It is a well known fact that our soil is warmer in the autumn than it is in the spring, even though atmospheric temperature may be the same. There is a storage of heat in the soil which reaches its greatest depth in the autumn, and is given off during autumn and winter. It seems possible that the release of this great quantity of heat stored in the soil may furnish conditions to the autumn transplanted trees almost akin to mild bottom heat in hot beds. The fartlier south we go, the more is au- tumn transplanting to be recommend- ed, while farther toward the north, where the autumn leaps quickly into winter, and where the severe winters make winter-killing at all likely, it will be safer to transplant in the spring. Prof, S. J. Hunter, State Entomolo- gist, University of Kansas, read a pa- per on "The Nurseryman and the En- tomologist," urging a cordial co-opera- tion between the two. E. A. Smith, of Lake City, Minne- sota, read a rei^ort on Root gall, giving the results of investigations carried on by him for several years which seem to indicate that the disease is not con- tagious. Mr. Smith urged that other nurserymen set out experimental plats in which to make further tests under varying conditions. The Committee on Transportation made a report in which it stated that the members of the Uniform Classi- fication Committee of the Interstate Commerce Commission who are han- dling the nursery schedule have de- cided that in the new classification trees and shrubs on bills of lading will have to be specified as "dormant shrubs," "dormant plants," etc., in or- der to avoid .being billed at a higher rate.
