Horticultural Meeting
Encouraging.
INSECTS ARE WORKING.
ALFALFA AND ALSikE CLOVER,
1T is FEARED, ARE BEING DAM.
AGED BY LITTLE DEsTRoYERs
FRUIT PROSPECTS GOOD.

The regular meeting of the Wayne
County Horticultural society Saturday
afternoon practically developed into a
corn meeting. 1t had been announced
by the president that as there would
be no lecturer on the program and
that the time would be spent chiefly
in the discussion of the different
methods of saving and testing seed
corn. This announcement resulted i'll
the representation of many parts of
the county by prominent farmers, who
have for many years given the sub
ject of corn growing their deepest at
tention.
Wheat is Good.
At the beginning of the meeting the
president called for reports on the
condition of growing wheat, clover
grass and alfalfa of this section of
the country. This resulted in the
almost universal report, that grow
ing wheat at this time was in the best
of condition; that the wheat plants
had made an excellent growth before
cold weather and with a very moder-
ate winter they have maintained a
comparatively thrifty condition which.
with the small amount of ''hcaved up
plants. gives the rating of wheat at
this time about the best in recent
Years.
Danger of Injury.
Clovers. both of one and two wears
standing, are beginning 10 look green
already. and with the continued warm
temperature, the fields will soon begin
10 show their sreenness and reach a
stage of growth that makes them very
liable TO injury from the late spring
frosts
Insects Busy.
Alfalfa and alsike clover were among
the other crops that received some
consideration. It is feared that the
insect which has in recent years been
devastating the fields of the red clov
ers. would injure the roots OF these
two crops. 1t will take time, it was
pointed out, to decide the important
question of the growing of the se
crops as this insect has already beer
reported 10 have attacked one of them
in certain localities.
Seed Corn Scarce.
From the expressions giveu By
those present at the meeting there
will evidently be a scarcity in tht
supply OF good seed corn in thi< 10
c2lity. Several of the more careful
farmers save their seed corn prior Il
