Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eleventh Biennial Report of the Board of Horticulture to the Twenty-Sixth Legislative Assembly Regular Session of the State of Oregon, 1911 I trust that we can today formulate some plan whereby our inspectors can make some accurate reports of conditions as they exist in their respective counties. The tenth biennial report of the board is just now coming from the press; I am very sorry that it has been so long delayed, as it should have been printed earlier. In spite of our best efforts it seemed impossible to get the material ready for the State Printer soon enough for him to get it printed before the legislature met, hence we had to wait until that work was out Of the way. I do not know as there was any one to blame, and the only remedy I see is for us to be a little earlier next time and then demand precedence. In preparing this report the aim has been to condense mat ters a' great deal in comparison with former reports; to cut out all filling and all matter not directly applicable to our own conditions. Although far short of What I had hoped to have it, I trust that it will be found Of some benefit to our growers. We have a generous allowance of them this time, having been granted a 50 per cent increase in the number printed. There is need for extreme vigilance in the matter Of the inspection of incoming nursery stocks, seedlings as well as other stock. There is such an amount of planting now being done in the 'state that our local supplies Of trees are totally inadequate and a vast amount of importing is now being done. As there are no regions where trees are now grown in any quantity that are free from pests, we are in grave danger from these importations. I feel that a word should be said here in appreciation of the careful work done by Inspector E. G. Armstrong of Marion County in detecting the presence of the justly dreaded brown-tail moth in a shipment of nursery stock coming from France. He had never seen them before but recognized them from the cuts and descriptions that he had been studying. The alarm was immediately sounded and other shipments from the same source were traced and thoroughly examined, with the result that Oregon has been spared this scourge for the time at least.
