marily, they -wwe advised that the in- 

 s])ector was not doing his duty. I know 

 that the pinbh'nis of this county are not 

 llie lacli of poHce force, but the laclv of 

 practical and expert advice and educa- 

 tion. Now, whose fauU is this, but tlial 

 of the growers themselves? All other 

 interests in the county see that their 

 county oflicials provide for their needs, 

 but the fruit grower has been content 

 to sit and blame the law. In spite of 

 the fact that this is one of the largest 

 fruit-growing counties in my district. 

 What the county needs is a practical 

 and scientific advisor first, and a quar- 

 antine oflicer last. But above all, we 

 want the healthy, wide-awake interest 

 and cooperation of the growers them- 

 selves. I wish to say aside here that 

 there has been considerable effort on 

 the part of other states and some in 

 this state to oiiginate and establish uni- 

 form horticultural laws. It is dillicull, 

 however, for me to see how this vision- 

 ary solution can be realized with this 

 state as a factor. Oregon occupies a 

 peculiar position in this matter. Port- 

 land being one of the principal ports of 

 entry, much trallic docs and will enter 

 here from all paits of the world, whose 

 ultimate destination will be many parts 

 of the United States. When we consider 

 the source of these shipments entering 

 here, it must be clear to us all that Ore- 

 gon can never repeal or change her 

 present quarantine law with regard to 

 her practice of inspecting horticultural 

 imports at point of delivery. In fact, 

 any tampering with this law would 

 undo the work of years. There are 

 probably small changes that could be 

 made each year in our horticultural 

 laws that would simplify and aid con- 

 ditions, as has been resorted to in the 

 I)ast. But we nuisl keep in mind always 

 the protection of our great and growing 

 ])lant industry. The imi)ression, how- 

 ever, that I wish lo leave with you as 1 

 conclude is that we must in our rational 

 enforcement of our horticultural laws 

 have your loyal support and coopera- 

 tion. 



Some New Facts Concerning

For a brief statement concerning 

 tliese leaf lesions and proof that thc\ 

 are caused by lldcilliis (inuilouonis I 

 sliall (|uote from my publication, to 

 which I have already referred: "In 

 the majority of cases the leaf infections 

 stall at the margin and are either lat- 

 eral or terminal, although cential 

 lesions have been found in some cases 

 on apple leaves. The lesions on the 

 apple leaves are a light brown or yel- 

 lowish brown and fre(iuenlly show a 

 faint purplish border at tiie advancing 

 edge. In active lesions the advancing 

 edge shows a narrow watery zone. 

 Those on i)car leaves are daiker in 

 color and exhibit a Tuoltling of various 

 shades of dirty brown. There is a 

 noticeable tendency for the bacteria lo 

 advance more rai)i(lly down the midrib

 young lesions are more or less triangu-
