Charles Iddings suggested, that,
as there is not much to see out of
doors, so early in the spring, that
instead of the 1st Tuesday in the month
we our society should meet the last
Tuesday in each month. He thought we
would be likely to have better weather
for our first meeting; we would not
interfere with the June meeting of
the agricultural society at Rockville
nor the Fair in the fall, and our
last meeting would be late enough
to enjoy a display of Chrysanthemums.
The suggestion left for further consideration

We were informed that pine brush on
strawberry beds was a good protection
and that turnips merely covered with
their own tops kept sound and good.

Several members thought fruit had kept
better than usual this winter.
