Enforcement of Our Horticultural Laws 



J. W. Pomeroy, Scappoose, Oregon, before State Horticultural Society Meeting at Corvallis 



I FEEL especially honored in l)eing 

 invited to speak to your honorable 

 bod>- this morning. I do not wish what 

 I may say to lie construed as coming 

 ollicially from the Board of Horticul- 

 ture. This would be erroneous. I simply 

 wish to call your attention to some of 

 the work that comes under my jurisdic- 

 tion, and to conditions as I as an indi- 

 vidual see them. One of the great con- 

 siderations that comes home to every 

 grower of plants or plant i)roducts is 

 the necessity of protection against pests 

 and diseases that infest them. In spite 

 of the many dilferent means that may 

 be adopted for the eradication of these 

 pests and diseases and of the many 

 sources of information at our disposal, 

 we find a large portion of people igno- 



ANKER 

 HOLTH 



The highest 



award of merit is 



the endorsement 



of a satisfied 



user. 



Read what the 



users say 



about it: 



Alva A. Stewart, Vancouver, Washington— 

 "The Self-Balancing Bowl, with no chance of 

 wobbling, puts the Anker-Holth in a class by 

 itself." 



O. C. Scofield, Banks, Oregon — "I have had 

 our local creamery (at Forest Grove) test our 

 skim milk and he said it was the best he ever 

 tested." 



H. H. Eastman. Albany, Oregon— "I have used 

 several makes, but I consider the Anker-Holth 

 the most simple and well constructed separator 

 I ever saw." 



Geo. W. Johnson, Clackamas, Oregon —"It 

 beats them all. I have had five different makes 

 of separators."

rant of their use and in some cases of 

 their existence, and another portion 

 unwilling to apply that means unless 

 compelled to by law. I want to pause 

 here to remind you that it is necessary 

 that we eradicate these pests and dis- 

 eases. They must be kept in control if 

 we are to successfully grow plants or 

 plant products. To this end rules and 

 laws adopted from time to time to meet 

 the problem as it has made its appear- 

 ance, and part of the work of the State 

 Board of Horticulture is to enforce 

 these laws and legulations. Upon my 

 resuming the ihities of Connnissioner of 

 the Slate 15oard of Horticulture, I was 

 tirm in the conviction that every 

 orchai'd in my district would be 

 sprayed at the ])roi)er time and that 

 every tiee not bringing forth good fiuit 

 would be inunedialely hewn down, and 

 that bug or fungi tliat played havoc 

 with fruit branch would post haste 

 meet its death or leave for another cli- 

 mate. 1 was not long in learning, how- 

 ever, that these were the deductions of 

 a fool, and 1 began to wonder why my 

 dreams of a millenium in that Hue did 

 not materialize. 



I talked with and uiged inspectors to 

 action in various counties of my dis- 

 trict and became very ini])atient with 

 some of them because the law had not 

 been enforced in some instances as 

 readily as I had anticijjated. It soon 

 became evident to my mind that there 

 were certain localities and districts 

 where law enforcement was an easy 

 task, while in other sections it was next 

 to impossible to gel i-esults. It is true 

 we probably would get the conditions 

 renuvhed ])artially or in a half-hearted 

 way for one season. This left us the 

 same old routine to go through tlie next 

 season. As I grapiiled with this proi)- 

 lem, I became more convinced of the 

 truth of what Dean Cordley told me 

 some years ago. He said: "You cannot 

 successfully bring aI)oul a reform by 

 force. It nuisl come llirougli a patient 

 and tactful education." I believe lliis 



holils true in any line of action. I can 

 lemendjei- when it was impossible to 

 enforce the law against boot-legging in 

 m>- own home town because the ma- 

 jority of people in that place were not 

 conscious of any wrong in the act. 

 Now, however, as a result of a cam- 

 paign of education, public sentiment 

 has changed to such a degree that a 

 law-breaker would get six months in 

 jail so quick it would make his head 

 swim. 1 have, therefore, been brought 

 lo this conclusion; that a great part of 

 the iMciblem of horticulture law enforc- 

 ing lies, not so much with the ollicials 

 acting as policemen as it does witli the 

 growers themselves. I believe the in- 

 spector must he more of an advisor and 



1 protects 

 ur trees against 

 I crawling insects, 

 ' worms and ants, but 

 does not hinder respira- 

 tion of the tree "skin" as 

 do sticky resinous mixtures 

 when painted on. 

 Treesavin lasts a whole season. 

 Indispensible for preventing ' 'bleed- 

 er" from cuts and wounds. Easily re- 

 moved and replaced. 

 While it does better work than any other sticky 

 tree protector, Treesavin is cheaper to use and takes 

 one-tenththe time to apply. Made in rolls 4 in. wide. 

 10 yds. long, sufficient to cover !' trees 12 in. diameter. 

 If your dealer can't supply you, order direct.
