Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis., 

 June 22 to 24, 1916. 



The Wisconsin legislature has passed 

 a bill creating the office of state ento- 

 mologist and merging with it the office of 

 state inspector of nurseries and orchards. 



The Woonsocket Hill Nurseries, at 

 Woonsocket, R. I., of which C. W. Morey 

 is the proprietor, have been increased by 

 the purchase of two acres of land ad- 

 joining. There are now about ten acres 

 in all. 



The estimate of the apple crop for the 

 entire country for 1915 indicates a de- 

 crease of nearly twenty-five per cent from 

 last year's total. The estimate for 1915 

 is 191,260,000, while last year's crop was 

 253,200,000. 



The creditors of Reilly Bros., Dans- 

 ville, N. Y., have decided to accept the 

 proposition made to them a month ago, 

 viz., a cash jjayment of ten per cent and 

 the issuing of preferred stock for ninety 

 per 'cent. It is said that a new corpora- 

 tion will be formed, with some of the 

 creditors as directors for the first year. 

 The firm filed a petition in bankruptcy 

 April 20, scheduling assets of $71,060 

 aid liabilities of $31,535.42, and Edward 

 Bacon, of Dascom, was appointed re- 

 ceiver. It was stated at the time that 

 the action was taken only to make a set- 

 tlement with creditors. 



DELATED DELIVERY. 



Carrier's Liability for Damages. 



Two important questions of law of 

 special application to shipments of 

 nursery stock, so far as concerns the 

 carrying railway company's liability 

 for delay in delivery, were passed upon 

 the other day by the Supreme Court 

 of Oklahoma in the case of Foote vs. 

 M. K. & T. Ry. Co., 149 Pacific Re- 

 porter, 223. 



The first point relates to the liabil- 

 ity of the initial carrier of an intra- 

 state shipment transported over con- 

 necting lines and the secon'd bears on 

 the measure of damages recoverable 

 for negligent delay in delivery. 



A nursery company at Durant, Okla., 

 shipped two lots of fruit trees to 

 plaintiff at two different points in the 

 same state, but beyond the line of de- 

 fendant company, which received the 

 freight, and plaintiff brought suit to 

 recover damages resulting from delays 

 in delivery. He was awarded judg- 

 ment in the trial court, but it was re- 

 versed by the Supreme court, which 

 said on the first point: 



' ' The only liability assumed by an 

 initial common carrier of intrastate 

 commerce in this state, unless it con- 

 tracts for greater responsibility, is 

 that it will deliver the shipment to 

 the end of its rout'^, in the proper di- 

 rection of its destination to some 

 other competent /carrier carrying to 

 the place of address, or connected with 

 those who thus carry. When it has 

 done that, its responsibility ceases, 

 subject, of course, to a proper re- 

 sponse to the demand of the shipper 

 for proofs that the loss or injury did 

 not occur on its line. • • • We are

 damage or entire loss of the goods, 

 would apply to the question of injury 

 caused by delay, so far as it relates to 

 the manner of fixing the liability of 

 the carrier; but it is not necessary to 

 seek to apply that rule here, for the 

 plaintiff says he did not demand of

 as to which road was responsible for
