Idaho Inspection Service. 



In order to comply with the quaran- 

 tine regulations of other s'ates, which 

 quarantine laws affect the marketing of 

 Idaho products from weevil-infested 

 territory, the Department of Agriculture 

 through its Bureau of Markets is placing 

 in each car of potatoes the following 

 certificate as such car is ofTicially in- 

 spected : 



STATE OF IDAHO 

 Department of Agriculture 

 Bureau of Plant Industry 



, Idaho, , 19. . 



TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 



This is to certify that car shipped 



from on , 19 . . . 



to by 



contains potatoes which have passed over 

 screen and have been placed in fresh, clean 

 sacks. The car is free from alfalfa hay, other 

 hay, and cereal straw, and is free from alfalfa 

 w eevil. 



Inspected by 



Deputy Inspector, District No 



It is the policy of the department to 

 have an inspection certificate accom- 

 pany each car. This procedure will aid 

 materially in marketing Idaho products, 

 as it sometimes happens that a car is 

 rebilled, owing to market conditions, 

 from its original destination and finds 

 its way back into a state requiring such 

 inspection and certificate. 



In addition to inspection of horti- 

 cultural products for quality and condi- 

 tion, freedom from insect pests and 

 diseases, inspection is being given to 

 meet the quarantine requirements of 

 other states. The new ofiicial grades 

 for Idaho on apples, Italian prunes, po- 

 tatoes, hay, grains and leguminous 

 seeds has brought about a state system 

 of inspection which will give more 

 thorough and adequate supervision of 

 the marketing of all these commodities.
