PROFESSOR ATWOOD RESPONDS.
The speech excited great deal OF
laughter. and seemed to be by no one
enioYed more than by Professor Atwood,
who arose to reply. He declared what he
had seen. and that he had merely stated
the result Of his observation. If ne mad
been too harsh he was slad to learn It.
to find that the conditions were not SO
bad as he had supposed. Mr. Guerrant
who said that he. too. had Travelled In
Europe, sustained Senator Lupton in the
statement that the conditions here are,
If ANYTHING, better than there. He agreed
with the Senator also in saying that he
could get farm labor whenever he want
ed it, and that SO far as leaving the
country is concerned, if the 1aborert could
increase his advantages by coming to tie
city. then he was glad for him to do so.
Others followed, declaring that the con-
ditions whatever they are, certainly
needed remed lying. Mr.. Otey thought
that the farmers should pay more atten-
tentjon] to their Iaborers. Mr.. Edwards.
of Petersburg, a@native of England. sided
with Professor Atwood and declared that
the condition of the laborer, particularly
in the South, so far as he had been able
to observe. was bad. At the conclusion
of Mr. Edwards short. but humorous.
speech. the society adjourned until the
s nlSnC SESSION..
Night Session. $50.
The evening session of the Society was
a most interesting one and was largelei
attended, many of the members of thf
Constitutional Convention from the fruit
growing sections Of the State being
present.
The feature of the. evening was an able
and interesting Illustrated address on th
ncare of Fruit Trees, by Prof p
Atwood, OF 4Blaeksburg Prof. Alwoof
took the tree from its incipiency and
followed it to Its old age, showing how
to obtain the bestsresults under all con.
ditions In all stages. He also illustrated
the soft in several sections. and demon.
sstrated how trees should be cared form
the various districts of the State.
The lecture was listened to attentively
and was the talk Of the hour in the lob
bies last night.
The members Of the Society will take
