    3. Hi! Here's another little article that I found that might interest the list - Jean Pomological Society. MR. EDITOR: I would like to call the attention of farmers, especially fruit-growers, in Lawrence county, to the importance of forming a County Pomological Society. It appears to me that the interests of the public demand it. Perhaps no region of country is better adapted to the cultivation of fine fruits than Lawrence county; and yet we see yearly a large amount of almost worthless fruit reared, which is really not fit to take to market, but which many people are compelled to buy, because they can get no better. All this trash might very soon be displaced by good, wholesome, delicious fruit, if a little exertion was put forth in the right direction; for good fruit will sell at fair prices whenever it is put in market. Now, a Pomological Society, it strikes me, is just what is needed to bring this about. - What say the fruit growers to this? I should like to hear any suggestions that may be made in this matter. I would suggest, if it meets the views of others, that arrangements be made during the coming fair, to form such a society. NELSON COX, Windsor township, August 23.
