special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Sept. 1.-The state board of
horticulture held it's second meeting
mere this afternoon and evening All
OF the members of the board were pres
ent, including Secretary Edwards of
Mlssoula. The meeting was called pri-
marty to make some changes in the
rules so as to take more active meas
ures to enforce the law as to infected
stock ana fruits. A large part of the
session was devoted to the discussion
of the proposed changes in the rules.
When the board adjourned late to-
night the amendments were not in
shape for publication and Secretary
Edwards said he did not care to give
them out for publication until they had
been properly arranged. as it might
create confusion. He said there were
no very sweeping changes.
Secretary Edwards showed the
board some interesting statistics
cleaned from the reports of the in
spectors. The tables showed the work
of the inspectors this year as far as
conducted. The tables give number of
fruit growers, the number of trees, the
character of the soil and much other
interesting data, The reports, al
though incomplete, were a revelation
to the board, showing the growth of
the fruit industry. The trees so far
inspected would cover about 1000 acres.
The inspectors report that about $500
new trees were planted this year.
The appointment of w. X. Semple
as inspector for Butte and Helena, re-
Gently made, was confirmed. He APP
peared before the board and told what
he had been doing. He had inspected
considerable fruit in Butte, and found
quite a lot of scale and Goblin moth.
Lists have been obtained from dealers
of the parties from whom they pur-
chased fruit, and these have all been
notified of the stringent measures that
will be taken to examine all fruit
shipped into the state. After Oct. !
Inspector Semple will devote his time
exclusively to the Butte field. After
that date all fruit Will be stamped as
passed and so certified or condemned
and DESTROYED.
