 OMcers of Association.
 The Horticultural Association also elected officers for the ensuing year there being but few changes in tho of- f1cers who have served for the year of 1904. They are as follows: Presi- dent M B. Houghton; First Vice-Presi- dent. j. A. Sellers: Second Vice-PrSsi- dent, Mcqueen Smith: Chairman of the | IExecutive Committee, W. D. WestcottS Secretary, J. A. Barnes and Treasurer and Assistant Secretary. A. R. liar vey.
 At the opening of the meeting yes terday Chairman W. D. Westcott. of the Executive Committee. submitted the re- port of the committee for the year just ended. The report reviews the work accomplished by the Association daring 1904 and makes certain recomm ehda- tions for the future work of the organization. One of the greatest achievements of the Association point ed out by the Executive Committee. was the demonstration by the Committee on Fertilizers appointed last spring that every farmer in the State can save s3 or $4 per ton by mixing his own ferti- lizers.
 The Executive Committee valued this demonstration of mixing fertilizers so highly that it recommended that the report of the Fertilizer Committee be printed in pamphlet form. But direct ly contradictory to this part of the re- port of Chairman Westcott. President Houghton after the report was read, said that personally he believed a mis- take was made in devoting so much energy to the solution of cheaper feTti- lizers as 1t aided and abetted In the raising of a surplus cotton crop.
