2i8 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Cross : In New York stale they have to fumigate 

 stock. Anything that comes in from any contiguous state 

 has to be accompanied by a certificate of fumigation, otherwise 

 it can't come in. There is no chance of dilly-dallying about 

 it, and if it isn't fumigated it has got to be destroyed. I know 

 of a case where there was a consignment of a thousand trees 

 came in from New Jersey, and it was just after this law went 

 into effect, and the party did not abide by the law. and he 

 had to pay the consequences, and it cost him a lot of money. 



Prof. Britton : I would like to have it distinctly under- 

 stood that the resolution is not yet in proper shape, and it 

 has got to be talked over with the nurserymen and the com- 

 mittee. The point is whether a change shall be made in that 

 part of the law, and whether it should be put in in the form 

 of compulsory fumigation, or in some other way. 



The resolution was then put to vote and passed unani- 

 mously. 



A Member : I would like to call up question 20 to be 

 answered by those who know something about it, and that 

 is, "What is the outlook for the peach crop the coming sea- 

 son?'' 



A Member : About a week ago I looked over a lot of 

 buds, and about 98 per cent, were good, practically all alive, 



A Member : All I have examined are all right, and all 

 the growers that I have talked with say that the crop is sure 

 at the present time ; of course, w^e don't know what may 

 come. 



Mr. Barnes : I suppose they are in fine condition ; and 

 I believe they promise w^ell for a crop. 



Mr. George Hale : I have tried them on five different 

 orchards on the lowest ground and the highest ground, and 

 they are all right on every piece of ground at the present 

 time. 



Mr. Jewell: Mr. President, earlier in the meeting the 

 question of the Secretary's salary came up, and I believe there 

 was no definite action taken. While I am not prepared to say 

 just what the amount should be, in that justice may be done
