A motion was made and seconded to accept the report of the Resolutions Committee. (Carried unanimously.)
Professor A. C. McIntyre of the Pennsylvania State Forestry Service was then called upon and discussed the black walnut as a timber tree. He called attention to the fact that the black locust is a legume of high value and acts as a stimulant to the growth of other trees and are themselves excellent for use later as fence posts. In considering the relative value of various nut trees as shade trees he stressed the fact that the time of leafing out in the spring and the dropping of the leaves in the fall are important factors.
Motion was carried that the board of directors should formulate requirements for Honorary membership and have a proposition ready for discussion at the 1934 convention.
List of officers and committee members was then read. Same are recorded on pages 3 and 4.
The President: Attention is called to the fact that the annual dues are now only $2.00 and surely there are a large number of people interested in nut tree growing who will wish to join our association. I am sure each member will wish to subscribe for our official journal, the NATIONAL NUT NEWS, the subscription price of which is only $1.00 per year (in the United States) and remittance may be made through our Treasurer or direct to the News at 2810 South Michigan Ave., Chicago.
Those who desire to secure budded or grafted nut bearing trees will have their orders given proper attention by any of the following who are members of our association:
W. R. Fickes, Route 7, Wooster,
Ohio.
Gerardi Nurseries, O'Fallon, Ill.
John W. Hershey, Downingtown,
Pa.

Prop.), Rockport, Ind.
J. F. Jones Nurseries, Box N. 356,

The latter has distributed a great deal of information on northern nut culture and I think a paper at our next convention outlining its work and accomplishments would be most valuable.
Each one present is cordially invited to attend our convention next year, September 10 and 11, 1934 at Battle Creek, Michigan.
