112 FOREST. PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION 
by the Forest Commissioner or his agents, or the owners have con- 
sented to aid in the work of eradication to the extent of contrib- 
uting their bushes in order to check the spread of the disease. 
Consent of the owner (for the removal) was always secured before 
the eradication of any cultivated Ribes.. 
In all of the areas where the eradication work has been carried 
on, the owners have been unanimous in their preference for white 
pine as a crop; and in no case was the growing of Ribes of suff- 
cient economic importance to warrant the cleaning out of the pine 
in the vicinity. 
Several large shipments of Ribes were excluded under the 
quarantine act, and the present policy of the State is not to permit 
the entrance of any species of Ribes as long as present conditions 
exist. 
White pine has been admitted in limited quantities from 
nurseries outside of the state, but only after inspection at the 
shipping point and also after receipt. 
The following permits were issued during 1919:
