INJURIOUS INSECTS OF 1903. 147 



UTAH : A State Board of Horticulture, consisting of four 

 members, is appointed by the Governor, subject to the approval 

 of the Senate, and this board is authorized to make regulations 

 for the quarantining and disinfecting of stock which in their opin- 

 ion is dangerous. 



County Commissioners appoint County Boards of Horticul- 

 ture when horticultural interests appear to demand the same. 

 Each County Board appoints a County Inspector. Stock has to 

 be disinfected, when necessary, upon the order of Covmty 

 Board. Diseased or infested stock, or rubbish harboring insects, 

 etc., must be burned. No stock can be imported into state with- 

 out a certificate of fumigation. Certificates of fumigation are 

 granted to residents when it is proved to the inspector or his 

 deputy or to the County Board that the stock under discussion 

 has been so treated. 



VERMONT : No law. 



VIRGINIA : Rules regulating inspection, importation, quar- 

 antine, etc., of nursery stock are made by the Board of Crop Com- 

 missioners, which board consists of the Board of Control of the 

 Virginia Agricultural Expermient Station. Supervision and in- 

 spection of stock are placed in hands of State Entomologist, ap- 

 pointed by the above board. Violation of regulations made by 

 the board on the part of nurserymen or orchardists means a fine 

 of from $50 to $100 for each and every offense. Conditions of 

 transportation and sale of plants or parts of plants, commonly 

 known as nursery stock, within the state are regulated by board. 

 The State Entomologist is empowered to determine nature and 

 method of treatment of infested plants, and his orders to this 

 effect can be enforced by a process of law if necessary. The Crop 

 Pest Commission, or its agent, may enter any premises for the 

 purpose of examining plants and trees, and any person hindering 

 them shall be subject to fine. Annual inspection by State Ento- 

 mologist is provided for and the issuance of certificates to parties
