indemnify it against loss, but super- 

 vision should not end there. The officers 

 o£ the association know full well who 

 the crooks are and, as there are few of 

 them, would be able to give them spe- 

 cial supervision. If they continued to 

 abuse the good name of the association, 

 they could be dropped from membership. 

 The mere dropping from membership, 

 however, would not effect much if such 

 outlaw concerns were able to buy stock 

 from our members; so there would prob- 

 ably have to be an agreement, such as 

 exists in many other trades, to sell 

 stock at wholesale prices only to firms 

 in good standing. This agreement, be- 

 ing clearly for the benefit of the public 

 and not for the sake of profiteering, 

 would surely be endorsed by our gov- 

 ernment. It is in line with the best 

 practice in many other industries which 

 have had to contend with similar condi- 

 tions and it would thus make our indus- 

 try thoroughly respected and put it on 

 a firm business basis. 



Should Be a National Beform. 



I cannot think of any argument in 

 favor of a state organization under- 

 taking this service and there are many 

 obvious reasons why it could not serve 

 as well as a national organization. The 

 object desired is to enforce square deal- 

 ing and to assure the public that it will 

 receive a square deal. In other words, 

 we wish to reinstate all nurserymen in 

 the good opinion of the public and it is 

 no advantage to us to have all the nurs- 

 erymen in our own state on the square 

 if crooks from other states come in and 

 by bad practices bring discredit upon 

 the industry. We desire a nation-wide 

 reform. It must be accomplished by a 

 national association. 



The whole object of the plan which I 

 have suggested is to fix definitely the 

 responsibility for certain acts on^ the 

 right persons and it is readily admitted 

 that this is a difficult thing to do. It 

 may be that the whole scheme is im- 

 possible to carry out because of the diffi- 

 culties involved; if so, some other plan 

 must be devised. If no plan on these or 

 similar lines can be found, we must fall 

 back on government supervision. I 

 would suggest that we do not wait until 

 such supervision is thrust upon us, but 

 instead devise a law which will accom-
