EXPERIMENTAL NURSERIES IN UTAH 
The Department of Horticulture of the Utah Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station is this year establishing orna¬ 
mental nunrseries on two of its experimental farms in 
different sections of Utah. The plan is to set out this 
year, ten plants each of 123 varieties of deciduous trees 
and of 171 varieties of deciduous shrubs. The work 
will later be enlarged to include numerous evergreens 
as well. 
As a result of this work, it is hoped to stimulate the 
planting of a greater number of plants and of more var¬ 
ieties than heretofore thruout the State. Especially im¬ 
portant will be the fact that the Department of Horticul¬ 
ture will have information available as to which of the 
many desirable varieties do best under Utah conditions. 
Quotations on this order are now being solicited from 
nursery companies. 
the shipment of broom corn in which the insect was originally 
brought to this country went to various States besides those now 
known to be infested. Efforts are now being made to trace pos¬ 
sible infestation through the broom factories. It has been found 
that there are such factories in 43 of the 48 States. The names 
are being supplied to State entomologists and other State of¬ 
ficials, who are cooperating with the department in determining 
the distribution of the corn borer.

QUARANTINE VIOLATIONS 
STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, 
CIRCULATION, ETC. 
Three violations of the Federal quarantine prohibiting the ship¬ 
ment of currants, gooseberries, and white pine from States east 
of and including Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louis¬ 
iana to the Western States were discovered by agents of the 
United States Department of Agriculture during the fall of 1919. 
It was ascertained upon investigation that the nurseries making 
the shipments did not willfully violate the quarantine, but were 
ignorant of the regulations. Violations of the Federal quaran¬ 
tines are punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or by imprison¬ 
ment not exceeding one year, or both. 
The purpose of this quarantine is to prevent a destructive dis¬ 
ease of the five-needled pines, commonly called the white-pine 
blister rust, from reaching the Western States and attacking the 
extremely valuable western white-pine and sugar-pine forests. 
This disease may be carried from one State to another upon five- 
needled pines or upon any species of currant or gooseberry 
bushes. All nurserymen, therefore, are urged to cooperate with 
the Department of Agriculture in enforcing this quarantine and 
thus prevent the disease from reaching the western forests. 
ALIEN PLANT ENEMIES CAUGHT 
The European corn borer may be present in sections of the 
country where it has not yet been discovered—but it may not. 
And it certainly would shortly have been in many sections where 
it does not exist if the United States Department of Agriculture, 
the other day, had not stopped a shipment of foreign broom corn 
at the port of New York. The broom corn came from Venice 
and there were 97 bales of it—enough to scatter pretty well over 
the United States. And it was infested with the European corn 
borer. Inspectors of the Federal Horticultural Board, however, 
were on hand. They intercepted the broom corn and prevented 
a further scattering of the corn borer over the country. That 
was just before the Secretary of Agiculture promulgated a quar¬ 
antine denying entry to the United States from all other coun¬ 
tries of the stalks of various plants that serve as hosts to this 
pest. 
The work of determining present distribution of the corn borer 
is going forward. It is now known to exist in Massachusetts, 
New Hampshire, New York, and Pennsylvania. But portions of
