better practices by the method cited
above. They agree that much more
can be done in this friendly way
than by enforcing the law to the
letter. Now this law, while it pro
vides for drastic measures, provides
also for educational work and in the
minds of all right thinking people
the latter method is by far the
better way.

I as valuable to the community as the
better methods of selling. When
the organization sets up its stand
ards for high quality then those
who want the advantages of better
marketing facilities must keep their
trees healthy and the fruit free from
insects and disease. If they do not
grow good fruit the association will
not handle it. In such a district
there is practically no need of a law
governing their fruit growing
practices, except In relation to in
spection of nursery stock, for these
growers are more careful and
thorough in their practices than any
law could compel them to be, be
cause they find that to be the best
business method. This is true of in
dividuals in our own sections, but
where the cooperative movement is
not present, then some legislation is
necessary to clean up a pest-breeding
orchard, just as legislation is used
to get rid of any other sort of public
nuisance.
In our own state such a law
exists. This law isenforred throuch
the State Commissioner of Horti
culture. Under him are the county
inspectors, wnose operations are
confined to one county or group of
counties adjoining. Under the
county insjiectors, if need be, there
are deputy inspectors who act with
and assist the county inspectors.
The counties pay the salaries of the
county inspectors while the state
pays for the higher officials.
It is the duty of each inspector
not only to search carefully through
his territory for harmful insects and
diseases, and to force the fruit
grower to adopt methods of control,
but he must also "foster and pro
mote impartially the horticultural
interests throughout the county."
In addition he is advised to furnish
to the county press articles "of infor
mation and interest on horticultural
subjects.
As to the powers of the inspectors,
the law specifically states that if the
inspector, by his own observation, i
or upon complaint, learns, or if he
has reason to suspect the presence
of injurious insects and diseases in
any orchards, gardens, packing
houses, packages etc., he must in
spect the property ..without delay.
If a pest is discovered the owner or
agent must be notified. The in
spector must prescribe the manner
of disinfection and direct the owner
or agent to disinfect at once. If
this is not complied with in the limit
of time set by the inspector or com
missioner, it is a mdidemeanor, and
upon conviction the offender may
be fined not more than one hundred j
dollars and costs. I

LETTER 10 FRUITGROWERS
"ertjrfS"
Oil
Everybody engaged In the pro
duction of fruit, whether for the
market or home consumption, i.s
more or less interested, or shoqjd
be, in the control of the insects and
fungus pests that attack the trees
or fruit itself. Those who do take
good care of their trees know that
with or without a law they benefit
through greater production and
better returns, but they also know
that they are hampered in their
efforts to control an insect or a
disease by the indifference, neglect
or even opposition on the part of
those who do not care if their fruit
is wormy or scabby, and who are
willing to take any old price for
their inferior product. They, do
not work in the doctrine of "quality"
nor can they see anything In the
motto Never spray, never pay."
Still these people contend that an
2 CO I inspection law would foice them to
17 50 adopt new practices and would tako
6 10 away their "risrhts" as citizens.
when it is evident that they are not
8 00 1 good citizens. They would not like
i id io called parasites or grafters,
11 00 yet, are they not. without anv effort
4 10 ot heir own. benefiting bv the
county court shall allow and pay
the sum out of the general fund of
the county. Any and all sums so
paid shall be and become a lien upon
the property and premises from
which said nuisances shall have been
removed and abated, in pursuance
of this act, and may be recovered by '
a suit in equity against such prop
erty or premises, which suit to'
foreclose such liens shall be brought
in the circuitjeourt of the county
where the premises are situated, by
the district attorney in ihe name
ana ror the benefit of the countv
making such payments."
The law gives the inspector frcc.
access to any and all" places in his
district where pests are present.
This provision enables him to dis-
regara sucn signs as I'i ivat.e !
