is no increase in enrollment in thesi

HAY SHIPMENTS
The state of Oregon has no quaran­
tine preventing the shipment of hay
from any of its counties into any other
state of the union. Such quarantines as
do exist in regard to the counties are
not Oregon quarantines, but the quar­
antines by other states.
In case the weevil should spread to
! other counties these
quarantines of
other states would also Include the en
tire state of Oregon. As it ls no,
thirty-two Oregon counties have n
I state or federal quarantines against the
shipment o f hay.
The following counties are quaran­
tined by other states, Malheur, Baker
Jackson and Josephine. Some states
also include Union county.

of agriculture communicated with th ■

tral States asking what their attltud-’
