Show HEKP SCABIES QVARTINE LIFTED OX AUGUST 24TH The Department of Agriculture ha: ;iven notice that inasmuch as the :ounties of Carbon, Emery and Grand n the State of Utah, are now free rom the disease known as scabies among sheep, the quarntine against these counties has been lifted, effective effec-tive August 24th, 1914. This frees the entire state of Utah from the quar antine for sheep scabies. The only srrltory remaining under Federal quarantine for this disease consists of the western portion of California, the southeastern portion of Colorado, and the entire state of Texas. The result injjtah has been accomplished accom-plished by an effective state law-passed law-passed by the Utah legislature in 1913 for the eradication of live stock iiseases, and through the active cooperation co-operation under that law on the part f the State Ho;ed of Sheep Commissioners Commis-sioners with the United States De partment of Agriculture. For over 12 years prior to the passage of the law the State and Federal authorities had been working to eradicate sheep scab from Utah, but with unsatisfactory unsatisfac-tory results. |
