Src. 4. Each nursery located in the Territory of Oklahoma in which fruit 
or shade trees, bushes and vines, or ornamental shrubbery are grown for 
sale, shall, at least once each year during the growing season, be sub- 
ject to inspection by a competent entomologist acting under the direction of

diseases, it shall be the duty of the said board of agriculture to prohibit the sale 
or planting such nursery stock in the Territory of Oklahoma until said nursery 
stock shall have been properly dipped, fumigated, sprayed, or otherwise disin- 
fected as directed by said board of agriculture. It shall furthermore be the

located in Oklahoma to send out a copy of said certificate with each shipment 
of nursery stock which has been sold to be planted in Okiahoma: Provided, That 
there shall be paid by the owner or operator of such nursery a fee as herein- 
efter provided, together with necessary traveling expenses incurred in making 
such inspection: Provided further, That the entomologist or assistant entomolo- 
gist of the Oklahoma agricultural experiment station shall be detailed for serv- 
ice as inspector of nurseries when not inconsistent with the performance of 
his regular duties.

vegetables which may be infested with injurious insect pests or infected with 
contagious plant diseases or coutaining seeds of any noxious or injurious plants

lished by the board of agriculture, acting under the authority and power granted

mit from the board of agriculture authorizing such nursery, or its duly consti- 
tuted representatives, to do business in the Territory. As conditions precedent 
to the issuance of such permit the board of agriculture shall require a certifi- 
cate of inspection from a competent entomologist, duly authorized to act as an 
inspector in the State or Territory where such nursery is owned and operated, 
and the board of agriculture may, furthermore, require such references and evi- 
dences of integrity as may seem to be necessary to establish the responsibility 
and good faith of the applicant.
