 Society. 



Secretary Miles: Mr. President, just a word before 

 that motion is put. I was not on the stage when that motion 

 was made, but I take it it was in reference to publishing a 

 portion of the proceedings in advance of the full report. It 

 has occurred to me that it might be possible to condense the 

 discussion and papers on this San Jose scale topic that have 

 been given and publish them at once, without waiting for the 

 full yearly report to come out. If that would be agreeable 

 to the society I am sure that the officers will make every 

 endeavor to get it out promptly. 



The motion, having been duly seconded, was put to vote 

 and passed. 



The President : The next item on our program is a little 

 series of five minute talks by the students of the Connecticut 

 Agricultural College. 



We want you to know that we have some of our boys up 

 there who have been paying special attention to horticultural 

 subjects. We have been trying to induce you to come up to 

 Storrs and see what we are doing, but as you will not come, 

 we have brought some of the boys dow^n here to show you a 

 little of what the College work is. The boys are not going 

 to tell you anything new, but simply show you a little w^hat 

 we are trying to do. We try to give them all the knowledge 

 and information we have about general principles, and leave 

 it to them to carry out the practice in the future. Our class 

 work is carried on in sections in different ways. The boys 

 that I have here are those that have given more or less atten- 

 tion to horticulture, and as each one will take but a few min- 

 utes, I do not think it will tire you out. Each will give a very 

 short talk or paper. The first being by ■Mr. S. B. Hollister 

 on "Fungicides and Insecticides." 



(This paper as well as others in the series will be found 

 among the Miscellaneous Papers and Reports, on page 238.) 



The President: That completes our program for the 

 forenoon. The meeting will now stand adjourned until half- 

 past one.
