The great amount of nursery stock

the great and growing Importance of
the fruit industry of Delta county. The
inspection of nursery stock is the first
and most vital question as regards the
future of the fruit industry. While it
has been the aim and effort of this Of
flee to allow no nursery stock to be de-
livered to the purchaser until carefully
inspected, the vast amount Of such
stock brought in and delivered in such
short time, overburdens the force
employed in this Office at the time of
delivery of nursery stock. most re-
spectfully recommend that during the
spring delivery Of nursery stock that
another assistant inspector be appointed,
making the force in this office three H.
spectors instead of two, as now. Crown
gall seems to be the most persistant
and vicious of all nursery stock diseases.
know Of no nursery not having it.
When first assuming duty as inspector,
this office was the first in the state to
make persistant and rigid rejection Of
what is known as crown gall, and the
fight still continues. That information
should be general in regard to the char
acteristics and injury done by this dis
ease, this office has distributed more
bulletins on crown gall than any other
subject. While the quantity Of nursery
stock condemned is large, the per cent
age is very small-much less than any
during my term. The bulk of stock
condemned has mainly come from net
more than three nurseries. Notice has
been served that such stock must be in
better condition next season to pass in
speetion in Delta county.
While the peach crop has been SO un-
jverselly injured throughout the county,
there will probably be from twenty to
thirty cars shipped over the home de-
mand, SO it's not an entire failure, All
other fruits are in abundance, especial
iy apples. Owing to a reduced crop Of
apples over most of the fruit sections.
the increased price thereby will bring
to Delta county nearly, if not quite as
much money value as any year of the
past.
Since my connection with this office
the introduction Of nursery st9ck has
increased MORE than 100 per cent, and
the acreage of fruit nearly 900 per cent.
