Your committee reported this resolution to a meeting of the 
Executive Committee of this Association held in Kansas City 
last January and the Association, through its Executive Com¬ 
mittee, endorsed this resolution and took immediate action on 
section 8, placing this Association in active co-operation with 
the American Phytopathological Society in a research program, 
the Association appropriating the sum of |2000 per year for two 
years for this work provided the remainder of $4000 per year for 
two years was subscribed by the growers most vitally interested. 
John Fraser, Jr., Huntsville, Alabama was placed in charge of 
raising this fund and his report is a very interesting document. 
This research program is now being carried on and its modum 
operandi will be explained to you by W. C. O’Kane, Chairman of 
the Crop Protection Institute which operates in connection with, 
or, as a part of, the National Research Council of Washington 
which has this work in charge. 
The Executive Committee at Kansas City authorized the pub¬ 
lication of this resolution and the papers and discussion. It 
was printed and distributed by Secretary Sizemore, 100 copies 
being sent to the officers of the Phytopathological Society, Hor¬ 
ticultural Inspectors, etc. and a copy being mailed to all the 
nurserymen of the United States, a total of-copies being 
printed. About two weeks after the Cincinnati meeting, through 
the co-operation of the Federal Horticultural Board’s office at 
Washington, the resolution, multigraphed, was distributed to all 
the Nursery Inspectors of the United States. 
Your committee was most kindly and courteously received at 
Cincinnati and as courteously and kindly parted with. A spirit 
of real co-operation was manifest during the entire session and 
it was the feeling of the nurserymen present that there was a 
better understanding between Nurserymen and Entomologists 
and Pathologists than ever before.
