 state nursery inspectors." 



In New Zealand the question is being 

 discussed as strongly as here, but the 

 agricultural department seems to have 

 been caught in some unfortunate blun- 

 ders. The following clippings from the 

 New Zealand Herald, which were pre- 

 sented by Mr. Smith, show the situa- 

 tion there, and perhaps it is not far 

 from that in this country: 



"The agricultural department de- 

 clared root knot an infectious disease in 

 New Zealand, but fixed upon perfectly 

 natural excrescences on apple tree roots 

 as the disease in question. An exam- 

 ination of the roots was made, and it 

 was proved that they were not affected 

 with root knot. Some of the worst 

 samples were taken to one of the great- 

 est authorities, who, after carefully ex- 

 amining the roots under a microscope, 

 declared there was no disease present. 

 The department had taken perfectly 

 natural root forming material for the 

 disease known as root knot. Seeking to 

 get further information, another expert 

 was sought, who confirmed this opin- 

 ion." 



"The action of the agricultural de- 

 partment in New Zealand has caused a 

 loss of from $100,000 to $150,000 to the 

 nurserymen alone. ' '

 in wages from the Kalamazoo Floral 

 Co., by issuing garnishments through 

 the municipal court against fourteen of 

 ^the company's debtors.
