REPORT OF THE SOCIETY 



REPORT OF THE SUMMER MEETING 



The summer meeting of the Quebec Society for the Protection of Plants was 

 held October 4th and 5th, 1917 at the Berthierville nurseries. The plan was to 

 make the meeting a field meeting with the double purpose of studying the insect 

 and fungous pests of the nursery trees, and of becoming acquainted wath the work 

 done at the nurseries. Unfortunately, however, rain prevented the full inspection 

 of the plantations, and only two hours were spent outdoors. The remaining time 

 was profitably spent indoors in listening to addresses by Mr. G. C. Piche, Chief 

 of the Forestry Service in general charge of the nurseries, by J. H. Lavoie, Chief 

 of the Horticultural Service, by Mr. Swaine, Mr. Winn and Prof. Lochhead. 



The meeting was held in the Forestry School, where the visitors were royally 

 entertained by Mr. Piche and his assistants. 



Among those present were G. E. Piche, J. H. Lavoie, G. Maheux, S. Roy, 

 Henri Roy, G. Tessier, H. F. Kieffer, J. H. Menard, Mr. Cloutier, Mr. Petraz, 

 Mr. Renaud, J. M. Swaine, A. F. Winn, C. B. Hutchings, F. E. Buck, W. Loch- 

 head.
