I08 THE CONNECTICUT FOMOEOGICAE SOCIETY. 



You might just as well split a corn-stalk open in the mid- 

 dle of the winter and taste it. It will have the same fresh 

 flavor. The same is true of the apples of Oregon. Beau- 

 tiful to look at, but no flavor. Let us stick to our own 

 State and own tow^n. You can get more out of five acres 

 right here than in ten times that number in the West or 

 Northwest. Out in Manitoba were sent shiploads of people 

 from Europe to raise wheat. How^ much did they raise last 

 year? Not any. There is almost as much harvest season 

 in Manitoba as the Eskimo has. You don't have to go there 

 to get hard luck ; you can get it here. Cultivate your own 

 countr}-. Your markets are here to take care of all you 

 raise. 



With Mr. Fullerton's bright talk the speaking was 

 brought to a close. 



Mr. Hale gracefully thanked all who had contributed to 

 the pleasure and success of the banquet, and at 10.30 the de- 

 lightful occasion came to an end. As the company broke up 

 it was the unanimous expression that this evening's session had 

 been the most enjoyable of any in the history of the Society 

 and that the banquet should be made a permanent feature of 

 each recurrino- annual meeting.
