Wiugaril of Clmnipaisu, 111., special agent of the state eiUomolosists, State's Attorney Uobert Tiltou. April 5. filed complaint against Rolit. K. DeFreitas. James Nnnes an<l Martin Souza. charg- ing: them with offering hindrance to the work of the department in spraying in- fected nnrsery stock. The cases were called in Esqnire Dyer's court and the case against DeFreitas was dismissed upon the payment of the minimum fine of $10 and costs. The cases against Is'unes and Soiiza were continued 10 days. Under the state law, inspectors under the direction of the state entomologist may examine nursery stock, and if it is found to 'oe infested, order the owner to spray it. If the owner refuses, the state may spray it at his exijense. It seems that in the cases above that inspectors had found nursery stock infested and had ordered it sprayed. Upon failure so to do. officers of the state had been hindered in their efforts to spray the stock and as a result an appeal was made to the state's attorney to file complaint. The statute for offenses of this character makes the minimnra fine ,$10 and maxi- mmn fine §100.—Jacksonville Journal. Texas Nurserymen's Association.

That the members of the Texas Nurserymen's Association and otliers assembled at Austin are impressed with the great import- ance of the work devolving upon our Department of Agriculture of Texas, and that to discharge these obligations will require a strong appro- priation of funds. Resolved further. That we believe that amounts asked for by Commissioner Kane, namely. $30,000 for the Agricultural Department proper, and $10,000 for the orchard and nursery inspection laws, are very conservative estimates
