The following address on "Uniform State Inspection Laws" is in 

 part a report of the Committee on Uniform Legislation appointed at 

 the previous annual meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, and was preliminary 

 to the presentation of a model state horticultural inspection law which 

 will appear later as accepted, in printed form in the Journal of 

 Economic Entomology and in some nursery trade publication. 



The model law was submitted on December 31, 1913, to a committee 

 of nurserymen gathered in the Piedmont Hotel, Atlanta, Ga., at the 

 invitation of Prof. J. G. Sanders. The following were present during 

 the consideration of the model law: — Messrs. William Pitkin, Roches- 

 ter, N. Y.; J. H. Dayton, Painesvihe, 0.; Thomas B. Meehan, Phila- 

 delphia, Pa. ; Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb. ; W. P. Stark, Stark City, 

 Mo.; L. A. Berckmans, Augusta, Ga.; S. J. Hunter, Lawrence, Kans.; 

 C. L. Marlatt, Washington, D. C; J. G. Sanders, Madison, Wis. 



After a consideration of the bill lasting several hours, it was accepted 

 as quite satisfactory with several proposed minor alterations. With 

 these alterations included, the bill was presented to the inspectors at 

 the regular session, and eUcited numerous questions, which could not 

 be fully discussed on account of lack of time. It was suggested that 

 members communicate their objections or proposals of changes to the 

 Secretary, J. G. Sanders, at an early date. 



The report was accepted and the committee continued.
