tween the state and the federal otticea. 

 The solution in our case is one utiliz- 

 ing both the state and federal organiza- 

 tions to secure the desired results. 



"To have thorough and adequate in- 

 spection throughout the United States 

 it would be necessary to have federal 

 aid. If this aid were given in the form 

 of substantial appropriations for carry- 

 ing on the work, it is reasonable to as- 

 sume that every state would come into 

 an agreement providing for uniform and 

 thorough inspection. If the federal 

 government would pass a bill providing 

 $1,000 a year for each state and then 

 give as much in addition to this as 

 would be appropriated by each state 

 for carrying on the work in its boun- 

 daries, it is safe to assume that every 

 state would agree to adopt the require- 

 ments for uniform inspection, and ac- 

 cept tha inspection certificate of other 

 states. 



' ' The success of such an arrangement 

 depends upon thorough work, at a mini- 

 mum cost, by competent, responsible, 

 fair-minded men. It should be provid- 

 ed that the actual inspection be done 

 under the direction of the state uni- 

 versities and experiment stations, as 

 they have trained workers who under- 

 stand the conditions of each state. The 

 individual inspectors should be paid 

 good salaries. They should be paid 

 enough to insure getting trained, com- 

 petent and disinterested men. These 

 men should be required to pass a strict 

 examination before qualifying for the 

 work, and their appointment should be 

 entirely free from any taint of party 

 politics. Ten years ago it would have 

 been impossible to secure enough 

 trained men for inspectors, but our uni- 

 versities are turning out thousands of 

 trained men every year and it is now 

 possible to get experts to do this work. 

 The entire success of this arrangement 

 depends upon the thoroughness and fair- 

 ness of the work done by these inspec- 

 tors. ' '

Will you please let me know what are 

 the best plants to grow along a porch 

 where there is shade from trees! I 

 want, especially, rhododendrons and 

 other shrubs. I am in the latitude of 

 Pittsburgh, Pa. 



J. M. 



I am somewhat uncertain from this 

 query whether you want climbers for 

 your porch, plants to stand on the 

 porch itself, or shrubs to grow below 

 the shade of overhanging trees. If the 

 last-mentioned are wanted, you could 

 have nothing better than rhododen- 

 drons. Use such reliable varieties as al- 

 bum elegans, roseum elegans, Delicat- 

 issima, Charles Dickens and Caracta- 

 cus. Prepare a bed not less than two 

 feet deep for them, working in a lib- 

 eral quantity of decayed cow manure 

 and rotted leaves. Prepare the ground
