and these men have, in some sections, 

 caused the whole entomological depart- 

 ment to be unjustly criticised. There 

 are fakirs in every profession and 

 pursuit; even in the nursery business 

 we find some of the most accomplished 

 swindlers and fakirs on record. 



I would most earnestly urge the con- 

 tinuance of all committees on legisla- 

 tion, and cooperation with entomolo- 

 gists. The interests of the country as 

 regards the introduction of pests from 

 foreign countries demand closer co- 

 operation than ever before. We are all 

 working to the same end. I believe 

 the entomologists realize fully that it 

 is not the almighty dollar alone that 

 the nurseryman is seeking. We want 

 to conserve the interests of the people 

 of our own state and nation.

states, and there are as many others 

 that are not considered serious in their 

 native habitat which might become ex- 

 tremely destructive when brought into 

 the United States and placed in differ- 

 ent environments. 



The San Jose scale was not consid- 

 ered a pest in China, but it came to us 

 without its natural enemies and soon 

 developed into the worst pest the fruit 

 industry has ever known. It is be- 

 lieved by entomologists that China has 

 many more pests jusC as serious as San 

 Jose scale. The civilized nations of 



the world are going to open up this 

 section of the globe, and, unless we 

 are on our guard, there may be no end 

 of the new pests for the nurseryman, 

 fruit grower and farmer. 



If the national quarantine bill be- 

 comes a law, there may be amendments 

 offered that should be watched from 

 time to time, and it is of vital impor- 

 tance that the entomologists and nur- 

 serymen stick close together, and I am 

 sure that the two can and will work in 

 harmony, not only for their own good, 

 but for the beaefit of the whole nation.
