associate congress¬ 
men of this State to continue their ef¬ 
forts to secure the desired co-operation 
from the Agricultural Department, 
Washington, toward bringing to an 
early issue the plans now under investi¬ 
gation.” 
Motion made, seconded and carried
