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 apples 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.
