Scope and content
properly annihilate the said grasshopper germs and that their location and bodies would emerge from when the number of flowers begin to increase. As clearly stated in the decrees on this issue, which are referred to in the Sanjak Administrative Council’s decision dated 23 August 1898 and numbered 947, all farmers shall be obliged to collect grasshopper germs free of charge. It is thus appropriate to notify in reply that an official be appointed by the village council for the purpose of collecting and exterminating, when the time comes, the said germs by the nearby farmers. The 30th of Kânûn Awwal (1)314 (11th of January 1899).
