Inspection, Certification, and Transportation of Nursery
Stock in Kentucky With a Brief Report for the
Year Ended June 30, 1943.
q W. A. PRICE and HOWARD G. TILSON
’ Shortage ot labor has been the major p1·oblem encountered by
Z Kentucky inirserymen this year. In most cases nurserymen have par-
tially solved the problem by tl1e use of boys and older men with very
little experience in nursery work. A few nurserymen have employed
` women for lighter jobs such as weeding, potting, watering and pack-
ing. Ditticnltics have occurred in replacing 1nen experienced in dig-
ging, balling, and planting landscape material.
‘ Tlirongh cooperation and ingenuity, nurserymen have been able
_ to cope with the problems of rationing and shortages of materials and
still give excellent service and good quality nursery stock to their
customers. The spirit of cooperation has made it possible to deal
quickly and adequately with insect and plant disease problems which
y might easily have become serious.
· General growing conditions throughout the year were favorable.
There was adequate rainfall i11 most sections and landscape material
"made up" well. Tl1e acreage 1·cplanted to nursery stock has been
somewhat less than average because ot' a late wet spring and a short- _
age of available labor. The supply of certified strawberry plants was
very short and the acreage planted to strawberries in the principal
growing sections continues to be below average. All available small-
p t'ruiti and tree-truit stocks have been sold. Nurserymen report that
y most of the apple, peach, and small-fruit stock was sold in small orders
to gardeners and l'armers for home planting. All vacant blocks in
the nurseries a1·e being plantetl to vegetable and t'et· O 0

Japanese Beetle V
No additional infestations of Japanese beetles have been found
in Kentucky since the successful soil treating of the infestation in
Louisville during September 1938 (see Kentucky Regulatory Series
Bulletin 19, 1939). ln the 590 traps operated in Louisville by tl1e .
Bureau of lintoniology and Plant Quarantine only one bettle was
captured during the trapping period of 1942.
'l`he infestations of Japanese beetles in states surrounding Ken-
tucky have shown comparatively small increase or spread. There
have been extensions of the area under Federal Quarantine in New
York, Maryland, Pennsylvania. Virginia, and i\\’est Virginia. The
area now under regulations of the federal Japanese beetle quarantine
includes the entire states of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts.
` New Jersey. Rhode Island, the District of Columbia, and parts of V
Nfaine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Vermont. Vir- A
ginia and \\'est Virginia.
Several states where infestations of Japanese beetle have been ,
found are not included in the above list of regulated areas. lt has
been the policy of those in charge of administering the Japanese
beetle regulations to withhold quarantine restrictions on an area where ·
Japanese beetles were found if the state or local authorities would
make satisfactory preparations for treating the infested area in order
to externiinatc the beetles or prevent their spread. Thus Kentucky, V
by treating the 45-acre infested area in Louisville in 1938, was spared
the restrictions of a fedc1·aI Japanese beetle quarantine. Florida,
tteorgia. Illinois. Indiana, Missouri. Michigan, North Carolina, South
(`arolina. and Ohio have had isolated infestations of Japanese beetle
which have been treated or a1·e being· treated in accordance with pro»
visions stipulated by the llureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
Plmny Peach Disease
'l`he last phony peach infected tree was found in Kentucky in
l9$i9. lnspections of orchards and nursery environs have been made
for the past three years without finding the disease. Kentucky will
he considered free from phony peach disease until such time as another
tree is found infected with the virus.

White Fringed Beetle ` I
\Vhite fringed beetles were found during the summer of 1942 in ‘ l
‘ the counties of New Hanover, Pender, and XVayne in North Carolina.
An extensive survey was made and the infested areas were brought
under federal quarantine (No. 72) in December 1942. Additional
a1·eas in Alabama and Mississippi have also been brought lIll(lC1' quar-
- antine restrictions. The ipiarantined areas in Florida and Tiouisiana
remain unchanged.
