Excerpt from Report of the Connecticut Pomological Society: For the Year 1901 With Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual Meeting, 1902 Mr. Wadsworth: Me. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I would say, as most of you know, that we got through at the last session of the Legislature an increase in our appropriation from the State of $500, which makes the income of the Society, at the present time, from that source, We also secured, Mr. President, for the suppression of the San Jose scale, and the other insect pests of the State an appropriation of which has been turned over to the Experiment Station at New Haven, and the work is now under the charge of Prof. Britton. You will remember that we had quite an argument whether that should be placed with the Agricultural College at Storrs, or with the Experiment Station at New Haven, but it was found that they were not prepared at Storrs at that time, and in such a condition that they could carry on the work to as good advantage to the fruit growers of the State as they were at the Experiment Station at New Haven, and so it was placed with the Station at New Haven. We believe that the passage of that bill will result in a great deal of good to the public, and especially to the fruit growers of the State.
