Second: Many who dropped out when dues were high should be invited to return.
Third: Attempts should be made to contact certain groups. All of the northern experiment stations and agricultural colleges should have a member of their horticultural department in the association. Groups such as doctors, lawyers, nurserymen, farmers and others should be informed of the association and what it offers to each.
Fourth: The agricultural college and experiment station libraries should be induced to take out memberships and bring their sets of reports up to date.
Such a campaign is more than one person can handle, and several should participate in it.

Press and Publication Committee
Dr. Deming:
We have had one or two articles in each issue of the National Horticultural Magazine, published by the American Horticultural Society in Washington. The editor has promised to have in each issue of his magazine something relating to nuts. He is particularly anxious to get short articles with a single illustration, articles about a page long which will attract attention, be easy to read and stimulate interest in nuts. I would be glad to receive articles of that nature for submission to the editor.
