 inspector to reinspect any shipment into the State upon its arrival if, for any 

 reason, it may be deemed necessary in order to protect the interests of the State. 

 It shall be their further duty to keep themselves informed, as far as possible, 

 concerning the operation and enforcement of the regulations of the board and 

 to communicate such information to the secretary, each cooperating in the full- 

 est measure in order that the greatest impetus and service may be rendered to 

 the horticultural interests of Wyoming. 



12. In order that the benefits contemplated by this act may accrue to the 

 State in the fullest measure, fruit growers and owners of even the smallest 

 orchards are earnestly requested to report to the secretary of the board the 

 conditions of their orchards. If insects or fungous diseases have found entrance, 

 it will be the duty of the secretary to cooperate with the owner for the exter- 

 mination or eradication of such insects or diseases. To that end printed direc- 

 tions for the treatment of infested or infected trees will be sent, and all other 

 available information will be supplied.
