MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS 
NURSERYMEN AND QUARANTINES 
By Lee A. Strong, Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, United 
States Department of Agriculture 
[Given at the sixty-second annual meeting of the American Association of Nurserymen, 
Chicago, 111., July 15, 1937] 
The opportunity given to me by your president to talk to the American Asso- 
ciation of Nurserymen is greatly appreciated. The nurserymen of America 
are as intimately associated with the affairs of the Bureau of Entomology and 
Plant Quarantine and as vitally concerned with its activities, accomplishments, 
and mistakes as is any group of agriculturists in the country. 
During the past few years while the giving of work to unemployed and needy 
has been of the utmost importance, the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quar- 
antine has wherever possible made use of emergency funds to further the work 
of pest eradication and control. Since 1933, when the first emergency funds 
became available, until July 1, 1937, we have used $37,526,392 for such work
