Texas Nut Growers
Will Hold Meeting

1 SsnssS eNAs ~ Wv 49,
Will Hold Meeting
To THE HERALD.
As the executive committee of the
Texas Nut Growers Association
wish to call attention to Our mid
winter meeting, which is to be held
at Abilene, January IS and 10, 190SI
The Commercial Club of that city
is cooperating with us in encourag-
ing large attendance and we have
its assurance that the visitors will be
well cared for after arriving there.
The State Horticultural Society is
to hold its meeting at Abilene
at the time of the Nut Growers
convention. We are to have a
j pint program with it but are to
be given one-third of the time which
will be sufficient to transact our
business. The Abilene and Great
western Poultry and Pet Stock
Association is expected to be there
at the same time as the nut grow
cts and hortuculturists. In
addition to the above societies the
Central West Texas Association of
Commercial Clubs will probably be
in Abilene on one of the days above
given. so those who visit that city
on January Is and 10 will have a
pleasant and profitable time.
We are very DESTROYS of securing
a large attendance of nut growers
from all parts of the state. We call
upon all our members to attend
the meeting if it is possible for them
to DO so and to secure the names
of as many new members as the y
can. The dues are 81 90 annually
and all that is necessary 10 become
a member is to send that amount
TO the secretary together with the
name of the one desiring member
ship.
There are number of very
important questions to come before
us for consideration at that time.
Among these is the publication of
our proceedings. We now have
enough material to make volume
of 100 or more pages.
We think the papers are too val
liable to be lost to the public, but
should be put into convenient aud
durable form. In our opinion
these proceedings would make a
most valuable and practicable trea
t1se on pecan growing IN Texas.
There is a widespread demand for
just such information as is eviden-
ced by the many inquiries which
have reached the secretary. It is
up to the nut growers to say if
these shall be published. 1t de-
ponds upon the attendance at the
meeting and the interest which is
manifested in it. Will you respond?
