[Concluded from page 60.] 



of your legislative committee has had 

 the time of his life and knows all the 

 joys of a prolonged fight between the 

 devil and the deep blue sea. 



The New Quarantine Bill. 



Unquestionably, in spite of the ac- 

 tion taken at our last convention, the 

 nurserymen stand today, if not endors- 

 ing as a whole, at least as not oppos- 

 ing a quarantine law for all foreign 

 countries and domestic quarantine for 

 any "new or not theretofore widely 



?revalent dangerous insect or disease." 

 t is possible it may become a law at- 

 this session of Congress. What amend- 

 ments may be offered or adopted, we 

 know not, but, knowing something 

 about the hearings before the commit- 

 tee, and the influences being brought 

 to bear, I consider it practically certain 

 that the law when passed, or soon 

 afterward, will be amended so as to 

 leave out "new or not theretofore 

 widely prevalent," and place domestic 

 quarantine on the same basis as for- 

 eign. This bill may come before the 

 House at any time now, and definite 

 instructions should be given your legis- 

 lative committee as to the proper action. 



Love's Labor Lost. 



It is with a good deal of pleasure 

 that I note the formation of, and the 

 active interest taken in, state and sec- 

 tional organizations of nurserymen. 

 May the work continue until every 

 state has a live organization. Let us 

 remember that this association is the 

 national one, and unless we work in 

 harmony many of our efforts will be 

 < ' love 's labor lost. ' ' When two organ- 

 izations of nurserymen ask for or work 

 for different things, they get nothing 

 or worse. 



One of the most important things, in 

 my judgment, that this convention 

 could accomplish, would be the prepara- 

 tion of a satisfactory state inspection 

 law, and the enlisting of the resources 

 of all our associations, national, sec- 

 tional and state, in an effort to induce 

 every state legislature to pass a uni- 

 form law. 



Uniformity In State Laws.

former reasons for such laws, a na- 

 tional quarantine law is assured; that 

 it is not only of supreme importance 

 that your premises and your neighbor- 

 ing nurserymen's premises shall be 

 clean, but that it will be necessary for 

 the state to keep or force the owners 

 of orchards and private premises to 

 keep theirs clean. 



We are told that automobiles, lunch 

 baskets, outer garments — in fact, al- 

 most anything passing through certain 

 sections — may carry dangerous insects 

 to another state or section, which may 

 develop to such proportions that that 

 section or even the entire state may be 

 quarantined and the shipment of nurs- 

 ery stock prohibited. Under such cir- 

 cumstances, it seems to me imperative 

 that we impress on every grower of 

 stock the necessity for eternal vig- 

 ilance, and that it is up to him, by
