Nursery INSPECTION: In 1909 sixty-two nurseries were 
inspected ; the sum of $234.74 collected as legai fees and expenses 
was turned into the State Treasury, according to law. In 1910 
fifty-eight nurseries were examined, much more time being spent 
on each nursery than in the preceding year. The sum of $263.73 
received, was handed the State Treasurer, and receipt received 
therefor. See page 59 for detailed account of inspection of nur-

Insect CoLLecTIons; HyMENOPTERA OF MINNESOTA: Our 
collection of Minnesota insects has been materially increased this 
year, and we have made a special effort tc secure a systematic col- 
lection which will aid in a popular treatise on the bees, ants and 
wasps of Minnesota planned by this department. 
“MINNESOTA [NsEcT Lire”: This publication is a new feature 
of our work. It aims to place before farmers and fruit growers of 
the state timely items on the prevention of insect injury during the 
spring and summer. The mailing list of this publication is growing 
constantly. It is in no sense a bulletin. We issued this year three 
numbers—one on the first of June, one on the first of July, and one 
on the first of August. We aim, in future, to mail the first copy 
not later than April 1st, which will, among other things, give our 
agriculturists proper information regarding spraying. 
Exuipits: In March, 1g1o, at the first State Conservation 
Congress, held in the Auditorium at St. Paul, this division displayed 
an instructive collection of insect models, illustrations of insect 
injury, life histories, spraying machinery, nozzles and insecticides.
