The Federal Inspection Law. The legislative committee of the Ameri- can Association of Nurserymen has resumed the campaign in favor of the national inspection law. The following circular letter has been sent to all nur- serymen by C. L. Watrous, Des Moines, la., chairman of the committee: In oljedieucp tn the unanimous vote of the asso- ciation at Mihvjuikee last .June, the committee on legislation is doinc; its utmost to secure the suc- cess of nur inspection bill (H. R. 10,999). The coramitt e will go to Washington next week to urge action, and needs your aid. ^othing will help so much as a good, strong personal letter to your congressman and one to your senator. Will you attend to this. wTiting atonce and make your appeal as earnest as you can? We ask uniform rules to govern interstate shipments. At present most states have laws, but there is no uniformity. Some are very drastic and dilflcult to comply with: others are imperfect; and some states have no laws at all. The administration of these laws lacks uniformity as much as the laws themselves do, causing complaint and friction. The great fruit growing interests of the country suffer less and business is hampe ed by uncertainty. We need uniform rules of law and uniform rules of administration. These will be secured by the passage of our bill. Please do not fail to meiition the number (10,999) and that we hope to have it without amendments.
