 braska, for the purpose of detecting dangerous insects and plant dis- 

 eases, such as San Jose scale, Howard scale, browntail moth, gipsy moth, 

 peach yellows, peach rosette or any similarly dangerous insect pests or 

 diseases. If, upon the inspection of any nursery as above provided, it 

 shall appear that said nursery and its premises are free from dangerous 

 insects and plant disease, he shall, upon the payment of the expenses 

 of inspection as hereinafter provided, send or give to the owner of said 

 nursery, or, to the person in charge of same, a certificate of inspection 

 stating that said nursery and premises are apparently free from such in- 

 jurious insects and diseases. Said certificate shall be issued not later 

 than October 1 and shall continue in force, unless revoked for cause as 

 hereinafter provided, until the first day of July next following the date 

 of inspection. If the state entomologist or his assistant inspectors shall 

 find that a portion of a nursery is infested with dangerous insects or 

 plant diseases and other portions are then free from infestation or in- 

 fection, or if he shall have reason to believe that a nursery, on account 

 of its proximity to infested or infected premises, is liable to become so 

 infested or infected before the next annual inspection, he may prescribe 

 in writing such measures of precaution or make in writing such condi- 

 tions as to the use of his certificates as may in his judgment be neces- 

 sary, and certificate may be withheld until such conditions have been 

 accepted in writing by the owner of said nursery, and the use of said 

 certificate without taking the required measures of precaution or ob- 

 serving such condition shall subject the owner of said nursery to the

 ery stock, any and every part of which has not been inspected and certi- 

 fied as aforesaid, or who shall alter or deface such certificate, shall be 

 liable to the penalties prescribed in section 6 for. a violation of this act. 



The power to revoke and annul said certificate is hereby given the 

 state entomologist if he shall find that his certificate of inspection has 

 been used in violation of any of the provisions of this act. Revocation 

 shall be through written notice to the holder of said certificate. The use 

 of said certificate, after it has been revoked and annulled, and before 

 such revocation has been withdrawn by the state entomologist shall
