 entific purposes by the Department of 

 Agriculture upon such conditions and 

 under such regulations as the said Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture may prescribe; 

 and 



Provided, further, That nursery stock 

 imported from countries where no offi- 

 cial system of inspection for such stock 

 is maintained may be admitted upon 

 such conditions and under such regula- 

 tions as the Secretary of Agriculture 

 may prescribe. 



Sections 2, 3 and 4 are concerned 

 with details relating to methods of ship- 

 ment, while section 5 enables the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture to include plants, 

 fruits, vegetables, roots, bulbs, seeds or 

 other plant products under the terms 

 of the act whenever he may deem best 

 on the ground that such products would 

 result in introducing plant diseases or 

 insect pests. 



Section 8 authorizes the Secretary to 

 quarantine certain districts and is in 

 part as follows: 



That the Secretary of Agriculture is 

 authorized and directed to quarantine 

 any State, territory or district of the 

 United States or any portion thereof, 

 when he shall determine the fact thalE 

 a dangerous plant disease or insect in- 

 festation, new to or not theretofore 

 widely prevalent distributed within and 

 throughout the United States, exists in 

 such State or territory or district; and 

 the Secretary of Agriculture is directed 

 to give notice of the establishment of 

 such quarantine to common carriers do- 

 ing business in or through such quar- 

 antined area, and shall publish in such 

 newspapers in the quarantined area as 

 he shall select notice of the establish- 

 ment of quarantine. That no person 

 shall ship or offer for shipment to any 

 common carrier, nor shall any common 

 carrier receive for transportation or 

 transport, nor shall any person carry 

 or transport from any quarantined State 

 or territory or district of the United 

 Staties, or from any quarantined por- 

 tion thereof, into or through any other 

 State or territory or district, any class 

 of nursery stock or any other elasa of

NEW QUAEANTINE BELL. 



Important action was taken by the 

 Senate Committee on Agriculture July 

 23, when it reported an entirely new 

 form of the so-called nursery stock bill 

 which has been pending both in House 

 and Senate for a good while. The bill 

 was reported practically unanimously 

 and would place very severe restrictions 

 upon the importation of nursery stock. 

 The first section of the bill in its new 

 form reads as follows: 



That it shall be unlawful for any per- 

 son to import or offer for entry into 

 the United States any nursery stock 

 unless and until a permit shall have 

 been issued therefor by the Secretary 

 of Agriculture under such conditions 

 and regulations as the said Secretary 

 of Agriculture may prescribe, and un- 

 less B«ch nursery stock shall be accom- 

 panied by a certificate of inspection, in 

 manner and form as required by the 

 Secretary of Agriculture, of the proper 

 official of the country from which the 

 importation is made, to the effect that 

 the stock has been thoroughly inspected 

 and is believed to be free from in- 

 jurious plant diseases and insect pests. 

 Provided, That the Secretary of Agri- 

 culture shall issue the permit for any 

 particular importation of nursery stock 

 when the conditions and regulations ar 

 prescribed in this act shall have been 

 complied with. 



Provided, further, that nursery stock

plants, fruits, vegetables, roots, bulbs, 

 seeds, or other plant products specified 

 in the notice of quarantine except as 

 hereinafter provided. That it shall be 

 unlawful to move, or allow to be moved, 

 any class of nursery stock or any other 

 class of plants, fruits, vegetables, roots, 

 bulbs, seeds or other plant products 

 specified in the notice of quarantine 

 hereinbefore provided. 



The bill contains a number of other 

 drastic provisions intended to limit the 

 movement of plant and vegetable prod- 

 ucts as the Secretary of Agriculture 

 may deem best. 



Senator Burnham, of New Hampshire, 

 the author of the bill, stated July 18 

 that the objection to the consideration 

 and passage of the bill which had been 

 offered by Senator Sutherland, of Utah, 

 and others was now understood to be 

 purely technical and would be overcome 

 by the alteration of some minor points 

 in the bill. Mr. Burnham said that he 

 understood the chief objection to the 

 bill related to a provision giving the 

 Secretary of Agriculture and the com- 

 mission to be established under his di- 

 rection power to impose penalties of a 

 certain kind for non-compliance with 

 the provisions of the proposed act. He 

 was perfectly willing that this should be 

 cut out and said that, according to his 

 understanding, this change would large- 

 ly eliminate the objections to the for- 

 warding of the bill. 



THE PORTLAND MEETINO. 



A meeting of the nurserymen of Ore-
