PROTECTION OF PLANTS — 1924-25 



MINUTES OF THE SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 



The Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the Quebec Society for the Protection 

 of Plants was held in the Biology Building, Macdonald College on Wednesday, 

 April 15th, 1925. 



The two general sessions were well attended. At the afternoon session 

 Principal F. C. Harrison welcomed the guests and members, congratulating 

 the Society on the good work it is doing and on the progress it has made. 

 The papers read during this session are included in the report. 



In the evening Dr. B. T. Dickson gave a short account of the history of 

 the Society. This was followed by the principal address, delivered by Dr. 

 Jas. G. Needham of Cornell University . Dr. Needham's address on "Some 

 New Ventures in Entomology" was keenly enjoyed by the audience, owing 

 in part to the speaker's inimitable manner, and in part to the almost untouched 

 fields of economic Entomology of which we were given a glimpse. This address 

 is printed in the report in a somewhat condensed form. 



The business meeting was called to order at 11 a.m. Owing to the absence 

 of the President on acount of illness, the Vice-President, Rev. Father Leopold 

 took the chair. 



The minute's of the last meeting were read and approved.
