V I ww Financial Statement of the State Entomoiogist
l vp The appropriation made by the State for the inspection of
g A 1 nursery stock is only $500 per year. The Experiment Station,
g l, _ with the sanction of the Board of Trustees, provides for the
i . - _ salaries of those doing the work; otherwise it would be imprac-
a ticable to do it with the small amount appropriated. Other
states have made available for such inspections from $1,500 to
. $50,000 annually, the amounts ranging, of course, with the im-
l , . portancc of nursery and orchard interests in the different states.
[ 'L . Thus, Connecticut appropriates $6,000; Florida, $35,000; Geor-
i i gia, $50,000; Illinois, $8,740; Iowa, $5,500; Indiana, $15,000;
_ j_ I Massachusetts, $14,000; Michigan, $7,000; Minnesota, $4,000;
E _ '_ New York, $50,000; Ohio, $8,500; and so on, ours being one
.`.. _ of the smallest amounts provided. As required by the law, the ~
I f I i State Entomologist of Kentucky furnishes certified, itemized
I tl I 5 V accounts of all expenses to the State Auditor and, in December
;. ii? ii of each year, furnishes the State Treasurer a report on the ex- .
" I penditures made during the calendar year. The expenses for
_ 1917 were somewhat greater than in 1916 and have already
gf been reported to the Treasurer, but may be given here as show-
ing the amount available for the work, under the law now in
. force. For it must be remembered that no part ot the fund
: can be used except for expenses. Q
