STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



In order that every precaution for preventing tlie spread of the disease 

 in the state might be taken, arrangements weie made to cooperate with 

 tlie United States ])epartment of Agriculture for a thorough survey of 

 all of tlie nurseries in whicli wliite pines are being grown, also of orna- 

 mental and forestry plantations of white pines as well as currants and 

 gooseberries, whicli are the hosts of this disease in two of its stages; 

 the Department of Agriculture agreeing to furnish trained specialists 

 to make the inspection and locate the disease while this department was 

 to take charge of the eradication of infected specimens. 



The Bureau of Plant Industry, through its Office of Forest Pathology, 

 placed the work in charge of Dr. L. H. Pennington, of the School of 

 Forestr-y of Syracuse University, who with eight assistants entered upon 

 the work on May 15th but, with the exception of the white pines referred 

 to above, no trace of the disease has been found in Michigan. The work 

 of inspecting the white pines Avill be completed by the middle of July, 

 after which the inspection of currants and gooseberries, both native and 

 cultivated, will be taken up. 



The following is a list of the Michigan nurseries licensed to grow 

 and sell nursery stock in Michigan, also of the licensed dealers and of the
