VIII. The Agri-Horticultural Show. The Secre- 

 tary's action is confirmed in offering at the forthcoming 

 Agri-Horticultural Show a cup, value $150, to the exhibitor, 

 taking the greatest number of cups in Division A, Section 2. 



IX. Prevention of Plant Disease. Mr. Harrison 

 brings up the question of the prevention of Plant Disease. 

 Everybody, he said, was on the look out for disease. There 

 was the danger of a fungoid pest getting serious hold in 

 the many and scattered small native holdings and he 

 thought they should approach the Government to give the 

 Department of Agriculture stringent powers to deal with 

 cases of neglect to report disease. He understood that 

 Government was now dealing with the question, and they 

 might show their sympathy. 



Mr. Lake having supported the idea of moving in the 

 matter, Mr. Harrison undertakes to formulate a motion and 

 to place same on the Agenda of the next Meeting. 



X. Mr. Lake similarly gives notice that he will bring 

 forward at their next meeting the question of licensing 

 rubber dealers and of amending the Praedial Produce 

 Enactment. 



The Meeting terminates at noon. 



H. C. E. Zacharias, 



Secretary.
