Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Quarantine Laws and Orders: Bulletin No; 1; July, 1911 The statutes of California contain but two measures governing the Commissioner of Horticulture, namely, the act of 1899, popularly known as the "Stale Quarantine Law," and the act establishing the present State Commission of Horticulture, enacted in 1903. and amended finally June 26, 1911. The objects of the quarantine clauses of both these laws are to prevent the introduction of harmful insects and plant diseases into the State, to provide methods of eradication should they secure a foothold, and to authorize certain agencies to adopt rules and regulations for the enforcement of the quarantine provisions. There seem to be conflicting clauses in these two acts, and their phraseology taken together is somewhat confusing. The act of 1899, for example, provides in section 4 that "Any trees, shrubs. found infested with any species of injurious insects not existing in the orchards, vineyards, gardens or farms of California shall be immediately sent out of the State or destroyed at the option of the owner." The act of 1911, known as the "State Commission Law," makes no distinction in the methods of handling infestations new to the State, as against insects brought over the border of species already established in the State. However, as there is nothing in the latter act preventing the immediate reshipment or destruction of new infestations authorized by the former, the provisions of the older act should prevail in cases of that character and no disinfection be given to foreign pests, except such as is necessary to lessen the danger while the quarantined articles are retraversing the State on their way out. The act of 1911 is intended to be a complete scheme to provide quarantine protection to our horticultural industries, and should be the basis for all quarantine procedure of a general nature. For handling most of the individual cases likely to occur attention is called to the provisions of the "State Quarantine Law" (1899) relating to marking incoming packages and holding the same by the carriers; to the provisions of section 4 of this law; to the statutory quarantine against peach yellows, rosette and certain animals detrimental to horticultural and agricultural interests. These are useful supplements to the main law, and both acts should be carefully studied together by the officials charged with their execution. State Quarantine Guardians. An act approved by Governor Stoneman March 13, 1883, created the State Board of Horticulture, consisting of nine members, one each from the seven districts designated by the measure and two from the State at large. The act empowered the board to appoint an officer known as Inspector of Fruit Pests. This official, in cases of emergency, and the board during its sessions were given the authority to appoint quarantine guardians who were to receive not more than $2.00 per day to be paid by the owners of orchards and other places under quarantine regulations. The legislature of 1903 abolished the State Board of Horticulture, substituting therefor a law creating the State Commission of Horticulture as it now exists.
