"MARYsvIILE, October l7th.-At meeting

The correspondent must have been laboring
under amisappTehension. Though the subject of
irrigation had been set for discussion at that
meeting its consideration was postponed, and
there was no discussion on the subject There
was no declaration by the Society as to the COM
parative merits of irrigated and non-irrigated
fruit exhibition and the fact is that nearly all
OF the members of the Society opposed to irri-
CATION, believing that their orchards and vine
yards are better without it, and that their fruit
grown without irrigation is superior to irrigated
fruit. Irrigation Is advocated for valley lands
by small number of persons here, but only as
means of increasing the profits of horticult-
ure, which have always been large in this
