We found the nurseries, for the most part, in excellent condition. 

 A weak point in our law, however, has been brought to our atten- 

 tion. One or more nurseries, it is evident, buy trees from the 

 South, from a region afifected by the San Jose Scale, and sell to 

 Minnesota patrons. It does not follow necessarily that their trees 

 are infested with this dread scale, because those districts are 

 fairly well controlled by inspectors ; but it is not, as we know from 

 experience, a difficult matter for an infested tree to be overlooked. 

 We do not want such trees in this state. The present law gives the 

 entomologist no option. A man may only own an acre of ground, 

 on none at all ; he may have only a thousand trees or less, on 

 rented ground, his entire business consisting of buying and sell- 

 ing, the entomologist's certificate going upon all trees handled by
