purpose is suggested a No. 8 raw hide tag with brass eyelet, with certificate of inspec¬ 
tion at top, address space in center, and address of nurseryman at the bottom, and 
that writing of consignee’s address on the tag shall constitute cancellation of that 
certificate tag for further use. 
4. Quarantines should be made as nearly as possible to conform to quarantine 
rules of the Federal Horticultural Board. 
5. Inspection certificate tags should be issued only by the state inspector and 
printing of copies of these certificates by others should be prohibited as constituting 
a counterfeiting of the certificate. 
6. All certificate tags should be serially numbered and the use of each tag accounted 
for by the nurserymen sending to the inspector a complete record of the stock sold or 
shipped under such certificate tag. This in order that the state inspector may 
promptly inspect past shipments from the nursery where any dangerous pest or 
disease appears therein. 
Your committee is of the opinion that a committee of three members should be 
appointed by the President of this Association to recommend standard practices in 
handling the following phases of nursery inspection work: 
A. Standardization of fumigation requirements, especially as to dosage and time 
of exposure. 
B. Use of fumigation certificates. 
CL Listing the plants which should be dipped in insecticides, the strength of such 
dips and manner of dipping. 
D. State requirements applying to interstate shipments. 
E. Use of certificate tags and permit tags of the same color in all Southern States 
during each shipping season. 
Be It Resolved, That this Association extend its thanks, and same are hereby 
extended to Dr. W. D. Hunter, and Mr. B. R. Coad, of the Bureau of Entomology, 
and their associates for the demonstrations and explanations of boll weevil poisoning 
methods afforded us at the Tallulah Laboratory, to Mr. B. R. Coad in assisting 
in compiling the proceedings of this meeting, to the management of the National 
Park Hotel for providing this Association conveniences for holding its session, and to 
representatives of the Vicksburg Press and such business interests of Vicksburg as 
have contributed in various ways to the success of our meetings and the comfort 
and convenience of our members. 
Resolution Concerning the Pink Bollworm Situation, Adopted by the 
Association of Cotton States Entomologists at Vicksburg, Miss., 
March 3, 1920 
Whereas, The recurrence of the pink bollworm of cotton in the previously infested 
area in southeastern Texas, the discovery of the insect at points outside the previously 
known infested area and the discovery of serious infestations in southwestern 
Louisiana, from which latter area large shipments of cotton seed have been made to 
other portions of the state of Louisiana, create a critical situation menacing the future 
of the whole cotton industry of the United States and 
Whereas, The situation so created is one of emergency calling not only for the 
continuation of the present eradication work but also for prompt and drastic measures 
to prevent the further dissemination of the pest, now therefore 
Be It Resolved, By the various entomologists, quarantine officials and other 
agricultural agents assembled at this meeting of the Association of Cotton States 
Entomologists at Vicksburg, Miss., this 3rd day of March, 1920, that in order to 
prevent the further spread of the pink bollworm the Federal Horticultural Board 
should impose a quarantine against the movement from the states of Texas and
