The tendency to shade prices when- 

 ever a man comes shopping to place a 

 good order for nursery stock is due, as 

 much as anything else, to a more or less 

 general belief that production has out- 

 stripped demand. 



John S. Kerr, of the Texas Nursery 

 Co., Sherman, has been on a trip in the 

 valley of the Eio Grande, where 80,000 

 young Bartlett pear trees planted under 

 the Elephant Butte dam soon will come 

 into bearing and are expected to create 

 an improved market for all fruits by 

 attracting buyers to the district. 



As a result of extensive tests, the en- 

 tomologists of the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture have found that cal- 

 cium arsenate, a new insecticide, gives 

 promising results in the control of cer- 

 tain insects that do damage by chewing 

 on fruit trees. Among the chewing in- 

 sects against which the arsenate of cal- 

 cium proved effective, in laboratory and 

 field tests conducted at Benton Harbor, 

 H|ch., are the codling moth, the fall web- 

 worm, the tent caterpillar and the tussock 

 moth. The details of the various experi- 

 ments are published in Department Bulle- 

 tin No. 278, "Miscellaneous Insecticide 

 Investigations. ' ' 



FLOBIDA NUESEEY LAW. 



Under the Florida plant act of 1915, 

 Florida nurseries are inspected several 

 times per annum. A nursery is open 

 for inspection at all times without 

 warning. 



All shipments originating outside of 

 the state must have plainly marked 

 thereon a statement or tag showing 

 the names and addresses of both the 

 consignor and consignee, the general 

 nature and quantity of the contents 

 and the name of the locality where 

 grown, together with an inspection cer- 

 tificate issued by the nursery inspector 

 or corresponding state official where 

 the plants were grown, together with 

 a permit certificate issued by the Flor- 

 ida nursery inspector. These permit 

 certificates will be consecutively num- 

 bered and will be issued at cost as 

 follows: 



100 tags $1.50 



200 tags 1.75 



300 tags 2.00 



500 tags 2.50 



1000 tags 3.50 



The nursery company is required to 

 furnish the nursery inspector, at 

 Gainesville, Fla., a duplicate invoice of 

 every order upon which a permit cer- 

 tificate is used, this invoice showing 

 an exact record of the contents of 

 each bundle and the number of the 

 permit certificate used thereon. To ob- 

 tain the permits, a nursery without the 

 state must file with the Florida nurs- 

 ery inspector at Gainesville an ap- 

 proved and satisfactory certificate is- 

 sued by the proper government or state 

 official at the point of shipment, to- 

 gether with the cash for the number 

 of certificates desired. 



Owing to the prevalence of citrus 

 canker, the importation into Florida of 

 all kinds of citrus trees or parts there-

TEXAS NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The Texas' Nurserymen 's Association, 

 at its fifteenth annual session, held at 

 Waco, September 28 and 29, reelected 

 William B. Munson, of Denison, presi- 

 dent of the body. It is his second 

 term in that oflSce. Vice-president J. 

 M. Ramsey, of Austin, also was re- 

 elected. 



New officers chosen were John S. 

 Kerr, of Sherman, secretary and treas- 

 urer, a position which he has filled 

 once before, and E. W. Kirkpatrick, of 

 McKinley, member of the executive 

 committee of the Texas Farmers' Con- 

 gress. 1 



Two important conclusions were ar- 

 rived at and embodied in the report of 

 the meeting. One was a resolution en- 

 dorsing the uniform inspection law to 

 govern nurseries and orchards, as rec-

ommended by the National Association 

 of Inspectors and Nurserymen. The 

 second was a report by the horticultural 

 committee, which aims to secure for 

 the nurserymen a share of the state 

 fund available for extension work in 

 agricultural and horticultural develop- 

 ment. The association gave its sup- 

 port to the movement to establish a 

 state board of horticulture in Texas. 



In the discussion of the extension 

 fund and its administration, the speak- 

 ers complained that although the nur- 

 serymen were pioneers in starting the- 

 extension work, they have been more 

 or less ignored.
