In the afternoon a very excellent meeting was held in the Institute 

 Assembly Hall. In the absence of the President and Secretary, Rev. Brother 

 Liguori, ex- Vice-President of the Society, was called to the chair and Mr. 

 J. C. Chapais was asked to act as Secretary pro tern. 



The Eev. Brother Liguori, in the course of a forcible address, appealed 

 to all interested in Entomology and Mycolog}^ to become active members of 

 the Society and aid in the fight against plant pests. 



The speaker, in continuing, remarked that the Society depended largely 

 upon the agricultural students and intelligent farmers of the province for 

 the accomplishment of this work; that through their training along these 

 lines they were able to recognize and understand the nature of these pests, 

 and consequently to aid the Society in obtaining much needed data re the 

 exact conditions throughout the province. 



The Trappists are to be complimented upon the excellent condition of 

 their several farm departments. Particular mention must be given the 

 Ginseng Garden, which, after eight j^ears of perseverance, is beginning to 

 give very profitable returns.
