 seconded by Thos. Littlehales, and carried. That in view of the great 

 loss to fruit growers from the prevalence of the " Black Knot " in 

 plums and cherries, and the " Yellows " in peaches, the Legislature 

 of the Province of Ontario be requested to make the statute in re- 

 lation to these diseases more stringent, so that the two most formida- 

 ble enemies of the fruit growers of Ontario may be speedily stamped 

 out. 



The meeting then adjourned.
