ADDRESSES AND DISCUSSIONS. 



AT THE BANGOR MEETING. 



President True called the meeting to order and said: 

 Upon the passage of the law giving the Maine State Pomo- 

 logical Society an increase of its stipend from the State treasury, 

 your officers, after paying its outstanding indebtedness, began 

 to look around to see in what way it could extend its usefulness 

 in lines that have been already employed, and while different 

 plans were being discussed Mayor Beal came before us and 

 made the proposition that our society should take charge of the 

 Pomological Department of the Eastern Maine State Fair, and 

 he offered such inducements that the executive committee 

 accepted them, and we have been very much pleased. The time 

 was short for us to make arrangements, but we have been very 

 much pleased with the reception we have received from the 

 officers and managers of the fair and the people of Bangor and 

 vicinity and our society feels that it has no excuse for being 

 except to spend this money that is entrusted to them in improv- 

 ing fruit culture, beautifying our homes, making them the typi- 

 cal homes of Maine and the world.
