State Dept. of Agriculture, Bureau of Rodent

COUNTY REGULATIONS. Each county com- 
missioner has issued regulations limiting the weed 
seeds permitted in seed entering or being trans- 
ported within the county. Check these regula- 
tions before shipping seed. 
The director or the commissioner 
may issue and enforce a written or printed 
“stop sale’? order to the owner or custodian of 
any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed which 
he finds in violation of any provisions of the 
law, which prohibit further sale of such seed 
until such officer has evidence that the law has 
been complied with. The owner or custodian 
of such seed upon demand shall have the right 
to a hearing before the director or commissioner 
as to the justification of any such order, and 
may appeal to the director from any order of 
the commissioner made under the provisions of 
this act. Any decision of the director in accord- 
ance with this section is subject to review by 
any court of competent jurisdiction. 
Any lot of agricultural or vegetable 
seed not in compliance with the provisions of 
this article shall be subject to seizure on com- 
plaint of the director or the commissioner to 
a court of competent jurisdiction in the area 
in which the seed is located. In the event the 
court finds the seed in violations of the act it may 
order the seed to be condemned and denatured, 
processed, destroyed, relabeled or released upon 
conditions as the court in its discretion may 
impose, to insure that the seed will be disposed 
of in compliance with the laws of this state. 
Anything brought into any county or locality 
of the State found to be infested with the seed 
of any pest not of common occurrence in the 
county or locality, shall be returned within 48 
hours after the owner or bailee has been notified 
by the director or commissioner, if such seeds 
can be destroyed by treatment the director or 
commissioner may order it done under his di- 
rection.
