Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois State Horticultural Society for 1872, Vol. 6: Being the Proceedings of the Seventeenth Annual Meeting, Held at Centralia, December 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th The disastrous effect of the unprecedented cold of last winter has cast a gloom over almost the entire peach-growing region of the State; but this calamity is not so truly discouraging as the fact that at the time, above all others in the history of this Society, when persistent research and experiments are imperatively demanded, to ascertain and prevent the causes of disasters to trees and fruits, our representatives in Springfield should refuse to place our Society in a position to enable it to continue its good work and to aid it, by a small appropriation, in publishing, for the benefit of the whole State, the results of its labors. The bill for an act to te-organize this Society passed one branch of the General Assembly almost unanimously, but was defeated in the other House by a small majority; so small, indeed, that it is within the power of the horticulturists of the State to secure its triumphant pass age at the next session. If every member of this Society shall hold a personal interview with the representatives of his district, in both houses of the General Assembly, and explain to them the nature and impor tance of our work, he will be almost certain to secure pledges from them to sustain the society by proper legislation. Let us all increase our diligence and zeal in our chosen work as we find new obstacles to be overcome, that our Society may sustain its position among the horticultural institutions of the land, and that its usefulness may continue unimpaired.
