I The greatest. change in the list is ' the addition of the nevv' section called section C for the previous season's novelties. It took considerable corre- spondence to get this section start- ed, but after it became clear to the , disseminators they responded liber- i ally, and all except two have entered i their varieties in this section. We ' hope that this arrangement will be a permanent one, and that in the fu- ture it will become customary for i disseminators to list their varieties in this . section without having to be ' coaxed. We have also divided the list in sections, designated by letters of i the alphabet and numbered the classes in figures. In the judges' book we have adopted a system under which every entry has a different nuniber, and it is impossible to recognize the owner of an exhibit by the number on another exhibit. In order to help make this system work smoothly I will ask this meeting to adopt some rule to limit the time for making en- tries in the competitive classes. The rules printed in the list, re- quiring the payment of $1 for each entry made after a certain date, does not seem to answer the purpose fully. It has never been enforced strictly, and unless a rule can be enforced strictly it cannot be made fair to cveuybQdy. We would suggest that one week before the convention opens all entries for competitive classes must be in the hands of the secre- tary. That will give him time to get e\trything into good shape before he leaves home, and the greatest cause of errors will be eliminated. The sec- retary should not be burdened at the convention with work which can just as well be done a week before he leaves home. In conclusion, I wish to thank the members for the interest shown by their ready responses to let- ters from t
