Aside from the meetings in the society's room in the county court house, during the win ter months, the sessions were held ;t the residences of some of its members, where well-flilled baskets were tak?n and the day was spent inspecting the I orchards, plantations and home sur- roundings of the host. : "In February, as usual, the annual ! dinner was partaken of by at least one hundred and fifty members and their friends. At this dinner, the women folks friendly vie with one another in j the preparation of such delicacies as they desire to take, and take much Dleasure in commenting on the good qualities of these articles as they are I placed on the dining room tables. "During the year, a number of good addresses were given by speakers pre viously selected, on topics of interest, such as history, literature, agriculture horticulture, travels- and reminiscences which are subsequently offered for pub lication In our county newspapers. Officers for 1007 are President, Isaac G. Dougan; vice president, Wal lace C. Reynolds; recording secretary. I Hon. Walter Ratliff; treasurer, T. ii. I Caleb W. King. Fruits Disappointment was general ' in this locality, owing to the partial failure in the fruit yield, owing doubt less to the late freezes and cold raw winds following. All varieties were apparently in the best of condition. which, with an abundance of healthy! bloom, gave evidence of a bountiful crop, but the results were anything but j satisfactory.

Duchess varieties bore any fruit, while, Flemish Beauty, Sheldon, Seckel, Law-j rence and Bartlett pears were seen In j most every orchard. Pear blight was comparatively unknown in this locality this year, and the trees made an ex cellent growth. Plums Scarcely an individual tree yielded any plums this year, for all the bloom was most profuse, due, perhaps, as stated above, to climatic conditions in early spring. Cherries An almost total failure, even with the sweet cherries that are so often the sorts most desired. Many new pear orchards are begin ning to come into bearing that are be ing watched with much interest. Quinces Singularly enought, most quinces bushes, when protected, yield ed satisfactorily, and the demand m this section was met by the abund ance of this kind of fruit and that too, of good quality. A few seasons have passed since the bulk of the quinoe bushes were killed back, so that they hare now recovered their former size and Tigor for ample fruiting. Peaches Not only the seedling, but the grafted peach trees bore a lig;it crop of peaches. So many trees dropped their fruit when about half matured, while some others ripened it quite unevenly. Grapes Many of the grape growers ol this section are abandoning the vine yard, owing to the prevalence of the grape-berry worm. This insect ren dered some of the varieties this year practically valueless as the tender rind varieties seem to suffer most, and naturally enough, are the sorts that are most desired. Strawberries Most plantations suf fered severely by the late freezes la-st spring, yet at least one half a crop was gathered that met a most, ready sale.

Eneomology and Ornithology. In- tereat of late has become more general in ne subject of the relationship of the birds and insects to fruit growing, This has been demonstrated to the sat-1 isfaction of the fruit grower, so that ! he sees the need of protecting the ! birds to lessen the chances of insect I attacks to his trees, vines, canes and 't maturing fruits. This method tends ; not only to the increased yield in 1 bushels, of fruit but to the grade and ' improved condition of the fruit itself. which from a commercial view is of gre" value, resulting m nigner prices and lessening the chances of the draw- backs to the keeping of stored or re frigerated ripened fruit.

Several varieties of the so called resurrection ;lant have appeared among the novelties offered by florists, but the original is the rose of Jericho. Along the shores cf the Dead sea, far nnnrrfi ?i v- to Via nut nt raVi ff tVc spray, trrows this rose, a little nlant i famed in many a legendary story. which, when ripened, rolls up its sprays and Dranchcs into a curious little brown ball.

After It chances to reach s;.;ie damp place, in about ten days, the moisture hns wrought a mira cle, for the onoe dead is alive again, green and crowing. The old time pilgrims, who brought back this plant with them from the Holy Land, told wonderful tales f its power to bloom out on Christmas day and gave it the name oj resurrection flower. Another old legend names It St. Mary's rose, because it is said that when Joseph and Mary were fleeing from Egypt one of these flowers grew; from every spot where they halted to rest. ; The dry bail when unfolding drops its seed, and from these It may be cul- tivated as an annual.
