WHAT COUNTY INSPECTORS DO. 



An idea of the work done by county 

 inspectors of nursery stock may be 

 gained from the following from the re- 

 port of the commissioners of Sonoma 

 county, Cal., for January, 1914, as well 

 as of the thoroughness of the work when 

 an average of over 2,000 trees per 

 working day pass through the inspect- 

 ors' hands, not all of them with clean 

 roots. 



"It is seldom," the report reads, 

 "that anything is found wrong with 

 the tops of the trees; so our examina- 

 tion is given mainly to the roots of the

plant, and when they are covered with, 

 mud it is diflScult to discover the de- 

 fects. Of the stock which we find it 

 necessary to condemn, most is rejected 

 on account of crown or root gall, woolly 

 aphis, root borers or root fungi. It 

 is not an easy matter to discover some 

 of these, even when the roots are clean, 

 and almost impossible when they are 

 muddy." 



For the month of January the record 

 of the nursery stock inspected by the 

 county inspectors was as follows: 



Peach trees 5,715 



Pear trees : 2,855 



Plum trees 2,295 



Apple trees 151 



Cherry trees 4,706.

BOABD SPEAKS PLAINLY. 



The Federal Horticultural Board has 

 inaugurated a series of news-letters, in 

 which it "names names" in such a 

 manner that it is expected the effect 

 will be salutary; those whose stock i» 

 complained of will make haste to cor- 

 rect the condition. The following is 

 No. 2 of the series, sent out over the 

 signature of C. L. Marlatt, chairman of 

 the board:
