Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifth Annual Meeting: Evansville, Indiana, August 20 and 21, 1914

PROFESSOR CLOSE: It seems to me that those who pay dues for 1914 ought
to receive the report of the meeting for 1914 no matter when it is
printed, even if it is not for three or four months after the end of the
calendar year. In that way the reports will match the calendar year;
that is they are the reports for the year that the meeting was held and
the papers and discussions took place, and this one should be known as
the report for 1914. That is the way we run them in the other societies
and it seems to me there would be no confusion at all if it were managed
in that way.
THE PRESIDENT: The chair very heartily agrees with that suggestion and
thinks that should be the practice of the society. The chair would be
very glad to entertain a motion to make that the rule.
PROFESSOR CLOSE: I should be glad to make the motion that the
proceedings of the meeting of each calendar year be reported as of that
calendar year and distributed to the members who pay dues for that
calendar year.
(Seconded and carried unanimously.)
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other candidates for admission to this
society? If so, hold up your hands and our distinguished secretary will
visit you immediately. Are there any committee reports?
W. C. REED: The committee on nomenclature desires to report as follows:
Voted on the Smith and Potter resolution to recommend changing the
name of the Busseron pecan to Vincennes; Posey pecan to Wabash;
Buttrick pecan to Illinois. It was the opinion of the committee
that the other names of pecans had been established by the
Department of Agriculture by printing in the year book, and that it
was not advisable to change them.
We recommend, as advisable for members introducing new varieties,
to confer with the committee on nomenclature before listing new
names.
Signed. W. C. REED,
W. C. DEMING,
R. L. MCCOY,
R. T. MORRIS,
C. A. REED.
A MEMBER: I move the adoption of this report.
A MEMBER: I second the motion.
THE PRESIDENT: It has been moved and seconded that the report of the
committee on nomenclature be adopted. Are you ready for the question?
All in favor of the motion make it known in the usual way. It is
unanimously carried that we adopt this report. Are there any other
committee reports?
