[June 2, 1920. 



Woonona. 



At a meeting on 13th April, Mr. G. Fowler read a paper on the diseases of 

 plant-life. He traced in some measure the history of knowledge of the 

 subject, and pointed to the work of several notable men in this sphere. 

 Applications of the subject were made in various ways, notably in pointing 

 out the utility of bacteria in connection with soil fertility and manuring. 



Yarramalong. 



At the meeting of the members of this branch held on 17th April, a dis- 

 cussion took place regarding the refusal of the Postmaster-General to extend 

 the telephone line, the whole of the poles being guaranteed by the residents^ 

 It was decided to ask Mr. W. M. Fleming, M.L.A., to assist. It was also 

 decided to ask for an extension to Ravensdale, as that place was in urgent 

 need of telephone facilities.
