Unsolved, That the State Pomological Society memorialize the Legislature of this State, to 

 pass a joint resolution requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to so extend 

 the scope of the Signal Service as to give the benefits of the Signal Service to agriculture in 

 the following particulars: First, during the period of active oper^ition in agriculture 

 (April to November) to give warning, by telegraph at every telegraphic station in the country, 

 of the approach of storms and of their probable severity ; also of the approach of waves of 

 cold, their central path, and their probable extent and severity. 



The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the Society.
