TRENTON, April IA, lS9S.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the State Board of Ag-
riculture held a session with Senator
Skirm and Senator Voorhees, in the Ex-
ecutive Chamber at the State House Tues
day, at which they mapped out the work
to carry into effect the provisions of the
skirm act designed to prevent the intro
duction into New Jersey of the San Jose
scale.
The commissioners for each county of
the State, excepting Passaic county, were
appointed. Each county under the bill is
allowed three commissioners, who are APP
pointed by the Executive Committee of
the State Board Of Agriculture.
The State Entomologist, who will be
chief insect inspector, controlling the
| county commissioners or insect inspec-
tors was ordered by the Executive
Board to nave printed at once 900 copies
of the law, which he will distribute
throughout the State, and a copy of which
he will place in the hands of the entom-
ologist of each State in the Union. He
will also supply a copy of the law to varf-
Gus agricultural societies in the different
States.
The State Entomologist was also direct
ed to prepare a letter, which is to be
printed in circular form, and mail a copy
to the chief freight agent of all railroads
doing business in New Jersey.
The circular letter the State Entomolo-
gist is directed to prepare will notify the
railroad companies of all the require
men of the insect inspector act, and of
the character of the certificates that must
| be attached to all nursery stock intro
dueed into the State. When prepared a
| copy of this letter shall be sent to the
managers of all express companies doing
business in New Jersey, the Executive
Committee of the State Board of Agricul-
ture has informed the State Entomologist.
The State entomologist was also direct
ed to prepare a circular letter for all
nurserymen, setting forth the law n
stating the scope of the certificates that
will be given, together with the charlie
ter of the examination that will be made
of their stock by the county insect in
speetor or the State entomologist. He
must also supply the nurserymen with a
formula which they can use when a par
eel shipped by them contains stock that
has been received under certificate, but
grown by others.
The agricultural executive board ex-
pressed the opinion that the most i'm
portant work to be lone under this new
office is to attempt to ascertain the ex-
act limitations of the San Jose scale, and
if possible to visit every infested orchard
in order to give personal directions to ev-
cry ~erchardist. They direct that all pos
sible efforts will be made to avoid using
the compulsory powers given to the COM
missioners or to the entomologist by the
act, and instructed the State entomolo-
gist to prepare a series of leaflets giving
concise directions for the treatment of
all the common farm and shade tree
pests. These are to be used to answer
letters and to notify persons against
whom proceedings are to be taken under
the law.
