Mr. Bixby: I move, Mr President, that a committee on Federal Aid be appointed for that purpose, to co-operate with the other associations for the purpose of securing for the nut industry an appropriation sufficient or at least somewhere near sufficient for the work in hand. There is much work to be done that should be done now.
Mr. Olcott: I second the motion, Mr. President.
President Reed: You have heard the motion. It is moved that a committee be appointed for this work, as suggested. All in favor of the motion say Aye. Contrary same sign. It is Carried. I think it would be well to leave that committee to the incoming president. That was your idea, Mr. Bixby, was it?
Mr. Bixby: I didn't think that far.
President Reed: That won't be far off, and I think it would be well to leave the appointment of that committee to the incoming president. I think also, it would be well, before appointing that committee, to confer a little bit to see who could possibly attend, could go to Washington, and would have the time to give to it.
President Reed: We will now have the report of the nominating committee.
