576 Ke VOCATION OF Testing of Seeds Order. [Sept., 1921. 



Export of Live Stock to Argentina. —The Argentine Govern- 

 ment, in a Decree issued on the 14th July, authorised the importation 

 of Kve stock into Argentina from the United Kingdom, and made it a 

 condition that the stock must be carried on sliips which make a direct voyage 

 from British to Argentine ports. This condition has in practice been found to 

 create certain difficulties in connection with the export of stock from the 

 United Kingdom to Argentina, since most vessels from British to Argentine 

 ports call en route at Monte Video, Uruguay. 



As a result of representations by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, 

 the Argentine Government issued a further Decree excepting the port of 

 Monte Video from the condition mentioned.
