ness, we don’t want to* get hold of any 
wild cat that we can’t turn loose. There 
is considerable danger of it. I know of one 
man who tried a harmless (?) remedy in 
his fly infested grove, and it has nearly 
destroyed his grove. Now, we want to- 
send some man who is willing to take 
this matter up thoroughly and do* it in an 
intelligent manner. No doubt you appre¬ 
ciate that fact 
Now, so far as your President going 
abroad, he is going merely as a superfic¬ 
ial observer. I will not have time or abili¬ 
ty to take up this subject, but of course 
I will observe carefully and do what 
I can for you. 
I think this resolution is one of the 
most important things that has been be¬ 
fore us and I hope it will be adopted. 
Motion made, seconded and carried 
that the Committee sent to the American 
Bornological Society, namely, Messrs. 
Tabor, Hume and Painter, visit the De¬ 
partment and submit this resolution in 
writing. 
Prof. Swingle—I wish to make a mo¬ 
tion that our retiring president be ap¬ 
pointed an official representative of this 
Society on his trip and that any courtesy 
extended to him will be appreciated by 
the Society. I have had experience, and 
I think something official will aid him in 
getting access to gardens, both private 
and public and get him facilities that a 
strictly private citizen might not be able 
to secure. Motion seconded and carried.
