MR. JONES: We can get ten.

MR. WEBER: Mr. President, I will get ten or kick in to the treasury the money they would have brought.

THE PRESIDENT: That's fine. That's thirty right there. How about you,
Mr. Thorpe?

MR. THORPE: I think I can get it.

PROFESSOR NEILSON: I think I can get ten.

THE PRESIDENT: I think there is no doubt about it. Mr. Spencer will get ten won't you, Mr. Spencer?

MR. SPENCER: I will try to.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you will, won't you, or else you will "kick in" with the money,—$20?

MR. SPENCER: Yes, I think so. Well, if I am going to put in $20 I want to say something more on the subject. If we send out this Chinese tree it would be very easy to put in a slip stating that the association is very anxious to know whether this is suitable for the receiver's particular part of the country. We should tell him that we don't know whether it will grow in Illinois or in Louisiana, and that it's an experiment on the part of the association to learn whether this tree, which is desirable in China, is suitable for his particular locality. We should ask him to please take care of it, watch results and report to the association. Make him sort of a partner in the discovery.

THE PRESIDENT: Pat, you will get ten, won't you?
