To the Members of The Florida Horticultural Society: 
desire to call your attention to the discussion commencing on 
page 108 and the resolution on page 110. If you were at the meeting I 
do not need to urge you to take up the matter with your Congressmen and 
Senators. if you were not in attendance, please read carefully. I 
hope you v.ill take up the matter at once and lend your influence towards 
getting the necessary help. You may have no blight in your grove now, 
but it may appear. It is better to help keep blight and other diseases 
out of your grove than to have to fight it after it has appeared. 
Also do not forget that at the next meeting of the Legislature the 
Society expects to ask for aid to print our minutes. You can help very 
much by a word to your representative if you meet him, or a letter if 
you do not know him personally. if either of the above fail, it will be 
because you waited for someone else to act instead of yourself. 
Hoping you will not drop the matter from your mind with the read¬ 
ing, but be up and doing, I am 
Yours respectfully, 
E. 0. PAINTER, 
Secretary Florida State Horticultural Society.
