COMMITTEE ON INSTITUTIONS 
Resolved : That the Florida State Hor¬ 
ticultural Society in session at Lakeland, 
Florida, May 4, 1922, appreciating the 
immense value of the results already ob¬ 
tained through the aid of the United 
States Department of Agriculture spec¬ 
ialists engaged in investigating methods 
for citrus fruit improvement by selec¬ 
tion and breeding, the control of insect 
pests and diseases, together with prob¬ 
lems related to storage and decay in trans¬ 
it, all of which work has for its end a 
greater profit to the grower and a reas¬ 
onable cost to the consumer, do urgently 
request that the budget for the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture provide for a 
more adequate support through increased 
appropriations, to make effective 'these 
lines of work; and that a special commit¬ 
tee of three be appointed by the President 
of this Society to take steps with the 
proper authorities to secure such increas¬ 
ed appropriations for the investigations 
concerned as are warranted by the great 
importance of the industry and the dem¬ 
onstrated value of the work. 
Passed.
