Stewart, Stew-art, secretary of the Stato Wool Growers' Grow-ers' association, from Gcorgo D. Felt, a well-known sheep ownor of Salt Lake, but who spends much of his time in Nevada, is to the effect that there is no quarantine in that state against sheep coming from any other state. Mr, Stewart asked Mr. Felt to look into this situation, as tho latter was on tho spot, he being thcro to see tho condition con-dition of his flocks. Mr. Felt says that ho met the sheriff and assessor of Elko county at Wendovcr aiid they statod thnt as vet no actiou had been taken and sheep had been passing into the state every day. Elko county is on tho Utah-Nevada border lino. Mr. Felt, who writes from Ibnpah, states that thero has boon a light fall of snow and tho sheep in that section aro doing splendidly. Tho fact that no quarantine has been established in Nevada against Utah sheep will come as welcome nows to the Utah flock, masters, as about 500,-000 500,-000 sheep winter in Nevada every year. Tho proposed quarantino was to be against necro bacillosis, but tho scaro seems to have- passed. |
