How Commissions are Maintained* 



The manner of paying for this inspec- 

 tion varies in the different states. For 

 instance, in Illinois the expenses of the 

 inspector are borne by each nurseryman 

 according to the time required by the 

 inspector to go over the premises. This 

 is about the best system where the 

 nurseryman has to pay the expenses him- 

 self, as the small nurseryman has to pay 

 only his proportion of what the large 

 grower does. 



In Virginia, the arrangement is not 

 quite so satisfactory for the nurseryman. 

 Every person, firm, or corporation, sell- 

 ing, or shipping nursery stock into the 

 state, must pay a fee of $20 annually, 

 be he a large or small dealer. While 

 the bigger nurserymen in the state can 

 well afford this amount, the small 

 nurseryman has to pay just the same 

 amount. 



In Louisiana the nurseryman pays 

 practically nothing, as all expenses in- 

 cident to inspection are paid out of the 

 fund appropriated for the maintenance 

 of the state crop pest commission. The 

 only expense which the nurserymen have 

 to undergo is the very nominal one of 

 paying for the actual printing of copies 

 of their certificates of inspection upon 

 shipping tags, which tags are paid for 

 by the commission. 



Certificate an Advantage. 



And in this connection, I might men- 

 tion a direct advantage to the nursery- 

 man, gained through the use of these 

 tags. This is their value as advertise- 

 ments. They are veritable health cer- 

 tificates, showing, as they do, that the 

 stock to which they are attached, is 

 grown by a reliable nurseryman, who has 

 complied with all the requirements of 

 law. While no certificates can be posi- 

 tive guarantees, they serve as the best 

 possible indication that all stock to 

 which they are attached is free of dan- 

 gerously injurious insects and plant dis-

eases. Buyers of nursery stock all over 

 the country are beginning to realize the 

 importance of these certificate tags, and 

 nurserymen who succeed in shipping 

 without them, are at a decided disad- 

 vantage with the trade. 



Results. 



A vast amount of good results have 

 been obtained by this law alone. Many 

 states, whose orchard industries would 

 have beeh entirely ruined by the dread 

 San Jose scale, now have their fruit 

 businesses in more flourishing condition 

 than before, while added confidence in- 

 spired by these protective rules and 

 regulations have given tone to the nur- 

 sery stock market. The work in Louis- 

 iana will serve as a good example of th© 

 advantage of these laws, for the nursery 

 inspection work has been in force but 

 two years, and the improvement in nur- 

 sery conditions are easily noted. I will 

 close by quoting from this year's report 

 on "The Nursery Business of Louisi- 

 ana," which I made to Mr. Newell sev- 

 eral weeks ago. 



"The second year of the nursery in- 

 spection work of the state crop pest 

 commission of Louisiana has just been 

 completed, and the nursery conditions

throughout the state are very good. 

 "Forty-nine nurseries have been in- 

 spected, just twenty-one more than were 

 inspected last season. In the case of 

 fourteen out of this forty-nine, San Jose 

 scale in slight quantity was found either 

 in the nurseries themselves, or so close 

 to them as to endanger the nursery stock 

 by spreading, while chaff scale on orange 

 was found in one. To date all, except 

 five nurserymen, have followed the direc- 

 tions of the commission and have suc- 

 ceeded in eradicating the scale from their 

 premises. In the case of the delinquent 

 five, certificates of inspection have been 

 refused until the premises are thoroughly 

 cleaned up, kept under quarantine a suffi- 

 cient time, then reinspected and pro- 

 nounced apparently free of scale by the 

 inspector. Most of these premises will
