NEW MASSACHUSETTS LAW. 



On petition of Windsor H. Wyman, 

 president of the Massachusetts Nursery- 

 men's Association, a bill (No. 360) has 

 been introduced in the legislature pro- 

 viding for the enlargement of the duties 

 and staff of the state inspector of nur- 

 series. A hearing recently was held by 

 the Committee on Agriculture, at which 

 the slight opposition to the bill was 

 withdrawn, following the striking out 

 of a retaliatory clause by Mr. Wyman, 

 who handled the nurserymen's case and 

 himself spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. 

 Wyman said that the nurserymen want 

 the bill to protect themselves and the 

 people of Massachusetts, and also to 

 prevent the spread of the opinion that 

 has got abroad that Massachusetts nur- 

 sery stock is not so good as that from 

 other states, due to the presence of the 

 gypsy and brown-tail moths. 



The state nursery inspector, Professor 

 Fernald, of the State Agricultural Col- 

 lege at Amherst, said that nine-tenths of 

 the work, by its nature, comes between 

 ^uly 1 and September 30, and that he 

 Took his summer vacation for it. The 

 inspection must be late, or it would do 

 no good. If it came in the middle of 

 the season the insects might get in their 

 woi'k afterwards. Massachusetts was 

 almost the last state to have the inspec- 

 tion law, and it was forced because 

 other states complained of the poor 

 .quality from Massachusetts. A few years 

 ago orchardists complained that while 

 some of them were taking care of their 

 trees, neighbors were not, and that as 

 fast as they cleared up insects came 

 from others' trees and continued their 

 evil work. As a result the legislature 

 ordered orchard inspection and tacked 

 that duty onto the nursery inspector and 

 without extra pay. Much stock comes 

 from foreign sources and the inspector's 

 force is too small to look after it, de- 

 spite the fact that the imported stock 

 often brings pests. 



When Dr. Fernald was asked about the 

 proposed change in the law providing 

 for the right to adopt a retaliatory pol- 

 icy if other states decline to accept 

 Massachusetts stock, he referred the 

 questioner to Secretary J. Lewis Ells- 

 worth, of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture. Mr. Ellsworth said that if a quar-
