Excerpt from Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1904 The program of the meeting bore mainly on fruit matters and called out large and enthusiastic audiences. The introduction of the brown-tail moth and the approaching danger from the gypsy moth were ably discussed, and before the meeting was over a committee was chosen to formulate a bill for the proteo tion of the State from these and other injurious insects, and later to ask the legislature to enact the bill into a law. The commit tee attended to the duty assigned them and without a dissenting voice the bill they prepared was passed by the legislature. The papers and discussions presented at this meeting were of a high order, and assured everyone that the fruit growers of the State are fast progressing in the best methods of orcharding. These papers and a resume of the discussions may be found in the pages following. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
