Mr. White agreed that at the pres ent time the industry in the United States was in a growing but an “un developed state,” and proceeded to introduce witnesses testifying (o the healthy conditlon of American-grown bulbs now and the millions of bulbk which have already been planted in anticipation of the demand next year.

Alexandria T.

He said the ban would deprive womanhood in the small home of one of its most loved flowers. James B. McHutchinson of the Bulb Dealers’ Association, sald the Federal Horticultural Board had not followed the letter of the law in the present case, as any quarantine should specifically nzme the kind of bulb, the area involved and the dis- eace, and should then, if necessury make the quarantine absolute. A letter was read on behalf of Dr. E. van Slogteren, scientific ad- viser to the Netherlands government, describing methods of bulb cultiva- tion there, showing that its plants ara more generally free from pests than those of any other countries, including the United States. A number of horticulturalists and superintendents of estates were in- troduced to testify to the cleanliness of imported bulbs and the necessity of getting them for the American market. They included: O. L. Mackintosh, Thomas W. Head, Wil- liam Kleinheinz, Joseph Tansey, Donald J. Clighton, 8. kabn and M. H.

He said that there | should be some sort of meteorclogical | facilities at Cumberland and Union- {town. Asked by Mr. Reid if any ac- Ition had been tuken with a view to | getting weather stations at these! points, the witne: sald that the afir service had requested that meteorolog: 1 stations be established at a num- ber of places, and on the insistence of |the prosecution voluminous records | \were produced In this connection H Correspondence Read. \ 1w witness was taken | lengthy discussion of unsuccessful e forts made by the Armny Alr Service to obtain a radio station at Muskogee, Okla., for the dissemination of meteor- ological data. Correspondence be. tween the chief of the Slgnal Corps and the adjutant general of the Army concerning the proposed establish ment of this radio station was read into the record. It showed that despite the urgent request of the Air Service, which pointed out that the radio facill- tles were consiered as urgent and of “emergency importance” to protect airmen’s lives, the adjutant general disapproved the project on the ground that funds were not available to pro- vide subsistence and quarters for the additional enlisted men involved. Other letters and Indorsements between Air | Service officers were read to show i that most of the, cost of the project was being borne by the Chamber of Commerce of Muskogee and that very little expense devolved upon the Gov- ernment. The witness was called upon to | read this letter, whereupon the prose- cution protested that it was “‘time for this court to shut out this sort of sub- sequent stuff,” pointing out that this Jetter had been sent after Col. Mitchell had made the statements for which he is now being tried. Col. Moreland de- clared that too much leeway was being given the accused in the presenta- tion of such testimony. i Question is Dropped. Mr. Reid replied that he merely wanted to complete the records show- ing the action of the War Department in regard to the Muskoges situation, but said that If the prosecution was willing to stipulate that nothing was done he would be willing to leave out the records. Col. Moreland repeated his objection, so Mr. Reld said: “Oh, all right, i he doesn't care to show what the War Department did we are willing to_let the matter rest.”” Lieut. Duke read into the record original official correspondence be- tween the chief of Air Service, the chief signal officer and the adjutant general regarding the establishment of radio stations at points along the model airway and the assignment of enlisted men trained in meteorology to those points.
