Two EVENING" during the Fair Pomo-
logical meetip9s were held by tie fruit
growers for discussion. An interchange of
views on the grape disease showed that
nothing is yet known that Is OF any value,
either SIS to the causes or cure. The rot
had everywhere prevailed, except on the
Lake Shore. Kelley's Island has suffered

The Wool Growers Association held
meeting in the Senate Chamber, the Vice
President, DR.. s. n. Caldwell, presiding.
The following resolutions were introduced,
discussed and adopted:
let. ResoLUeE, That the improved Amer

Tor the wool grower TO raise -.-i...
Judge 7. Q. Jones wanted to know if
the Association was got up especially in
the interest of Merino sheep men.
ID. Mr.. Lshm thought that the interest of
the wool growers wolld be best promoted
by growing the improved Spanish Aerino
sheep.
If there were advocates here for the pro-
duction of long or middle wooled sheer, Jet
them rise and state the advantages to, be
gained by growing such sheep. It is
claimed that the American Meiino pro-
duced more wool for the amount of car
csss and feed than any other breed of sheep.
That while there was 8 general effort on
the part of manufacturers and speculstors
to infuse into the minds of growers the
.ides that there wss great amount of un-
necessary grease and waste in the Berino
wool, the growers should remember that q
certain amount of oil was necessary to pre-
serve the good qualities of the wool, felt
ing properties, etc.
hesotped, That a committee be appoint
ed to report TO our next annual meeting
any necessary national legislation thai
would efficiently protect the wool grower
Colonel Harris, Of the Ohio Farmer, sale

tentions and even sneeringIy spoken o

ing Congress to protect them in this gres'
and growing branch of industry, WOO

wool markets and talked with leading
manufacturers and dealers. They ha(
told him that our Wool Growers Conven
ton in the spring had clinched the crop
and prevented them from buying it, tha
there were very light stocks of fmportec
woods In the market, that there must be a.
advance before October, otherwise tim
of very high prices during February, 81
has been the case fen heretofore.
/ ResoLUed, That the President of this AS
socistion appoint committee of three {,
correspond with the principal wool gro werl
and the several wool-growers' association
CT the Union upon the propriety of organ
izing 8 National Society of wool-growers
and said appointment to be reported BY
him to the Ohio Farmer.

tion passed by the Ohio Wool-growers
Association at the late State Sheep Shear

the fine woods of Ohio, brook washed, ar,
worth eighty five cents to one dollar pc
