and in some States, such as New York, recognition of interstate law has 
resulted in these inspections being made at the point of destination. 
This means large costs inevitable with the inspection of small and widely 
scattered lots. Is it possible to standardize methods of inspection in 
the various States so that duplications of this character can be avoided ? 
One thorough inspection should be enough and it might be possible to 
develop and attach to each tree a seal which could not be tampered with 
and would therefore be accepted throughout the usual distributional 
areas and if this were admitted, it might be advisable to divide the coun¬ 
try into sections where similar stock is in general demand. Cases not 
readily covered in this manner could be handled about as at present.
