DEPARTMENT MAKES STATE 

 MENT. 



Possibly as a result of the report 

 of the legislative committee presented 

 at the St. Louis convention of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, 

 the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture has now issued a circular giv- 

 ing its side of the imbroglio resulting 

 from the efforts of the department of- 

 ficials to secure the enactment of the 

 so-called Simmons bill over the objec- 

 tions of the nursery trade interests, 

 The pamphlet of a dozen pages con- 

 tains a copy of the bill and an' expla- 

 nation of its provisions, also an ex- 

 planation of the relation of the depart- 

 ment to the enforcement of such a law, 

 in which it is said: 



"The fear that is expressed that 

 some one person will have arbitrary 

 powers over the entire importing nurs- 

 ery business is quite unfounded. The 

 features of the bill which come under 

 the authority of the Secretary of Agri- 

 culture will be carried out under the 

 supervision of the Secretary by desig- 

 nated officials representing the Bureaus 

 of Entomology and Plant Industry and 

 the Forest Service. The department, 

 by the permit system and notifica- 

 tionsr received, will become ia fort of 

 clearing house foi' information for the 

 benefit of the state inspectors. In 

 view of the success of the department 

 in building up everv- form of agricul- 

 tural industry in this country, and its 

 constant and earnest efforts in this 

 direction, there is no ground whatever 

 for the fear that in this particu- 

 lar instance the department will be- 

 come an enemy of the important nurs- 

 ery business and take any unreason- 

 able action to its detriment. The sub- 

 ject of regulation and control will be
