Mr. CORY: / sm in favor of the propo
sition 10 reconsider the vote by which $500
were appropriated TO the State Horticul-
tural Society. Not that We may be able to
strike out, but that We amend by making
the appropriation $500 ms esd OF $500 / am
surprised to hear gentlemen argue that this
appropriation is 10 no purpose. My friend
from Putnam argues thai IL we appropriate
TO this association we will be called
upon TO appropriate tor tbs tlle-makers and
kindred associations. My friend should
remember that the tile-maksrs are very few
in number and organized solely to make
their business profitable to themselves. On
the other hand the Horticultural Society is
composed largely OF men who give OF their
time and money 10 promote the interests of
a science which properly developed must
benefit every man, woman and child in the
State. / heard long ago Of the man who
didn't care continental whether the
wheat crop was goOd-bscsuse he bought his

the first time to-day, and IN this DIS ;ussi1u,

large return to the people. To prope-ly

Mr.. COPELAND. l hope ii will not delay
the purpose of the amendment, whatever ii
may be. hope it will be increased rather
than decreased. What have 20 say in re-
gard to this matter is in the interest OF a
growing industry, in the southern part of
the State particularly. That is the grape
culture. Throughout the entire southern
part of the State there is a decided tendency
TO develop the culture of the grape. In the
last two years IN the experience OF the HOT-
tcultural Society through this de-
partment, The interests of tbs
industry have prospered and in
behalf OF the grape culture IN the southern
part OF the Slate, l say ] hops the members

this society has sustained to this industry.
and place it alongside this 500. This is
very small and very insignif can't sum com

State hope it VII be made.
