It is clear, too, that inseot inju ries and disease effects are more con spicuous near the close.of the growing season. A certificate at best does not give un qualified evidence of the entire absence of seriously in jurious inspcts and dis eases. It is proposed, therefore, to make the inspections under the most favorable conditions and to make sup plemental inspections after the stock is dug, whether the surroundings are such as to cause suspicion. As complete an assurance as possible of the cleanliness of the stock is thus obtained, and it is hoped tba,t there maybe established, thereby, a>confidence in the.products of the Georgia nurseries equally advanta geous to the nurserymen and of char d- ists.; Some nurserymen have a careless habit of leaving old, unsalable stock heeled in on their yards from year to year. This practice affords a harboring place for insects and diseases and we strongly condemn it* A case iii point: Last year the writer, found San Jose scale m a bunch of old stock heeled in on tiie yard , of one of our nurserymen; and, al though no scale could be found in the nursery blocks, the regular certificate could not be issued to the owner. Whenever such conditions are found our certificate will be whithheld until they are corrected. Aside from the San Jose scale the following are on the board’s list of dan gerously injurious pests: The new peach, scale, black knot,, peach yellows, peach aud plum rosette. None of these have yet been found in any of the nur series, but with the exception of the yellows they all oocur in the state to a slight extent, and are carefully looked for when the inspections arc made. Last year 70 nurseries were inspected, four of which where found infested with San Jose scale, and from the owners of which the regular inspection certificate was withheld. It should be clearly understood here that no nursery man whose premises are found infested can obtain thq -regular certificate. A nurseryman, a portion of whose prem ises is infested, but in such a man ner as not to endanger the remaind er, may be given a special cer tificate; provided, however, that all stock growing in the infested portion ■hall be destroyed and the remainder 14 Main Street Phone 8 runagate a unaer our personal supervis ion. Likewise, where a nursery is lo cated in a scale infested neighborhood, even though no scale can be found on the nursery grounds, fumigation will be required and a certificate will be given to the owner of such a nursery only upon the Conditions expressed in writing that he will fumigate every plant before it is sent out. This requirement is based upon the following rule of the rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Entomology Jan. 18, 1899: Rule 9.—The state entomologist shall have power to require any nurseryman of the state to fumigate his stock with hydrocyanic acid gas when in his judg ment the presence of any pest in the nursery or in the neighborhood of the nursery warrants such treatment for the better protection of the agricultural in terests of the state. Upon failure of any Upon failure of any individual, firm or corporation to com ply with this requirement, the state entomologist is hereby authorized to withhold his certificate from the same. Some of our nurserymen, even though not compelled to meet the above require ment, have voluntarily adopted the plan of fumigating all stock (including buds ana grafts) grown or handled by them.
