Whereas, The serious ravages of our insect enemies claim our at- 

 tention, we therefore respectfully urge upon the Regents of the State 

 University, in their experiment station work, to make entomology 

 more prominent with special attention to such insects as are injurious 

 to horticulture. 

 • (Adopted at winter meeting, 1890.) 



Whereas, The present method of free seed distribution as practiced 

 by the Department of Agriculture is not productive of enough good 

 to warrant the expense : therefore be it 



Resolved, That the Nebraska State Horticultural Society request 

 the members of congress from Nebraska to use their influence to 

 have the aforesaid system abolished. 



(Adopted at winter meeting, 1890.) 



Whereas, The establishment of an experiment station in the 

 state of Nebraska, by the general government at an expense of $15,- 

 000 per year, was for the purpose of investigation and experimenta- 

 tion in the interests of agriculture; and 



Whereas, The live stock interests of Nebraska are of the greatest 

 importance to the people of the state, and as our owners of live stock 

 suffer more or less each year by reason of diseases among said live 

 stock : therefore be it 



Resolved, That the Experiment Station of the state of Nebraska 

 will serve the agricultural interests of the state in the highest degree 

 by continuing the investigation in regard to diseases of domestic ani- 

 mals, and for the purpose of such investigation the best talent 

 obtainable should be employed by those having said Experiment 

 Station in charge. 



(Adopted at winter meeting, 1890.) 



Resolved, That a committee of three (3) be appointed by the Presi- 

 dent, to act in conjunction with the State Dairymen's Association of 

 Nebraska, and such other state organizations as may determine to act 

 likewise to provide a system of state farmers' institutes in Nebraska.
