three be appointed to make arrangements
for the Fruit-growers' Convention at Sac
ramento.
Mr.. Milco suggested that the committee
be authorized to prepare programme
President Cooper appointed on the COM
mittee Messrs. ii. c. Wilson, Peck and
Boggs.
In order to avoid expenses which cannot
be paid by the State TO other members of
the Board than Inspector Boggs. Mr.. Milco
suggested that Mr.. Boggs be authorized to
consult with Sacramento organizations as
to arrangements.
MIR. Boggs offered to pay the expenses of
the other members of the committee him.
self rather than to be without their advice.
President Cooper said that Mr. Boggs
could make all arrangements before calling
the committee together.
Mr.. Milco said that there had been con-
siderable dissatisfaction as to the way in
which business was conducted at the Los
Angeles Convention. The plan of giving
the whole control to the Board did rot
meet with approval.
DR.. Kimball said that there must be a
head and plan of operations, and he
thought that the State Board of Horticult-
ure should have entire control At Los
Angeles the trouble was that the people
there had an idea that lot Of strangers
were coming down to deyour them.
There was no objection to the presiding
officer. He would move that President
Cooper be appointed Chairman of the CON-
mittee just appointed. Carried.
Mr.. Peck thought that the President of
the Board should preside over the Conven-
ton.
Secretary Webb did not believe that the
Controller would draw warrant for the
expenses of Convention that was not
held under the auspices of the State Board.
DR.. Kimball thought that the difficulties
would be abolished by having programme
adopted by the Convention.
President Cooper said that the only way
TO get the State Board entirely out of the
way would be for the people of Sacramento
to raise the money for the expenses of the
Convention
Mr.. Milco wanted 10 avoid anv conflict
between the State Board and the other
members of the Convention, which could
hardly be done if the State Board had ex-
elusive control.
DR.. Kimball was of the opinion that the
principal thing in Convention is good
presiding officer, and that all difficulty could
be obyiated by appointing few good Vice
p ,idents.
Mr. Milco thought that all interests would
be harmoniZed by permitting the President
of the Board to preside at the Convention.
and by appointing Vice Presidents from the
body of the Convention to preside in case
of the absence of the President. He sug-
gests that it would be best to take no action
until just before the Convention meets in
order that the feeling of fruit-growers NAV
be ascertained.
The committee then went into executive
session for the election of an INSPECTOR of
Fruit Pests.
Inspector Boggs stated that when he was
elected he made pledge that in case there
was dissatisfaction he would resign. Since
his election he had met with encourage
ment from fruit-growers, who did not wish
him to resign. But be called attention to
the low state OF the appropriation, and
stated that as he had certain work to do
which he had laid out he would ask leave
to hand in his resignation, to take effect
about June LIST.
Mr.. Peck thought that Mr.. Boggs was as
good an Inspector as any one could be, and
he asked who would take charge of the ar
engagements for the Convention at Sacra-
mento.
Mr., Milco moved that Mr.. Boggs' resig-
nation be accepted, to take effect on June
LIST, and that his successor be now an
pointed.
The motion was carried
Mr. Boggs was requested, in examining
the fruit region in the Sacramento valley,
to pay special attention to citrus fruit.
DIR. kimball nominated w. G.. Klee of
the state University, who has charge of the
grounds and all the experiments made
there.
Mr.. Milco was in favor Of Matthew
Cooke, but as he could not apparently be
elected. he would vote for Mr. Klee.
Mr.. Boggs nominated B. NJ. Lelong. of
Los Angeles county.
Mr.. Peck nominated Matthew Cooke.
but this nomination could not be seconded
as Mr.. Milco had already seconded the
nomination of Mr. Klee.
Mr.. klee was elected.
Recess.
