The Inspection Law has been revised 
during the past year and now provides 
that the State Board of Agriculture shall 
appoint a state entomologist whose duties 
it shall be to inspect nurseries and or- 
chards and to grant an annual certificate 
for sale of nursery stock. All nursery 
stock shipped into the state must bear 
on each package a certificate that the 
contents have been inspected by an au- 
thorized inspection officer. The state en- 
tomologist is, furthermore, authorized to 
inspect any nursery stock which comes 
into the state, even when sent in under 
an official certificate, if he deems it ad- 
visable, and shall order its return to 
the consignor if any injurious insects or 
plant diseases are found therein. 
An affidavit of fumigation is no long- 
er accepted in lieu of official inspection. 
Agents who have no nursery, and who 
wish to sell nursery stock within the 
state, must apply to the state entomol- 
ogist for an agent’s license and must 
state where they propose to purchase 
their stock to be sold A. E. Stene, State
