Resolution Favoring National Horticultural Quarantine. 



Marysville, Cal., December 5, 1907. 

 To the President and Members of California Fruit-Growers' Convention: 



Whereas, The national laws on importation of insect pests for the proper guard- 

 ing of the fruit interests of this great nation, which in California alone are worth 

 over sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), are inadequate; and, 



Whereas, A thorough cooperation of Government quarantine officers on the 

 Atlantic coast with the California Horticultural Commission is desired, to the 

 end that the Pacific Coast may be further protected ; therefore, be it 



T^solved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each representative from 

 California, in the Senate and House of Congress. 



Respectfully submitted.

Resolution Requesting the State Commissioner to Draft a New Horticultural Law. 



Marysville, Cal., December 5, 1907. 

 To the President and Members of California Fruit-Grow ers' Convention: 



Whereas, The present law regarding the fruit industry of California has, owing 

 to the greater demands and necessities of the industry and owing to the enormous 

 increase of the territory as well as acreage, become complex and often inoperative ; 

 and 



Whereas, Amendments, simplifying these laws, to the end that greater effi- 

 ciency as well as an increase in power should be had ; therefore, be it 



Resolved, That the President of this Convention be requested to draft such bills 

 as seem to him best to bring about the desired results ; and be it further 



Resolved, That the President appoint a Legislative Committee, whose duty shall 

 be to attend, and vigorously urge, before the various legislative committees the relief 

 asked for.

Resolution Asking for More Effective Horticultural Quarantine. 



Marysville, Cal., December 5, 1907. 

 To the President and Members of California Fruit-Growers' Convention: 



Whereas, There are insufficient funds at the disposal of the Horticultural Com- 

 mission of California to properly quarantine the State on the north, south, and 

 east against the importation, by accident or otherwise, of the many injurious pests 

 that mean destruction to our greatest industry to the value of an annual output of 

 sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), if not prevented; and 



Whereas, Prevention means great economy to the taxpayers of California ; 

 therefore, be it 



Resolved by the Fruit-Growers of California, in Convention assembled, That 

 sufficient money be appropriated to give the adequate relief by employing additional 

 quarantine officers to strenuously and efficiently guard all our borders. 



Respectfully submitted.
