Show DIPPING IS ORDERED 10 CONSERVE MEAT Board Takes Early Measures Mea-sures to Prevent Loss of Sheep by Ticks. Considerable loss having resulted this spring from prevalence of ticks on the bodies of Utah sheep, President C. B. Stewart of the state livestock board has instructed Secretary Thomas Redmond of that body to take early action in enforcing en-forcing a dipping order which was made and issued by the executive committee of the commission in March. According to that order all sheep within the state on or after July 15, except animals ani-mals that are in transit through Utah in railroad cars, shall be dipped between July 15 and September 13, both inclusive, for the eradication of ticks. Flockmasters desiring de-siring to dip before July 15 may do so by first obtaining a permit from the state livestock inspector. This is to prevent re-infesting re-infesting of dipped sheep by mingling with others on the range. Provision is made to give aid when necessary to flockmasters to carry ou t details of the order. The state board desires de-sires to facilitate the dipping in order to meet the national economy program by conserving the country's meat supply. So that owners of sheep may be advised as to requirements and the means of meeting them, President Stewart calls attention at-tention to the following portions of the order: It is also ordered that public buck herds shall not be disbanded until such rams have been inspected and dipped. Custodians of public buck herds, or the owners or agents In charge of rams, are hereby ordered not to allow such rams to be separated sep-arated before they are inspected and dipped. All sheep men that have not places for dipping convenient to their summer ranges shall make provision for the same and if, by reason of forest for-est regulations, they find it impossible to discover suitable locations for dipping vats, they should immediately so advise this board that it may cooperate co-operate in securing such location. It is also ordered that all sheep, rams included, that are herded, trailed or, shipped into this state after July 15, shall remain as quarantined quar-antined within the quarantined district, dis-trict, which shall comprise a strip of country five miles in width and bordering bor-dering throughout on all boundary lines of Utah and adjoining states, or within two miles of point where unloaded un-loaded if sheep are shipped in on cars, until such sheep have been dipped, under the supervision of a state or federal inspector, for the eradication of ticks and in accordance with the rules and regulations of this board and a permit is issued by such inspector in-spector for the shipping or trailing of such sheep Into other parts of the state. Any owner or agent in charge of sheep that may enter within the quarantined district from another state, having a certificate issued by a state or federal inspector showing show-ing that such sheep have been dipped on or after July 15, 191S, and in a manner as required under the rules and regulations of this board for the eradication of ticks, and a copy of such certificate filed with the state livestock board, such owner or agent in charge will not be required to dip such sheep and may trail through the quarantined district to other parts of this state. It is further required by the order that formula and samples of all cresol, coal tar creosote and arsenical dips used in complying with the regulations shall be filed with the board. |
