Abstract
PARIS. Academy of Sciences, September 11.—M. Lœwy in the chair.—Treatment of vines infested by Phylloxera with peat moss impregnated with schist, by M. F. de Mély. The results of the treatment proposed last year have been controlled by the Inspector-General of Agriculture and by the Inspector-General of the Compagnie de Lyon. As a consequence of their visit, the Minister of Agriculture has sent Dr. Crolas, of Lyon, to organise further applications of the method. A vine already attacked by Phylloxera has been under treatment since June, and although some of the insects have survived, the vine has not turned yellow.
