peaker of the House of Representatives.

Approved, March 28, 1919.

ALBERT E. SLEEPER,
Governor.

MR. C. A. REED: Mr. Chairman, I _move_ that before adjournment
the chairman appoint a committee of three members of this association to
carefully review this bill and either report in favor of any suggestions
that they may wish to make in regard to its amendment or give approval
of the bill as it stands.

MR. LINTON: I support the motion.

PRESIDENT REED: It is moved and seconded that the chairman
appoint a committee of three to carry out the recommendations. All in
favor say Aye; contrary, No. It is CARRIED.

SENATOR PENNEY: That law is adjusted to the laws of Michigan
and any other state proposed would have to adjust it to fit their laws.

PRESIDENT REED: I would like to have Mr. C. A. Reed on that
committee, Mr. Olcott and Dr. Morris.

C. A. REED: Then, Mr. President, in addition to that we are
going to take the liberty of adding an _ex officio_ member, Mr.
Littlepage, an ex-president and also a good thoroughgoing nut.

MR. JONES: My understanding is the provision for six-ft. trees.
Six foot nut trees unless they have been transplanted several times will
hardly succeed. I would say use small trees along the highway.

PRESIDENT REED: I think that would need to be worked out. I
think a six foot tree is a little dangerous in some varieties. The
committee might find it wise to offer some suggestions in that line.

VOICE: If you plant a tree six feet high, you are sure of
having a tree there.

PRESIDENT REED: I believe Dr. Kellogg is about ready now, and
we will hear from Dr. Kellogg whom you are all acquainted with.

It is evident that the live stock industry is shriveling up. The
livestock inhabitants of the country--the pigs, sheep and cattle--are
much smaller in population at the present time than they were
twenty-five or thirty years ago, and are getting smaller all the time.
The price of meat is high and is going to continue to climb. It is away
out of reach of the average laboring man even at the present time. I
heard Dr. Charley Mayo say at a clinic not long ago that meat is so high
he could not afford to eat it and he didn't see how anybody could; and
as a matter of fact, he didn't need it anyhow, and so we could easily
get along without it. As a matter of fact, as Mr. Bill said some years
ago it is not really so much the hig
