servant or agent, violates any provision of this section shall be punished for the first 

 offence by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars, and for a subsequent offence 

 by a fine of not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars." 



This law was designed to aid every poultryman, large and small, to raise poultry 

 free of pullorum infection, which has been a costly disease through the years. The 

 ultimate goal is to attain complete eradication of the disease so that our poultrymen 

 will not have to spend large sums of money each year to test their flocks. Several 

 states have adopted laws to control the spread of pullorum disease and at the 1958 

 National Plans Conference the delegates voted to request the Federal government 

 to draw up minimum regulations to control the movement of poultry in interstate 

 commerce.
