must assume the responsibility for this 

 standard. 



I believe that we will all agree that 

 just at this time it is unusually easy to 

 find fault, but constructive criticism is 

 what we want. The nurseryman and 

 the entomologist can be of mutual help- 

 fulness. Such, however, can be only 

 through mutual confidence and earnest 

 cooperation. 



It goes without saying that we need 

 greater uniformity in state require- 

 ments, but there will always be ques- 

 tions which each state must settle for 

 itself. The nurserymen of each state, 

 therefore, should have a part in deter- 

 mining the policy of its inspection reg- 

 ulations. It should not and can not 

 be properly done independently of 

 them. If present arrangements can 

 not give you a voice, you should 

 ask for it, A state entomologist some 

 time ago asked me what he could do 

 to improve the eflSciency of his nur- 

 sery department. I told him to select 

 from among his nurserymen an ad- 

 visory committee of representative 

 nurserymen and to counsel with them 

 fully regarding all of his plans of 

 operation. 



Problems of the Entomologist. 



The entomologist can be made one 

 of your most valuable assets. You 

 need never question his intentions. His 

 judgment may not always appeal to 

 you. The entomologist has his prob- 

 lems in the administration of his part 

 of the nursery business. The certificate 

 carries with it his standing. If the cer- 

 tificate is misused it reflects directly 

 upon him. He finds it difficult at times 

 to classify as a nurseryman an ap-

 few plants on a vacant lot. 



Nurserymen are coming to establish 

 fellowships whereby the entomologists 

 cooperate with them in solving some of 

 the problems which are now costing 

 them thousands of dollars annually. 

 Some nurserymen are sending their 

 sons to universities for special train- 

 ing in entomology. Others are placing 

 an entomologist on their working staff. 

 This is the proper attitude and one cer- 

 tain of results. 



Good Out of Evil. 



"It is an ill wind that blows nobody 

 good." To petty thieves we owe the 

 discovery of the wonderful fungicidal 

 power of the Bordeaux mixture, first 

 placed on grapes as a protection 

 against pilferers. Injurious insects 

 have proven an incentive to proper 

 culture. 



When we consider that more than 

 one-half of our injurious insects are 

 foreigners imported into our country, 

 that foreign imports of nursery stock 

 increase with each year and that with 

 these we are in great danger of in- 

 troducing enemies of horticulture ca- 

 pable of creating great losses and be- 

 coming heavy handicaps to the business 

 represented here, we should be fully 

 awake to the necessity of most hearty

cooperation between the nurseryman 

 and the entomologist in securing na- 

 tional legislation of the right sort. 



This is a time of getting together, 

 the day of cooperation, of government 

 by commission. The entomologist and 

 the nurseryman, then, working as a 

 commission, are in harmony with the 

 times. In no other way can either ob- 

 tain so good results.
