HI ' The Salt Lake City Horticultural so-ciety so-ciety is in favor of tho changes pro posed in tho laws relating to horti-- horti-- culture in bills now ponding in the leg-islature, leg-islature, and at its monthly meeting, Saturday' afternoon, appointed a com- mittcc of three to attend the legisla-tuvo legisla-tuvo and try to lobby the bills through. Tho local county society wants the president of tho Agricultural college made a member of the proposed state board of horticulture, but also wants tho stales horticultural inspector placed un-lyr un-lyr bond to tho stato for the faithful performance of his duties. The bill to this effect, now being considered by II tho legislature, provides no bond for the I proposed stato horticultural inspector while it requires the other inspectors and deputies to furnish a bond. This does not rightfully distribute the re-sponi re-sponi ibilit3', in the opinion of tho Salt Lnlce county societj', hence its petition peti-tion to the legislature. The local society is also in favor of a penalty for tho sale of nursery stock nor true to name. This is along the line of the pure-food bills requiring tho .true label upon foodstuffs. The nursery I men, or some of them, it is claimed, I 1 have been shipping stock into Utah I and representing it as local stock, and I the society wants to stop this practice I by making tho nurser3' men properly j label their fruit. The society is ask- ing the legislature to provide a penalty I for misrepresenting stock in this waj ! Inspectors and their deputies will also I .hnvo to bo capable of pruning and spraying trees, if the local society gets I its waj'. These things aro not required I of inspectors and deputies now. Al- most any one has been able to get a t job at this work, whether capable or I not, and considerable damage has re-I re-I suited to stock. I J. M. Fisher, jr.. of East Mill Creek, I County Commissioner Walter Burton I and John P. Sorensen, horticultural in-I in-I spector of Salt Lake county, were del-1 del-1 egated to appear before the horticul- ture committee of the legislature and I attempt to get these recommendations 1 incorporated in the present bill intro-f intro-f rlucecl into the house by Representative I Bower. |
