QUARANTINE AND TRANSPORTATION. 227 



2. State Regulations. 



State laws in regard to sheep are continually 

 changing due to unforeseen contingencies. The 

 most attention has been given state inspection 

 in the Rocky Mountain region, which is the home 

 of perhaps one-half the sheep in this country. 



In brief, the laws of the several states may be 

 summarized as follows: 



1. Those states at present having no laws re- 

 garding the admission of sheep into their boun- 

 daries from other states are: Arkansas, Con- 

 necticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, 

 Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mis- 

 souri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Okla- 

 homa, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and 

 Virginia. 



2. Those states requiring a "health certifi- 

 cate, ' ' at present, are : Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, 

 Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, 

 North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, 

 South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and 

 West Virginia. 



3. Those requiring compliance to Federal reg- 

 ulations, at present, are: Arizona, California, 

 Colorado and Florida. 



4. States accepting only their own officials' 

 inspection and dipping the sheep before entering 

 their boundaries if from a state under Federal 

 quarantine, at present, are: Idaho, Montana, Ne- 

 vada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. 



Space forbids giving the state laws at length; 

 and, furthermore, they are of interest to only 

 a limited number.
