TRANSACTIONS OF IHE ILLINOIS 



STANDING COMMITTEES FOR 1873. 



Gentlemen on these Committees are expected to act independently, and each is 

 requested to report upon his topic with reference to his particular district — Northern, 

 Southern, or Central, as the case may be. It is believed that additional facts and 

 principles may be discovered, relating to the conditions to which fruit culture in Illi- 

 nois must conform, by a careful study of atmospheric phenomena, our soils, insects, and 

 birds, in connection with vegetable physiology and the hygiene of plants.
