 a great success by specializing on olive 

 trees, which have come into great de- 

 mand.

 at the nursery of John Cannedy, at

The recent conference of nursery in- 

 terests with the government oflScials back 

 of the Simmons bill is reported to have 

 resulted in an agreement that the bill 

 shall be amended to place the admin- 

 istration of the quarantine law in the 

 hands of a commission of five rather than 

 in the hands of one government officer;

FEDERAL LAW TAKING SHAPE. 



William Pitkin, chairman of the 

 legislative committee of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen, makes the 

 following report regarding the confer- 

 ence held at Washington, December 28 

 and 29: 



"I am glad to be able to say that 

 the prospects look favorable for a 

 satisfactory settlement of the dispute 

 relative to the proposed federal bills 

 regulating the importation of nursery 

 stock. The National Association of 

 Horticultural Inspectors and the Asso- 

 ciation of Entomologists held their an- 

 nual convention in Washington. Your 

 chairman, with Irving Rouse, W. P. 

 Stark and W, H. Wyman, had a num- 

 ber of conferences with the legislative 

 committee of the Inspectors' Associa

tion, and also with individual members 

 and with Dr. Howard and Mr. Marlatt, 

 of the Department of Agriculture, and 

 a tentative agreement was reached 

 subject to the approval of our legisla- 

 tive committee, which I think will be 

 secured. 



"The proposed bill will provide for 

 permits, notifications, and both domes- 

 tic and foreign quarantine, but the 

 provisions for foreign and domestic 

 quarantine will be limited to insects 

 and diseases new to the United States 

 and not now established in this coun- 

 try. The bill will also provide for an 

 administrative board and for public 

 hearings before the issuance of any 

 quarantine or stringent order, and with 

 an opportunity for appeal from the 

 decision of that board to the Secretary 

 of Agriculture. A bill is to be drafted 

 by the Department of Agriculture and 

 submitted to our legislative committee 

 before any further action is taken. 



"The committee felt, in view of 

 the sentiment that had been aroused 

 by the Department of Agriculture and 

 the entomologists in favor of some 

 form of federal regulation, that it was 

 wise to join with the entomologists 

 and inspectors and agree on a com- 

 promise measure that would be a pro- 

 tection to the public and the fruit 

 growers and would not be extremely

burdensome on the nursery interests; 

 and it is our belief that this has been 

 accomplished by the proposed bill. 



"The committee was ably assisted 

 by Prof. S. J. Hunter of the Kansas 

 University, who came to Washington 

 with Mr. Stark, representing the West- 

 ern Wholesale Association, and we feel 

 that we are much indebted to him for 

 his wise counsel and advice and for his 

 efforts in reconciling the differences 

 existing between the committee and 

 his associates among the horticultural 

 inspectors. The committee also feels 

 greatly indebted to the legislative com- 

 mittee of the Inspectors' Association 

 for their courtesy and evident desire 

 to do all that they could to meet the 

 nurserymen on a mutually satisfactory 

 ground. That committee consisted of
