Louisville 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.
