THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 151 



very anxious to have some control measure for citrus canker, and we are working 

 in this direction ourselves as rapidly as ijossible ; but it must be admitted that the 

 chances for a successful cure or remedy are extremely remote. The chances of 

 anything being accomplished along this line are so very small that we would not be 

 justified in permitting any canker-infected trees to stand for a minute longer than 

 necessary, even for experimental purposes. 



It is even necessary to put under quarantine for many months the properties in 

 which canker-infected trees have been found, and no one is allowed to go into such 

 properties except under the supervision of our inspectors and with the practice of 

 very rigid disinfecting precautions. The only w'ay that we could consider any test 

 of your treatment would be for you to submit the material to us with a statement as 

 to its nature and have it tested by our Plant Pathologist in our special laboratory. 

 As the number of supposed remedies offered for our consideration run into the 

 hundreds, we can not even consent to test this preparation unless after a careful 

 examination of your claims we can see that they possess some promise of possessing 

 hope or merit. It has been found absolutely necessary to prohibit people with 

 canker cures, as well as other parties, from visiting infected properties in Florida, 

 and we have to prosecute without favor any one who disobeys our rules in this 

 regard. 



We would not be in position to offer you any sum whatever for your formula, or 

 in any way obligate the State Plant Board or the State of Florida to pay for it. I 

 will say, however, that from your general statement I infer that your preparation 

 is one intended for soil treatment, and if this is the case, I can assure you that there 

 is absolutely no possibility of its being of any use in connection with citrus canker. 

 Very truly yours, 



WiLMON Newell, Plant Commissioner.
