 Livestock and Sheep Sanitary Boards
 The livestock sanitary board has jurisdiction to enforce quarantine reg ulations, rules looking to the pro lection of the public from diseased and unwholesome meat products. the protection of the range interest from theft. and, :n general, to exercise SUI pervision over the range stock in terests of the territory. The enforce ment of quaraat ne regulation is un- der the management of the territo- rial veterinarian.
 The sheep sanitary commission of the territory reports that the con dition of the sheep oh the range as regards scabies infection was more favorable than ever before. The commission reports that the moving of flocks from winter to summer ranges in the spring and their return to the winter from the summer ranges in the fall is a great assist ance in the eradication of the in ! fe.,f ,rI,s ,nr1f results in a more frequent dipping | Of the fiocks.

 Arizona Fair Commission
 The territory maintains a fair which is held at Phoenix in No gember of each year. The grounds on which the fair is held were ac quired during the year so that the territory now holds title to the same The fair is each year becoming more attractive and enl sting greater in lterest on the part of the people oi the whole territory. The exhibits especially in the line of livestock are remarkable for their high class variety and size.
 Horticultural Commission.
 The importance of the work al the commission to the fruit industry of the territory can scarcely be over estimated. The legislature, in provii ing for the commission, appropriated the sum of &3g00 to pay the expenses tof the work of the commission fol leach of the years ending June 30 1s10. and June 90, 1911. Notwith standing this small appropriat on thu report of the commission shows ths the benefits realized from the years work have been most gratifying ir the protection of orchards already planted and in preventing infected trees from being introduced. So fal our orchards have been comparatively free from destructive pests. Some damage has been done to apple or chards in sect 'ons of the territory by the woody aphis. Experimental work bas been done by the ethnolo- gist of the commission to determine the best method of destroying the pest. The results thus far are prom. ising. The most serious pest so far established in the territory is the coddling moth, which is attached in places to apple and pear orchards. The citrus orchards have thus far escaped serious infection from de structive scale. During the year shipments of orange trees from Flor ida have been found in some in stances to be infected with mealy bugs. The consignments found to be infected were destroyed, in accord ance with the provisions of the law. It is to be regretted that larger appropriation is not available to tf commission, so that it may carry on its work of investigation and also its experimental work so as to give the largest measure of protection poss ble within the scope of it's authority con- ferred by the act creating the com mission.
 Agricultural Experimental Station.
 During the year the work of the station has been conducted along es- tablished lines of experimentation The offices. laboratory, and green houses are located in the university buildings at Tucson Experiments in cultural work and sheep breeding are conducted upon the station farm near Phoenix. Date palms imported from che old World are grown at Tempe Jn lands containing alKali, which are nus especially suited to their growth At Yuma on the bottom lands, sub feet to the oyer flow of the Coloradp liver, an snteas've garden for pus poses of oemcnst-ation is operated
