38 FUMIGATION OF APPLES FOR SAN JOSE SCALE. 



The following States have no restrictions affecting the introduction or shipment of 

 scale-infested fruits: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, 

 Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, 

 Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Caro- 

 lina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, 

 West Virginia, and Wisconsin. 



Strict regulations are in force in regard to infested fruits as well as nursery stock in 

 the following States: 



CALIFORNIA. 



Under the horticultural laws of California, the state board of horticulture is empow- 

 ered to fumigate and hold all shipments of fruit infested with the San Jose scale until 

 the insects are dead. The fruit, however, can not be destroyed, as this pest already 

 exists in the State. 



Shipments going into counties of California are subject to the ordinances of the 

 county, and may be destroyed according to county regulations. Shipments from one 

 county to another in the State are treated in the same manner. 



COLORADO. 



The law empowers the destruction of any fruit or nursery stock coming into the 

 State which has upon it the living San Jose scale. The consignor has the privilege of 

 reshipping the infested fruit or nursery stock out of the State. 



IDAHO. 



Idaho specifically prohibits the importation and shipment of fruit infested with the 

 San Jose scale. Fruit bearing the marks of infestation is not permitted to be sold in 

 the State except for purposes of manufacturing by-products. 



IOWA. 



While there is no warrant to exclude introduction into the State of fruit infested 

 with the San Jose scale, it is not permitted to ship fruit from orchards in the State 

 known to be infested with the insect. 



MONTANA. 



The Montana horticultural laws provide that all deciduous and other fruit infested 

 with the San Jose scale, from any State, shall be destroyed by burning or otherwise, 

 which also applies to fruit from within the State. 



OKLAHOMA. 



The Oklahoma law provides that fruit or other articles of commerce, as nursery stock, 

 found infested with the San Jose scale shall be placed under quarantine and by prac- 

 tical methods the insect destroyed or eradicated. The regulations as to importation 

 from other States, however, relate only to nursery stock. 



OREGON. 



The Oregon law declares that the offering for sale of fruit infested with the San Jose 

 scale constitutes a public nuisance. Upon the finding of infested fruit, by the county 

 inspector, the party having same for sale is promptly notified to destroy the insects by 

 drenching with kerosene oil or to destroy the fruit. In case of failure, this work is 

 attended to by the county inspector, or in case of large shipments in Portland the 

 fruit is destroyed at the crematory.
