Resolutions 
Crop Pest Bill Committee. 
Mr. Hume: In the discussion yester¬ 
day, a resolution was passed requesting 
the President and two other members 
of the Society, to be appointed by him, 
to go to Tallahassee. I have consid¬ 
ered this carefully, and I will ask two 
gentlemen to accompany me to Talla¬ 
hassee on Monday morning, to be 
there Monday afternoon. Those two 
are Mr. Gaitskill and Mr. Skinner. I 
have made these appointments, as I say, 
after careful consideration and after can¬ 
vassing the situation thoroughly, and 
have come to the conclusion that those 
two men can do more than any other 
two men I could appoint. 
The nurserymen who are in attendance 
at this meeting held a meeting last night, 
and at that meeting they donated $100 
to the Horticultural Society to be used 
in handling this matter; thlat is, they 
have given to the Society a fund of $100 
to be used in carrying on this work. 
In addition to that, they appointed a 
member of the Nurserymen’s Association, 
Mr. C. F. Barber, to assist in this work, 
and the nurserymen will pay his ex¬ 
penses.
