REMEDRs.-As the larv@ lie within the
tWigs for nearly a year, they may easily
be destroyed by gathering and burning the
fallen twigs at any convenient time before
the first ploughing of the orchard. Another
precaution is suggested by remark of Mr.
KinSey. that trees on the outside rows Of the
orchard are SO far the only ones attacked; and
that this beetle must work on other kinds Of
trees in the wood ADJOINING AS the persim-
mon and hickory are favoFite trees OF the grid
Ter, it may be well to cut down all trees Of this
kind near the orchard
PHYLLoXERA have not been able to study
phylloxera at all since our last meeting If
any grape growers have met them on the
leaves or roots OF their vines the society will
doubtless be glad to have their experience
NoxIoUs IEsECTs.-If the members Of the So
ciety desire to have any particular insect pests
investig ated, will thank them to call my at
tention to them, that may say something Of
them in my next report
METEOROLOGICAL BOoKs-Every horticulturist
should study the insects which infest his plants
and trees, just as he studies the latter. To en-
courage this study, have recommended in
every report one book as the best for begin
ners, viz: FLINT Harris Insects Injurious to
Vegetation" To those who have this. recon-
mend "Packard's Guide to the Study Of In
sects" To all recommend Bulletin No. of
the United States chronological Commission,
Department Of the Interior Insects Iniuri-
GUS to Forest and Shade Trees, by A S. Pack
ard. This is a pamphlet Of 275 pages, with
one hundred illustrations, and is all that its
title claims. Any one may procure it from the
Department OF the Interior through any repre-
sentative in Congress. Harris Insects costs 81
and Packard's Guide S. The three will con-
stitute nice little chronological library.
j. e. WMLET. Committee.
The society to-day after quite an animated
discussion uDon the respective merits Of Seve-
raj places. decided to hold it's next annual
meeting at GAINESVILLE, where a hearty well
come was assured to its members.
The rem aiming hours of the session will be
chiefly devoted TO receiving the reports of com
mittees and other routine duties.
The meeting has been quite a success the
present year. and our citizens, the ladies espe-
cially, turned out in large numbers to view
and admire the magnificent display of fruit in
Browns hall
This society is doing much for the material
development of Georgia. and its membership
should number hundreds.
POLITICAL
Reports to the contrary, there is in reality
will withhold their support from Mr. Stephens
when called upon to deposit their ballots.
Bibb will roll up a splendid majority for the
glorious "Old COmmOner." A few unrecon-
structed, impracticable, old Confederates-
honest. but full of prejudice-refuSe Z" o fall
into line" But the number will diminish as
the fact grows upon them that they, In epen-
dent like, are kicking out Of the traces of the
party, and antagonizing with three-fourths of
their brethren in the state. What greater
unanimitY than was accorded in the late con-
vention to Mr.. Stephens can ever be expected
in State like Georgia, whose domain is so
vast and her interests climate and produc-
tons so varied and diverse. II. II. ].
