NURSERY INSPECTION 
5 
In addition to the above, Senate File 387, House File 513 has to 
do with special conditions along the vSt. Croix. House File 1122, 
Senate File 857 prohibits for two years the entrance into Minnesota 
of any and all five leaf pines. This latter bill was referred in the 
Senate to the committee of Public Domain, and the house file to the 
Agricultural Committee. 
All these bills should pass if Minneosta desires to take vigorous 
and effective action against the White Pine Blister Rust. The text 
of these bills is too voluminous to be inserted here, but such as be- 
come laws will be printed and distributed later. 
Under the head of Senate File 857, House File 1125, we are 
asking for reimbursement of $1,200 spent in the WTite Pine Blister 
Rust emergency from our regular inspection funds ; this to be avail- 
able immediately after passage of the bill. If this cannot be 
secured by the latter part of April or before, the regular nursery 
inspection work for the season cannot be taken up until August 
1st, which will mean delay, besides creating a deficiency in our nur- 
sery inspection funds.
