NURSERYMEN SAY NEW
LAW KILLS THEIR BUSINESS

Sioux Falls. S. D., March 26.-Bitter
complaints in reference to the proyi-
sions of a new law enacted by the re-
cent legislature relating to the nursery
business in the state are made by
nurserymen.
The manager of one Of the largest
nurseries in the state his
company will not attempt to continue
business under the new law. Among
other things the new law provides that
every company, individual. or firm car
rying on a nursery business in South
Dakota must file a pond in the sum OF
$4,000. and that the proprietor or head
OF each nursery concern must pay a
license of $40. with a small fee for each
agent.
The principal objection to the new
law is to hat clause which provides
that when u contract is taken 1t must
De specified in black and white Just
where each tree, shrub. plant or vine
ordered is grown. The n~urserymen de-
clare emphatically that it is utterly
impossible to fill this requirement.
1t is charged by some of the nursery
men that the new law was enacted in
h interest Of nurseries located in 9TH
er states which do business in South
Dakota by means of catalogues, and
which. because they do not sell by.

si0nso of the new law.
