Our inspectors frequently make inspections at airports 

 (such as Logan), railroads, and. other locations of heavy traffic 

 flow in order to be certain nursery stock and other regulated 

 items have the proper certification on the package and that no 

 prohibited material is present. Vigilance of this sort helps 

 to insure the Commonvrealth against new and unwanted insects 

 and diseases. 



Another phase of our collaborating inspectors work is 

 making inspections v;here both federal and state certification 

 is needed. This is a time saving operation since we can send 

 one inspector out and have him make the inspections necessary 

 for both the federal and state rather than send two men. 



During the year a change was made in the personnel we 

 have stationed at the Hadley office of the U.S.D.A. An in- 

 spector's position was filled on a permanent basis. This will 

 allow us to give quicker service to the people and nurseries 

 located in that part of the Commonwealth.
