| 9:00 AM (Eastern Standard Time) | Board of Trustees Meeting |
| 10:30 AM | Our speaker will be Bill McKibben who is a graduate of Ohio State University specializing in soil science. As a consultant for Ohio farmers and football teams needing assistance with turf problems, he is kept quite active. He will give us an entertaining lecture on "Taking and Understanding Soil Samples as They Relate to our Dahlia". Several of our dahlia growers from diverse areas of the Midwest have sent in soil samples to Bill, and he has analyzed them in his laboratory. We are anxious to see the results and comparisons. |
