VIII Establish Quarantine.
The principal business transacted
at the meeting was the apportionirg
of the funds for horticultural inspec-
tion among the various inspection dis
tnicts of the state, and the consider
alton of the question of placing quar-
antines against the state OF CALI
fornia to prohibit the importat' on of
nursery stock from the section of
that state which is infested with the
pear thrips, and also to protect Ida
no against the introduction OF the
potato tuber moth from California by
the importation of pota-
toes from that state. The board

state horticultural inspector to pre-
pare these quarantine orders, and re-
to the governor that
they be promulgated.
Work of Coming Year.
The board also authorized the
statement that the policy of srtict
Of the horticultural Laws
would be continued and that the work
If cleaning up the state from all In
sect pests and diseases injurious to

uted. Every fruit grower in the
tate will be asked to cooperate with

s effective results cannot be Sc
ured without such cooperation.
On account of the limited appro-
riation for the inspection work and
he great increase in the fruit acre
ge in the state, the board also de-
ided that the main efforts of the in
pection force should be concentrat-

richards are located, and that the
lspection work in the cities should

Inspect Country First.
This is a departure from former
ethods and one that will, undoubt- :

g inspectors shall devote the most .
their time out in the country /.
here they can perform the best y
rvice to the state by aiding the h
rmers and orchardists in keeping
cir orchards free from the San Jose
ale, the cooling moth, apple scab,
ar blight and other dangerous in II
cts and diseases. The unanimous
ntiment of the board, as expressed

lies could be reduced to an insight q,
