The brown-tail moth has appeared at 

 Rye, N. Y., on an estate where it is said 

 to have been introduced by nursery stock 

 from Massachusetts. The commissioner 

 of agriculture has taken charge of the 

 campaign against this insect, and it is 

 hoped to prevent further spread in New 

 York state. 



E. B. KoNE, commissioner of agricul- 

 ture in Texas, says, with reference to 

 the nursery inspection law passed by the 

 last legislature, that inspection work be- 

 gun July 12 under this law must be 

 completed as soon as possible and with- 

 in a period of about three months. Tt 

 was started at Tyler, Tex., with the fol- 

 lowing inspectors: Prof. Fred W. Mally, 

 Garrison, Tex.; Prof. H. W. Stevenson, 

 Reedville, Tex., and F. K. McGinnis, 

 Terrell, Tex. These three inspectors will 

 be in the field continuously until it has 

 all been completed.

 prolific aa the Duchess, with fruit equal 

 ifi the "Wealthy in size, quality and ap-

TRANSPLANTING THE PECAN. 



The pecan tree is hard to transplant 

 because it has but few fibrous roots, and 

 the large hole, all tap root theory is a 

 fallacy. The thing required is to grow 

 trees with more fibrous roots, and my 

 experience has been that eastern grown 

 trees are more easily transplanted than 

 those grown in Texas. I attribute this 

 to the fact that the eastern trees have 

 more fibrous roots. Experience has shown 

 tljat pecan trees which have been trans- 

 planted once and then are moved again

are more liable to grow than those whose 

 roots have never been molested. I ad- 

 vise the cutting of the tap roots about 

 eight inches below the surface of the 

 ground. This should be done during the 

 winter following the first year's growth. 

 This cutting of the roots of pecan trees 

 causes from three to eight tap roots to 

 form on each tree, and thus enables them 

 to be more successfully transplanted.

ROSENnELD TO MOVE. 



J. F. Kosenfield will remove to Omaha 

 from West Point, Neb., and will estab- 

 lish his peony business at the new loca-

 twenty-five acres of land on West Dodge 

 street, a part of what is known as the 

 Sievers farm, just outside of Omaha, and 

 during the present summer will begin the

 ings. Next spring he will begin the 

 preparation of the ground to receive the
