“Resolved:  That in our judgment the carrying out of the spirit and purpose of the motion adopted by the Farmers’ Institute Board, Sept. 4, 1913, pertaining to ’the horticultural work on each institute corps’—­to quite literally—­cannot be fully performed except by providing for each institute corps some one who should in whole or in part represent horticulture, and who should be interested and willing to serve the Horticultural Society as indicated in said motion; and further, that reasonable opportunity for such service should be allowed at each place where an institute corps may be working.”

It was decided to appropriate $65.00 to be applied to the uses of the Minnesota State Forestry Association.

The accounts of the Secretary from Nov. 30, 1915, to June 15, 1916, amounting to $4,112.82, were examined and approved, and an order drawn for the payment of that amount from the treasury, an equal amount to be covered into the treasury from the hands of the secretary.

Adjourned sine die,
J. M. UNDERWOOD,
Chairman Executive Board. 
A. W. LATHAM, Secretary.
