Parkes was elected temporary chairman, and Elijah Salisbury, secretary. A general discussion took place, on plans for them for-ingof an efficient organization. R. C. Allred, instructor in agri culture in the High School, and County Horticultural Inspector, gave a short talk on the best method of organizing, and also talked briefly on insect pests.
