DISCUSSION on MR. McMURTRIES PAPER.
Prof SimaD said tho subject was one OF great inter

at its Philadelphia meeting, to investigate the subject of
poison of vegetables by the Of Paris green aud the
positive results which Prof McMurrie Lad obtained

should have been tOxca poison enough IN the plants 10

them. lilo mentioned an analogous ease of similar de-
srcti0n Of ileos IN Eson, Mass where trees were I'M

works; and the allegation that 1t the salts Of
copper which did tho mischief Chemical investigation

the quantity Of copper IN the ash OF the woods Of those
trees that had been Destroyed all contained abundant
evidence OF an anomalous quantity OF copper. Whether
certain that the poisoning In that case from

An Ohio gentleman, who owns a farm
near Worthington, said recently. while
here that the farmers in Ohio were all
growing rich. Where they own the
land, the increase in its value makes
them rich, but besides this their crops
are annually converted into ready mon
ey and they raise their own food supply.
During the recent visit of State Aud

we had opportunity for extended con-
versation upon various subjects of in

his opinion that farming pays better
