the name and address of shipper and consignee,

 quantity of contents, country and locality where 

 grown, name and address of shipper and con- 

 signee. 



Sec. 4. Provides for the same marking on 

 packages of Imported stock In Interstate com- 

 merce, unless and until such stock has been 

 Inspected. 



Sec. 5. Provides for Including In the pro- 

 visions of the law other plants, seeds, etc., 

 not Included by the term "nursery stock." 



Sec. 6. Defines the term "nursery stock," 

 and excludes field, vegetable and flower seeds, 

 bedding plants, and other herbaceous plants, 

 bulbs and roots. 



Sec. 7. Whenever, In order to prevent the 

 Introduction of diseases or Insects new to or 

 not theretofore widely prevalent or established 

 within the United States, the Secretary shall 

 determine that it is necessary to forbid the 

 importation of nursery stock or other plants 

 from the country where such disease or insect 

 infestation exists, he shall promulgate such 

 determination, specifying the country and the 

 class of nursery stock or other plants which 

 should be excluded, provided that before promul- 

 gating his determination the Secretary shall 

 after due notice to Interested parties give a 

 public hearing. 



Sec. 8. The Secretary of Agriculture is di- 

 rected to quarantine any state or portion 

 thereof when he shall determine the fact that 

 a disease or Insect infestation new to or not 

 theretofore widely prevalent within the United 

 States exists In such state or portion thereof. 

 The Secretary is directed to give notice of such 

 quarantine to common carriers, and shall pub- 

 lish such notice In the newspapers. No person 

 shall ship or oCTer for shipment, nor shall any 

 common carrier transport from any quarantine 

 section to any other section, any class of nurs- 

 ery stock or other plants specified In the notice 

 of quarantine, except under such rules and 

 regiilatlonB as the Secretary may prescribe. 

 It shall be the duty of the Secretary to make 

 rules and regulations which shall permit and 

 govern the inspection, disinfection, certification, 

 and method and manner of delivery and ship- 

 ment, of the class of nursery stock or other 

 plants specifled in the notice of quarantine, and 

 it is provided that before the Secretary shall 

 issue his quarantine notice, he shall give due 

 notice to Interested parties, and a ■ public 

 hearing. 



Sec. 9. Provides that the Secretary shall 

 make and promulgate rules and regulations. 



Sec. 10. Provides for penalties, and, further, 

 that no common carrier shall be deemed to 

 have violated the Act on proof that such car- 

 rier did not knowingly receive for transporta- 

 tion nursery stock under the quarantine rule. 

 That seems to put the burden of proof on the 

 carrier. 



Sec. 11. Provides that the word "person" 

 as used in the Act means both plural and 

 singular, and includes corporations, companies, 

 societies and associations, and that the act of 

 an officer of the corporation shall be deemed 

 the act of such corporation. 



Sec. 12. The Secretary authorized to appoint 

 a Federal Horticultural Board of five members, 

 to be selected from the Bureau of Entomology, 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry and the Forestry 

 Service, not more than two from any one 

 bureau. 



Sec. 13. Provides $25,000 appropriation. 



Sec. 14. Act shall become effective .July 1. 



The bill does not provide for any federal in- 

 spection of nursery stock at any point, but 

 leaves that for the state departments, as at 

 present. 



An attempt has been made to secure the 

 passage of this bill in the House under what 

 is known as the "Unanimous Consent Calendar," 

 but objections have been made, and therefore 

 there has been no progress up to this time. 

 The bill is on the regular calendar, but I am 

 Informed that it is not likely to be reached 

 during the present session. 



STANDASDS FOR APPLES. 



The lower house of Congress has 

 passed the Sulzer bill, providing for a 

 standard barrel for apples. Its sponsor 

 said: "The bill establishes a standard 

 barrel of the same dimension which is 

 now established by law in many states 

 and which is in customary and general 

 use throughout the country. It provides 

 that a barrel of less capacity than 

 specified may be used, providing it is 

 marked to show the fractional relation 

 which the actual capacity bears to the 

 standard barrel prescribed. 



"It establishes, for the purpose of 

 interstate and foreign commerce, three 

 standard grades of apples, to be desig- 

 nated according to the minimum size 

 of the fruit, and specifies the quality of 

 merchantable apples. 



"It provides that barrels marked 

 within the meaning of the act shall 

 alsp show the identity of the packer
