JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 19th day of September, 1921.

Present:

His Excellency The Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS by section nineteen (n) of the Stock Act, 1908 (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is provided that the Governor-General may from time to time by Order in Council make regulations generally for all or any such purposes as he may deem necessary for preventing the introduction of disease into New Zealand:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the twenty-ninth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, the infestation of stock by ticks of the family Ixodidae was declared a disease for the purposes of the said Act:

And whereas in the opinion of the Governor-General the introduction of grass-seed for sowing from the State of Queensland or from the district in the State of New South Wales at present forming, or which may hereafter form, the New South Wales tick-infestation quarantine area, may introduce the said disease into New Zealand:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby prohibit the introduction into New Zealand of grass seed grown in the State of Queensland or in the State of New South Wales:

Provided that any grass-seed grown in the State of New South Wales other than in the said New South Wales tick-infestation quarantine area may be imported into New Zealand subject to the condition that prior to shipment to the Dominion it has been subjected to treatment under cyanide fumigation for a period of not less than six hours, or to other fumigation in a manner approved of by the Minister:

Provided further that such grass-seed shall not be permitted to be introduced into New Zealand unless it is accompanied by a certificate from an officer of the Department of Agriculture of the State of New South Wales certifying that such grass-seed has been subjected to fumigation as hereinbefore mentioned.

And it is hereby declared that these regulations shall come into force on the date of publication of this Order in the New Zealand Gazette.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
