THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
In the absence of the President, Mr..
Aberthenay read the annual address, which
was finely written paper, reviewing the
early struggles of the association, its
gradual growth and present triumph. The
president contrasted the evils and benefits
of planting trees and wheat on our
prairies, and warmly advocated fruit rails
ing in all places particularly
on the open prairies, where
the trees form wind-breaks
and diminish the force of billiards. and
other storms. He also mentioned the IN
heatlhfulness of fruit which had to be ex-
ported from remote states, becoming stale
and partially decayed before reaching the
place of consumption. In reviewing the
list of Minnesota fruits Mr.. Harris recon-
mended the culture of grapes, and sug-
gested that large premiums be offered
for this class of fruits to stimulate
experiments in that direction. He further
advised thorough and systematic expert
ments with apples. The address closed
with few words On entomology, and the
recommendation that the association elect
an entomologist whose duty it should be
to investigate, and write paper on the
subject, which paper be published in the
annual report, thirty pages being set
apart for that purpose.

Professor Porter, of the State university,
delivered an address, extending to the asso-
citation a hearty welcome to the university
and to the city. He mplimented the
society on their perseverance and success,
and encouraged them to continue their
work of improving the fruit of
this country. The professor closed by
reading letter from Commissioner Lor-
ing, stating that Prof. Riley who was an
nounced to lecture before the association
would be unable to be present, and that
his place would be flled,by Prof Baker, of
Topeka. Kansas, who will deliver lecture
on the Forestry of the Northwest"
