Minnesota May Shut Door Again— Martin Extends Time on Opening Order Until March 31st Word was received by the County agent's office Tneaday that Minnesota contemplated putting a quarantine back on hay from Malheur and Baker counties. Shipments a rt being held up on account o I this threat. Governor Martin has signed an order extending the quarantine modification to permit shipment of hay from Malheur and Baker counties until March 31st, accord ing to word received from May Gehlar, director of the state De partment of Agriculture. The de partment feels that there Is no ad ditional hazard in shipping during this season under the regulations and feel there is no additional hazard In making the extension. Some of the western, states still have quarantines among them selves, although Idaho has follow ed suit in modification made In Oregon. The mid-west states con tend that they cannot be expected to lead the way in removing their quarantines until the western states are more reasonable among themselves. Someone In the past has oversold the Importance of the weevil and Mr. Gehlar says they are finding It difficult to con vince them that the weevil is Just on of the thousands of "Just bugs."
