MISSISSIPPI ANNUAL MEETING. 



Nurserymen Discuss the Laws. 



The legal situation was the leading 

 topic of interest at the third annual 

 meeting of the Mississippi Nursery- 

 men's Association, which was held at 

 Agricultural College, Miss., August 27 

 and 28. The address of President J. R. 



Woodman was chiefly an account of 

 his efforts, to obtain an appropriation 

 from the state legislature for nursery 

 and orchard inspection. The meeting 

 on the morning of the second day was 

 entirely devoted to the discussion of 

 the laws of the other states on the 

 subject and of the needs of Mississippi 

 along this line. A number of members 

 thought that $40,000 was not at all too 

 much to be asked of the legislature for 

 this work, but the chance of getting 

 this amount is but slight. Every mem- 

 ber was urged to take the matter up 

 directly with his representative and 

 senator, and S. W. Crowell was unani- 

 mously requested to be a committee of 

 one to take the matter personally be- 

 fore Governor Brewer. After much 



discussion a resolution was passed unan- 

 imously, asking the legislature^ to ap- 

 propriate the sum of $5,000 for the 

 next biennial period. 



Fee for Outside Nurserymen. 



At the same time a motion by Theo- 

 dore Bechtel was unanimously -passed, 

 providing "that the entomologist be 

 requested to promulgate a regulation 

 requiring outside nurseries to pay a fee 

 of $5 to sell or ship nursery stock into 

 the state of Mississippi." The fact 

 that certain nurseries are publishing 

 the statement that they are recoin- 

 mended by the Mississippi Agricultural 

 and Mechanical College was brought up 

 and a resolution passed to the effect 

 that the nurserymen's association dis-
