iii legislation, tho day was the dull-
est OF the session. The big tax eluali-
xAtipn bill of tho farmers did not come
III, NA WINS, expected, but Is still In the
hfirsis OF the special committee. A
meSnher OF that committee said to the
NHpuDIlGAN correspondent this after
noon that already there were more
\ AmehAsnents suggested than there
were sections in the bill, and he didn't
KNOW when they would get it In
y Ailepe.
Il is understood that Senator Hall
tleninnds that the personal property
fonturc shall cover everything, House
hold furniture, hric-a-brac, carpets,
Bedding, and In fact everything, his
cape. Tho impression Is that IL that
: cnmmittee hliects NIL the amends
nsenfs suggested, they Will have the
melancholy pleasure of attending the
.fnhoi4al of that hill before it gets far ON
Its Legislative journey.
The flowers and peach growers had
tho Hoor this afternoon, and those OF
the members OF both houses who re-
1nniped over were entertained with q
thorough discussion on the subject OF
Z peach yellDws.
4 Among the leading peach growers
< Ersaafit we're Il. II. Bancroft, w. 4.
Ease, John ). Rosa, William salisbury,
4 Dr. n. A. Vandyke ]. Alexander Full
ton and A. H. Cahall.
4 Representative Chapman, chairman
Of the Committee on Agriculture, pre-
eiaed at the meeting, and John j.
Husn made the first address. Mr.. Rosa
alluded to the law passed at the last
session which enforced the destrue-
tiosl of diseased trees, and which was
limited In its jurisdiction to q narrow
3 belt In Kent County.
I'M He resided in that belt and knew
frcm pixcti al experience it was u good
Law. He had lived up to its rrovis
~ IONS, and uprooted every tree in hiS
orchards that in the slightest way
Showed symptoms of the ''yellows.'
N He knew his orchards had been hene
A ntpd by this heroic treatment, as III
had kept tho disease from spreading
n Bit Just outside this belt We're hi.
N nelghbors' orchards; the Law did no
reach them, and though some of thea
for their own and their nelghbors
prutection-d destroyed diseased trees
others did not, and his orchards, a
y we'll as other orchards, We're constant
~ Az In danger of contamination.
Destruetioniof the diseased trees wa.
the only remedy. And their destruc
tion should be compelled by law
There was u law compelling the kill
Ing OF cattle affected with pleuro
pneumonia. and this peach tree diseas
isifectcd the interests of this State ton
fold more than any possible cattle dis
ease. The peach industry was tn
money industry of the State, but uil
hess some steps We're taken to presery,
It the days of the peach in this section
were numbered.
He cited New Castle County as Al
instance. There, but few yesrS since
thrifty orchards abounded. To-da
the culture was almost enhrely ahau
doued The yellows had killed IL. Il
Michigan every remedy under the SUI
bad been tried in vain. The orchard
OF the State were nearly all killed be
fore they tried the total destruction
process. But a law compelling til
destruction of diseased trees WIS pass
ed and enforced, and to-day the indus
try Is prosperous again in Michigan.
Aessrs. Bancroft, Case, Cahall an
Fulton agreed with everything MI
Rosa said, and Mr.. Fulton submittel
the amendment to the present la,
which the growers had agreed to.
They were TO extend the operation
vt,ll tFAF Es.1r Ia
GaFcrnor to appoint three commits
elnners in every hundred, whose dat
II shall be to inspect the orchards /
their respective hundreds at lea,
twice year and condemn all disease
trees found; and who shall have pUHt
to compel their destruction, root an
branch
From present appearances it is a
most certain that tho demands oil III
farmers will be complied with, an
that the amendments they sugget
will be added to the law.
