Kentucky is about as unfortu-
nate in her State Contrasting Board
as Tennessee is in her state legisla-
ture. One knocks out the best
qualified and most indisputably
chosen candidate for judge and the
other steals the state. Dishonors
are easy and the states are both
bottled up in their own.

The ''charity" of the "Thirteenth
Corinthians" that "thinketh no
evil" is a breed of that article that
has almost died out of sight. 1t
does seem that the evil that is in
men and women is made the basis
of their judgment upon others,
whose broader and cleaner lives
these cenSorS are unable to under
stand. You can put it down as a
rule that the man or woman who
is so hasty in Judging others al
ways ready to impute the worst
motives, has dirty spot upon
their garments and are only en-
deavoring to divert attention from
! it by crying out against the posi-
BILE stains upon the garments of
another. 1t is the old cry of the
! thief crying "stop thiefw when he
has the stolen article in his possess
sion. The white sOuled men and
women of the earth are ready to
believe in the white souled natures
Of their fellow creatures. OF this
fact the history Of all times affords
abundant proof.

y
The first and perhaps most important
point settled by the inaugural paper
unon these diseases was to convince
all our nurserymen that 1t was folly 10
bubble about where the disease first
came from and who was the response
BILE party for its Introduction or dis
trlbutlon. 1t was recognized that the
diseases were not peculiar to any given
locality.
The next step was to admit that II
was a serious matter for nurseries to
send out trees in any way cOntami-
mated with these diseases, and the so
ciety passed resolutions to the effect
that each one so doing should be con-
demned. The FIRST thing accomplished,
therefore. was the Inauguration of n
general house cleaning, and ench one
looking after the beam In his own eye,
as II We're. This work has been
thoroughly done by our nurserymen
with but few exceptions, and these de-
serve punishment
The general work OF the commission
since that time has been mostly adj
visory. Specimens OF diseased roots
have been sent freely to the chairman
for examination. AS a result OF his
determinations, large quantities OF
nursery stock We're In some instances
voluntarily condemned by the interested
parties and consigned to the brush pile
and the flames This Is a most COM
mendable spirit and those who have
done so deresrve the respect and con-
hdence Of all nurserymen and orchard
lists.
In a few instances specimens have
been sent by orchardlsts who were
planting trees. Upon giving them the
desired Information conslgnments OF
trees were refused and the nurseryman
suffered loss both In pocket and pa
tronage-a punishment which In fact
as. 49,
terested parties can thank the chair
man OF the commission for not having
been widely published. Later. these
nurserymen recognized their folly and
mended their ways, and II was though
best to give them another chance for
their life.
From this II n apparent that n gen
eral work OF eradication has been in
augurated all along the line. and that
both nurserymen and orchardists are
putting their shoulders to the wheel.
This Ia an important advance, and one
which ought to be gratifying for the
FIRST years work.
Technically II has been found that the
root tumor disease occasionally de-
velopes on pear roots. In the case Of
the propagation of pears upon ounce
Il has been found TO become quite
serious in few instances. One report
related to a plantation OF blackberries
which were utterly ruined by root
tumor affections. Hence II Will be ad-
vlsable for all to keep these host plants
in mind and be on the lookout.
Concerning root gals II should be
stated that this nematode parasite has
become quite troublesome with the
orchardlst and nurseryman OF Ne
braska and California. From Ne
braska complaints to me at Hulen.
Tex, have always pronounced judE-
ment against Florida and Atlantic
coast nurseries. Whether Justly or
not, 7 am not In position TO state.
Great fear ia also entertained with re-
spect 10 the infested districts OF Cali
fornia.
The Texas nurseryman and orchard
irt should therefore strain every effort
TO maintain the high standard OF excel
ience which we are perfectlng.
