Law Concerning Peach Yellows.—In a recent number reference was made to the uselessness of the present act regarding the destruction of black knot and peach yellows, and that the Farmers Institute of Lincoln has resolved to co-operate with the Canadian Institute in Toronto, in seeking some amend- ments to the act which would make it more easily operated.
