as informally drafted provides for a 

 state board of control, one of the mem- 

 bers of which shall be a nurseryman 

 actively engaged in the growing of 

 nursery stock, and the board will have 

 the authority necessary to carry out the 

 law and to provide the rules and regu- 

 lations for its enforcement. The bill 

 will attempt to define the terms "nurs- 

 ery," "nursery stock," "nurseryman," 

 "dealer," "agent," and the "insects" 

 and "plant diseases" included in the 

 provisions of the act. It will provide 

 for the appointment of a chief inspector 

 whose duty it will be to carry out the 

 details of the law and all the rules and 

 regulations authorized by the law, un- 

 der the direction of the board of control. 

 It will provide for a proper method of 

 appeal to the board from the decisions 

 or orders of the inspector, and will, of 

 course, provide for the inspection of 

 nurseries and other premises and the 

 issuance of certificates to the nursery- 

 men, and for the treatment or destruc- 

 tion of infested or diseased trees and 

 plants, either in nurseries or other 

 premises. It will provide for the 

 issuance of certificates to the nursery- 

 man, to the dealer and to the agent, 

 and to nurserymen located outside of 

 the state, and for a uniform system 

 covering the certification of shipments 

 in state and interstate commerce, and 

 will include proper penalties for viola- 

 tion of the law. 



Transportation Matters. 



For the transportation committee 

 Charles Sizemore, Louisiana, Mo., pre- 

 sented a detailed report, the situation 

 being summarized in this paragraph: 



"With the change in the Southern 

 Classification effective last November 

 nursery stock is now fifth class in car 

 lots east of the Mississippi river, with 

 the exception of Illinois, and seventh 

 class in Illinois and west of the Mis- 

 sissippi. It appears to the transpor- 

 tation committee that the railroads are 

 quietly trying to have the classifications 

 in such shape that when it comes to 

 uniform ratings they will be in position 

 to place nursery stock all over the coun- 

 try, car loads, in fifth class, which would 

 greatly increase the rates west of the 

 Mississippi river. The nurserymen 

 should watch this closely, and, if possi- 

 ble, endeavor to secure seventh class 

 east of the river, and failing in that, 

 possibly secure a compromise on sixth 

 class." 



Crown Gall. 



E. A. Smith, Lake City, Minn., who 

 has been chairman of the committee on 

 crown gall since it was made one of the 

 standing committees, said that the year 

 has developed little new information. 

 ' ' The P. J. Berckmans Co., in connection 

 with H. P. Stuckey, horticulturist of 

 the Georgia Experimental Station, com- 

 menced an experiment two years ago 

 which we believe will be of practical 

 value. Up to this time the trees that

were planted with crown gall show fa- 

 vorably with those which were planted 

 without crown gall, the stand in both 

 cases being almost perfect. 



"The information relating to root 

 knot and crown gall should be preserved 

 for reference, where in the course of 

 time it could be boiled down and pre- 

 sented so that nurserymen and the- 

 orists may arrive at a definite conclu- 

 sion in regard to the injury of crown 

 gall or root knot, especially upon apple 

 trees, there still being a great diversity 

 of opinion among inspectors and those 

 who are supposed to be authority on 

 matters of this kind."
