it tend more and more to guard and 

 regulate our businesses; whether we 

 approve of this or not, it is the tendency 

 of the times in which we are living. In 

 making this submission under the law, 

 we shall help ourselves most when we so 

 conduct our businesses as to keep our 

 nurseries as clean as possible and to 

 help entomologists in the control of 

 pests by spraying and other care that 

 will help to prevent spread of such in- 

 sects or disease. We must see to it 

 also that we keep faith with public 

 opinion through the high quality of our 

 products; the public will come to have 

 a regard for the trustworthy character 

 of the nursery business and the men 

 engaged in it. We cannot do all this 

 alone — it must be furthered by our asso- 

 ciations. 



In this connection I cannot refrain 

 from saying that I think a mistake that 

 will take years to mend was made when 

 we discontinued our trustworthy slogan, 

 instead of seeking to bring our member- 

 ship into the condition that made that 

 statement worth while. We had the op- 

 portunity under it to do, voluntarily and 

 to our credit, what legislatures will 

 make us do by their misbranding bills 

 and other similar legislation. 



Nurserymen should welcome inspec- 

 tion. If our states did not provide in- 

 spection, we would now be denied the 

 privilege of interstate commerce, but 

 we want something more than inspec- 

 tion; we want entomologists who are 

 not satisfied merely to put our nurseries 

 in an isolation ward for observation, 

 while publicity is given to our sickness, 

 but we want entomologists who will seek 

 untiringly to cure our sickness by pro- 

 viding prescriptions in the shape of 

 sprays or other remedies that will rid 

 us promptly of the pests that destroy us. 



Quarantines must always be regarded 

 as being instituted on the part of 

 officials by reason of their inability to 

 control a pest or disease. For such 

 quarantines to exist indefinitely is an 

 acknowledgment that officials charged 

 with the enforcement of such acts have 

 been unable to secure remedies to alle- 

 viate the condition. Of course the pro- 

 longing of a quarantine may mean, too, 

 that the nurseryman has failed to do his 

 part to the extent that he could co- 

 operate, but wo must cooperate. 



Remedies Needed. 



. I feel that now nurserymen should 

 help authorities to secure money with 

 which experiments may be conducted, 

 looking toward the annihilation of dan-
