Fruit Committee.

We sugge,t to the worthy President of our Dis.
trct Agricultural Society the propriety of naming
an AD INTERIM FRrIr COMMITTEE, whose duty it
shall be to recievs and test specimens of fruit
throughout the season and report to the Fall Ex-
hibition. There are auch committees in all the
other districts that have agricultural organizations
and the State Society has also a standing commit
tee of the kind at Columbx. Indeed, it is impoa-
sible to decide who raises the finest fruits Of nil
descriptions, without such a Committee. Plum,
cherries, aprcots and peaches are out of season
befnrc "ur Autumnal Fair comes on. So ars grapes
and mrlont, nesrly. From the rneagre showing of
fruit that eau then DO made, it is impossible Two
sAy) t" form any idea Of the fruit-growisg capaci
ties of our District But with Committee to
meet from time to time through tho Spring aud
Summer months, before whom fresh sunples of our
fruit may be placed M they mature, something Of
good might b, effected in this department of home
industry. We drop the suggestion for what it is
worth, and at tho instance Of several others who
think the thing desirable.
