STANDING COMMITTEES FOR 1874. 



Gentlemen on these Committees are expecttd 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 prin- 

 ciples may be discovered, relating to the conditionsXo which fruit culture in Illinois must 

 conform, by a careful study of atmospheric phenomena, our soils, insects, and birds, in 

 connection with vegetable physiology and the hygiene of plants.
