NEW HAMPSHIRE. — Nurseries are inspected at least once each year. 

 Shipments into the State must be accompanied by a certificate of inspec- 

 tion or, in lieu thereof, an affidavit showing that the stock has been fumi- 

 gated with hydrocyanic acid gas, using not less than 2/10 of 1 gram of 

 cyanide of potassium per cubic foot of space, in an air-tight compartment 

 for not less than 40 minutes. A copy of the certificate of inspection or a 

 copy of the affidavit must be attached to each car, box or package shipped 

 into the State. Hon. Andrew L. Felker, Commissioner of Agriculture, Dur- 

 ham, N. H. 



NEW JERSEY. — The law requires the inspection of all nurseries at least 

 once in each year. Shipments into the State must be accompanied by a cer- 

 tificate of inspection of current date, or copy thereof, attached to each car 

 or parcel, together with a statement from the shipper that the stock therein 

 is a part of the stock inspected, and stating whether such stock has been 

 fumigated with hydrocyanic gas or not. It shall be the duty of all carriers 

 to refuse for transportation within the State all stock not accompanied by 

 a certificate of inspection. All stock coming into the State may be detained 

 for examination, wherever found, by the State Entomologist or the State 

 Plant Pathologist, and if found to be infested with any insects or plant dis- 

 eases, injurious or liable to become so, will be destroyed. Dr. T. J. Headlee, 

 State Entomologist, New Brunswick, N. J.; Dr. Mel. T. Cook, State Plant 

 Pathologist, New Brunswick, N. J.

 commissioners which were given authority to control orchard pests. Prof.

 lege, N. M.
