of the announcements, the extent of new territory was less than in previousyears, except in western New England. In addition to the townships added tothe regulated area on account of the discovery of new infestations, all that partof Michigan not heretofore under restriction was included. Such action wastaken in order to simplify quarantine enforcement by utilizing the natural bar-rier of Lake Michigan against spread of infestation to the west. The cornborer had already reached the southern end of the lake.

A new corn borer law has been passed in Rhode Island, where the losses wereheavier last season than before, and clean-up campaigns there and in south-eastern Massachusetts are now under way in an effort to eliminate cornstalksbefore pupation takes place in May and June.

Quarantine enforcement measures during the quarter were confined largely tothe certification of shelled corn in the central and western parts of the areaand of perennial plants in eastern New England. This work will be shown intabular form in a later issue.

JAPANESE-BEETLE CONTROL

REGULATED AREA EXTENDED

Under a revision of the Japanese-beetle quarantine and regulations, effectiveFebruary 15, 1929, the regulated area was enlarged to include part of onecounty in the State of Maryland as well as certain new territory in Connecticut,Delaware, and Pennsylvania. An additional regulated area consisting of theDistrict of Columbia and part of the State of Virginia was also designated, butthe restrictions on the latter area relate only to the interstate movement ofnursery and ornamental stock, sand, soil, earth, peat, compost, and manureand do not affect the interstate movement of farm products.

The rapidity with which this insect has spread since its original discoveryin 1916 is indicated in Table 1, which was prepared by the Japanese-beetle-ctntrol office of the administration. In that table the figures from 1916 to1923 show the areas actually known to be infested. Beginning with 1924, thediscovery of isolated infestations at a distance from the center of infestationmade it necessary to include within the regulated area certain intervening andapparently noninfested territory. In 1927 and 1928, respectively, certain ofthe isolated points discovered were not covered by the Federal quarantine, butwere instead brought under State control as reported in the last issue of theServi(-e and Regulatory Announcements. These facts must be taken into con-,sideraition in interpreting the figures shown in the table.

discover the insect is, of course, a most hopeful indication of the ultimate suc-cessful termination of the eradication campaign.

The improvement or possible eradication in these regions, so far as they re-sultel from human activities, must be credited to field clean-up work and seedsterilization. No noncotton zones were established and cotton production hascontinued without interference. In the Arizona and New Mexico areas at theconclusion of cotton picking in the fall of 1927 the cotton plants were re-moved from the fields and destroyed, and the seed was sterilized as a part ofthe ginning process. In the west-central Texas area ginning had been practicallyfinished for the season when the infestations were found, but all seed producedin the area which had not already been crushed was either crushed or sterilizedunder Federal an(l State supervision during the spring of 1928. At the close ofthe season all gins and oil mills were thoroughly cleaned to destroy any seedwhich might harbor infestation.

The extent to which the infestation has varied from year to year in the ElPaso Valley where field-control measures and cottonseed-sterilization require-ments are in effect is shown by a series of annual observations taken on theIvey-Dale ranch. Each winter scouting is carried on on that property for 54man-days. The number of pink bollworms found by the scouts in that lengthof time by crop years is as follows: 1920, 5; 1921, 158; 1922, 74; 1923, 0; 1924,3; 1925, 252; 1926, 2; 1927, 12; 1928, 0. The variation in this vicinity appears tobe due to variation in weather conditions and irregularity in the applications oflocal clean-up measures. The valley has an elevation of over 3,500 feet and issubject to relatively early frosts.

QUARANTINE ENFORCEMENT

The supervisors of seed sterilization in cotton gins and of lint and winterfumigation report that 267,039 bales of cotton lint were ginned in the regulatedarea and 267.215 bales of lint and linters were fumigated from the beginning ofthe 1928 crop season to March 31, 1929. A synopsis of the work is, shown inTable 2. On March 31, 12 of the gins, 8 of the fumigation plants, and 9 of theoil mills shown in the table were still in operation. The others were beingcleaned under the supervision of Federal inspectors.

Fifteen road stations were operated to prevent the spread of the pink boll-wvorin an(l the Thurberia weevil at the localities in Texas, New Mexico, andArizona shown in previous announcements. At these stations 64,579 cars werestopped and inspected and over 25 per cent (16,386) were found to be carryingrestricted articles. Inspectors confiscated 100 picking sacks, 402 mattresses andpillows, seed cotton from 943 cars, and other articles from 50 cars. They passed4,151 picking sacks (after cleaning or treatment where necessary) and 56,521mattresses and pillows.

TEXAS PLANS TO COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR PINK-BOLLWORM LOSSES

PREVENTION OF SPREAD OF THE SATIN MOTH

The possibility of spreading the satin moth to new localities through theagency of shipments of pussy-willow twigs in transit from western Washingtonto Eastern States was indicated by the interception last year of a considerablequantity of such twigs at transit points.

The attention of Federal and State inspectors and postal employees wasdirected this season to the danger involved in such shipments, and a pressstatement (see p. 43) was issued for publication in newspapers in the infestedarea. As a result fewer such parcels were intercepted at the transit inspectionpoints than heretofore.

MEXICAN FRUIT-WORM ERADICATION

A close approach to completion of the campaign for the total elimination ofsumnner host-fruit trees is the mo.t important development in the Mexican fruit-worm area of Txas during the past three months. Of the nearly 37,000 peach,plum, guava, and similar trees present in Cameron, Hidalgo, and WillacyCounties in 1927, about 129 remained on March 31. This is a reduction ofabout 3,000 since January 1. The total absence of summer host-fruit treesthroughout this citrus-growifng area is expected to make impossible any estab-lishinent of thc Mexican fruit worm in the territory concerned o' to bring aboutits prompt exteriniation should it be reintroduced.

In addition to eliminating deciduous fruit during the spring and summer,the residents of the regulated area are required to remove all citrus fruit(except lemons and sour limes) from the trees at the beginning of the host-freeperiod. In 1928 that period was started on March 1, but in 1929 the seasonaldevelopment of the fruit was so retarded that the harvesting period was extendedto March 30 under an order issued by the administration on January 31. Themodification applies to this year oily, and is not expected to be repeated in1930.

By the close of the shipping season on March 30 the number of carloads offruit of the 1928-29 crop moved from the valley by freight totaled 1,671. Inaddition, 145,091 bushe's of grapefruit, oranges, and kumquatos were transportedfrom the regulated area in trucks, 7,777 bushels by passenger catrs, and eighty-onethousand one hundred awd seventy 80-pound boxes by express.

Permits were issued to 22 additional packers during the 3-month period,making a total of 269 for the season. These packers were issued 907.249 indi-vidnal-box shipping tags for the crop year ended oil March 30, and 13,028 addi-tional tags were issued to noncommercial shippers for the shipment of singleboxes of fruit.

At the road station near Encino, Tex., 15.950 vehicles were inspected, of which6,212 conta iined fruit. Vehicles intercepted carrying uncertified fruit or cullsn bmbered 2 trucks and 1,725 passenger cars. In order to be sure that contra-branid fruit was not being detoured via Laredo, an inspector was again stationedat Roia for a part of February, but no quarantine violations were observed.

Over 2,000 citrus groves a month are inspected in the valley, and from 97 to98 per cent continue to, be found free from weeds and fallen fruit. Certificates ofinslwction are withheld from the remainder until they are cleaned up in asatisfactory manner.

No fruit worms were found at any point in the regulated area of Texas duringthe 3-month period, although infested fruit continues to be found from lime toNine in the markets of Matamoros, Tainmulipas, Mexico.'

GRAIN-RUST CONTROL BY MEANS OF BARBERRY ERADICATION

A total of over 1,500,000 barberry bushes, including seedlings and sprouts,was destroyed in 1928 in the campaign to prevent black stem rust epidemicsin the grain-growing States, according to the annual report of the office incharge of that project.

This campaign is conducted by the Office of Cereal Crops and Diseases,Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the State colleges of agriculture. the State departments ofagriculture, and other agencies, in the 13 States of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana,Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, SouthDakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. That bureau and the States named areresponsible for all phases of the barberry-eradication project except theenforcement of the Federal quarantines against the interstate movement ofbarberry and Mahonia plants.

The Bureau of Plant Industry reports as follows concerning the status of thiswork on December 31, 1928:

During the calendar year 1928 approximately 10.5 counties [in Illinois, Michigan,Montana, and Ohio] were covered in the first survey, and approximately 15 countieswere surveyed a second time. Original bushes numbering 111,464 were found on 1,302properties and 112,080 original bushes were destroyed on 1,395 properties in all surveysduring the year. A total of 1,403,830 seedlings was found and a total of 1,404,230seedlings was destroyed in the first survey, second survey, and resurveys. A grand totalof 1,519,816 original bushes, sprouting bushes, and seedlings was found and a grand totalof 1,520,832 was destroyed.

In the 10 years of the campaign from April 1, 1918, to December 31, 1928, an areaequivalent to approximately 892 counties has been covered in the first survey of cities,towns, and farmsteads. Approximately 29 relatively unimportant counties remain to besurveyed a first time. These counties are in the southern part of Illinois and in thenorthern peninsula of Michigan.

Approximately 249.5 counties of the counties covered by first survey have been surveyeda second time. These comprise about 27 per cent of the total number of counties thatultimately will be covered by the first survey.

In all, 17,592,224 original bushes, sprouting bushes, and seedlings have been found,and 17,587,276 original bushes, sprouting bushes, and seedlings have been destroyed duringthe entire campaign.

WOODGATE RUST

The Woodgate rust was found on Scotch pine at Cazenovia, N. Y., in Decem-ber, 1928, and Notice of Quarantine No. 65 was accordingly amended, effectiveApril 1, 1929, adding Madison County, N. Y., to the area regulated on accountof this disease. The amendment is quoted in full on a later page. The knowninfected and regulated area now covers all that part of New York State northof and including Madison, Herkimer, Hamilton, and Essex Counties.

LARCH CANKER

Practically all the trees found to be infested with this disease are reportedby the Bureau of Plant Industry to have been destroyed. These included im-ported European larches, Japanese larches, native tamaracks, Douglas firs, andwestern yellow pines, growing in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The knowninfested properties numbered about 20, located in three different sections inthe vicinity of Groton and Ipswich, Mass., and Providence, R. I.

QUARANTINE AND OTHER OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

ASIATIC-BEETLE QUARANTINE (No. 66)

FIVE STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA QUARANTINED ON ACCOUNT OFTWO ASIATIC BEETLES

[Press notice]MAR-o 5, 1929.

Two Asiatic beetles related to the Japanese beetle are the subject of aquarantine promulgated March 2 by the Secretary of Agriculture. The areaquarantined comprises the vicinity of New Haven, Conn., the southern tip of

9

New York, including Long Island, all of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, andan outlying point involving the District of Columbia and the adjacent county ofArlington, Va. This quarantine is based on the pub-ic hearin- condu.:ted inWashington, September 24, 1928, and the details of regulation are basel onseveral subsequent conferences with officials and persons in interest of theStates concerned.

Following the hearing, the original determination by the department was tolimit the quarantine on account of these beetles substantially to the areaswhich had been determined as infested, and all announcement to that effectwas issued by the Secretary of Agriculture December 20, 1928. This announce-ment led to subsequent conferences with the department of State officials alndothers iii interest, and the submittal of official requ sts from the States of NewYork, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania that the area quarantined in these St atoSshould be enlarged to be conterminous with the area now covered under iiieJapaneso-beetle quarantine. The object of such enlar-ement of arca was togive a greater unrestricted field of operation for impornint nursery interests.The possibility that these pets may later prove to be more widely distributedthali the inspections and surveys up to this time Lave disclose id was also urgedas well as the consideration that the natural spread of these insect s wiull in-volve such annual extensions of the infested area as very materially to lessenthe benefits of a more strictly limited quarantine.

This request. togeth( r with the assumption of full responsibility vfr :heenlarged area by the appropriate officials of these States, necessarily wa ihedetermininL factor as to the extension of tho quarantie iniasmuch i; 1s Federalpowers are limited to restrictions oh int< rstate movement of the article c -cerned, alnl therefore, any enforeenwnt other than on State lines itiust be withState cooperation and under State police powers.

The regulations under the quarantine now promulgated on account of iheAsiatic beetles are in general of the same nature as those recently revisel aindproiulated on account of the Japanese bet tle. The important different is theelimnination from the Asiat ie-beetie quarantine of all control of farm produts.such elimination being deemed possible Onl account of the little. if ally, risk ofspread of the Asiatic beetles in the movement of such products. This limitsthe restrictions under this quarantine to nursery stock andl other plants forpropagation and to sand, soil, earth, peat, compost. and mianure. Sloeial ri ,kof artificial carriage and opportunity for wide mnoNv mcit r and spread of tlieAsiatic beetles is by carriage of the grubs either in the soil about plants or inother soil, manure, etc. The field elnftorcement Of this quairantine will be1 underthe same direction as the similar enforcement of the Japanee-btet he quara en liewith headquarters at Camden, N. J.

Two Asiatic beetles are coicerned in this (jilarantine. timely. -inwmalaOrien-lin and Aserica castaniica. for which lte commit tames art sugleste I,respectively, of the Asiatie beetle and the Asiatic gardeii beetle. A third Asiaticbeet JO, scrica Sinlilbi, was incl uded in the ice if Iie rin g but in tie ina1analysis the importance of this ii ect di( i appear t warrant quart iieaction It this time.

The necessity for this quarantine seems to be clearly indicated by the demon-strated capacity of these insects to cause continuing losses to all home andestate owners and damage to lawns of any type as well as the possibilities ofinjury to cultivated crops.

QUARANTINE ON ACCOUNT OF THE ASIATIC BEETLE AND THE ASIATIC GARDENBEETLE

NOTICE OF QUARANTINE No. 66

[Effective on and after March 15, 1929]

I, William M.

REGULATION 5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE MOVEMENT OF NURSERY AND ORNAMENTALSTOCK

Section A.-Controt of movement

Nursery and ornamental stock shall not be moved or allowed to be movedinterstate from the regulated areas into or through any point outside thereofunless a certificate 2 shall have been issued therefor by the inspector except asfollows:

(1) No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement of smooth bulbsof tulip, hyacinth, gladiolus, and narcissus' from the regulated areas to pointsoutside thereof.

(2) No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement of nursery andornamental stock imported from foreign countries when reshipped directly fromthe docks or freight yards of the port of entry in the original container andlabeled as to each container with a copy certificate of the country from whichit was exported, a statement of the general nature and quantity of the con-tents, the name and address of the consignee, and the country and localitywhere grown.

(3) No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement, between October16 1nd June 14, inclusive. of cut flowers, and portions of plants without rootsand incapable of propagation (such as branches and twigs of trees and shrubs,Christmas trees, holly. laurel, sphagnum moss, and dried portions of plantsfree from soil).

Section B.-Conditions of certificat on

For the purpose of certification of nursery and ornamental stock, nurseries,greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the movement of such stock willbe classified as follows:

(1) Class I.--Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in themovement of nursery and ornamental stock in which neither grubs in the soilnor beetles have been found, may be classified as Class I. Upon compliancewith the requirements of numbered paragraph (5) of this regulation nurseryand ornamental stock may be certified by the inspector for interstate shipmentfrom such premises to points outside the regulated areas without further in-s1ection and without meeting the safeguards prescribed as a condition of inter-state shipment of plants originating in nurseries or greenhouses of Class III.'

(2) Class III.-Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in themovement of nursery and ornamental stock on which either grubs in the soilor beetles have been found will be classified as Class III. Such classificationalso may be given to nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned inthe movement of nursery and ornamental stock in localities known to begenerally infested where beetles or grubs are found in the immediate proximityof such nurseries, etc., on adjacent property or properties. Upon compliancewith numbered paragraphs (4) and (6) of this regulation nursery and orna-mental stock may be certified by the inspector for interstate shipment fromsuch premises to points outside the regulated areas under any one of the fol-lowing conditions:

(a) That the roots shall be treated with carbon disulphide emulsion orby other approved means in manner and by method satisfactory to the inspector.

(b) In the case of plants in which the root system is such that a thoroughinspection may be ma(de, that the soil shall be entirely removed from the stockby washing or shaking.

(c) That it shall be shown by evidence satisfactory to the inspector that theplants eoncerneld were produced in a certified greenhouse. (See numberedparagraph (4) hereof.)

2As all the ireas quarantined on account of these beetles are included within the areaquarantimed on account of the Japanese beetle (see Notice of Quarantine No. 48, asrevised), a special form of certificate will be used, showing compliance with bothQuaran1t Iuines 48 ind 06.

3'The int rstate movement of narcissus bulbs is subject to the restrictions contained inthe rules and regulations supplemental to, Notice of Quarantine No. 62, Narcissus BulbQ uara itine.

4 Inder the lJapanese beetle quarantine provision is made for three classes of nurseries,and th(y are designated as Classes I, II, and III, respectively.

EUROPEAN CORN-BORER QUARANTINE (DOMESTIC) (No. 43)

EUROPEAN CORN-BORER QUARANTINE REGULATIONS EXTENDED TO NEW AREAS

[Press notice]

FEBRUARY 27, 1929.Under an amendment to the European corn-borer quarantine regulations

issued to-day by the Secretary of Agriculture, certain new territory, mainlythat found infested with this insect during the past season, is added to theregulated area, effective March 1, 1929. At the same time, the requirement ofcertification is discontinued with respect to packages of shelled corn weighing2 pounds or less.

The 2-generation area is enlarged to include 28 new towns in Middlesex, NewLondon, and Windham Counties, Conn.; 1 in Worcester County, Mass.; 4 inCumberland and Sagadahoc Counties, Me.; and 8 in Carroll, Cheshire, andGrafton Counties, N. H. Throughout this area inspection and certification willnow be required with respect to shelled corn (except in packages of 2 poundsor less), the cleaned seed of broomcorn and of sorghums and Sudan grass,celery, green beans in the pod, beets with tops, rhubarb, oat and rye straw assueh or when used as packing, cut flowers and entire plants of chrysanthemum,aster, cosmos, zinnia, hollyhock, gladiolus, and dahlia.

The additional territory in the 1-generation or western area is more exten-sive. It consists of 7 towns in Cheshire and Sullivan Counties, N. H.; all ofAddison, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, Rutland, and Windham Counties,and 35 towns in Bennington, Lamoille, Orleans, Washington, and WindsorCounties, Vt.; 66 towns in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and HampshireCounties, Mass.; 1 town in Hartford County, Conn.; all of Carbon, Miffin,Monroe, Pike, and Wayne Counties, and 31 towns in Columbia, Greene, Mon-tour, North umberland, and Schuylkill Counties, Pa.; 6 towns In Marshall

County, IV. Va.; 1:1 towlis in Belmont, Chlrke ' arko, Lair--Irl. iVetGreene, Guernsey, Madison, Miami, Montgomery, Mu-ki1111, IWi r, and I' rk-away Counties, Ohio; 60 towns in Delaware, Fultonl. Grant, lminson. .av,Kosciusko, Laporte, Marshall, Randolph, Starke, St. Joseph. and Welll -'unries,Ind.; and all of the heretofore unregulated portions of the Srte of Micliiun.

The requirements for the 1-generation area provide for the inspection andcertification of shelled co-n ( excelit in packaCs of 2 o 1r r : 3cleaned seed of broomneorn and of sorghun and Sudan grass only. as the strainof the borer found in that region does not atitack powers and ut Yh

The shipment of ear corn, cornstalks, and other parts and il(ri of corn,broomcorn, sorghum, and Sudan-grass plants from the regulated1 area to orthrough points outside thereof is prohibited.

The actual spread of the borer during the past year, except in R NewEngland States, has been less tatiu during previous seas ns. In In iana, how-ever, it has found its way west to the shore of Lake Michigan, and hnt fact,added to its spread in the Upper Peninsula of the State of Micigan, is thecause of the extension of the quarantine to cover that entire State.

MODIFICATION (IF EUROPEAN CORN-BORER QUARANTINE

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The amendment which follows modifies regulations 3 and 5 of the Europeancorn-borer quarantine by (1) adding certain territory to the regulated areas,and (2) discontinuing the requirement of certification with respect to packagesof shelled corn weighing 2 pounds or less.

Shippers are required to make application for inspection sufficiently in advanceof the probable date of shipment, and to clean all trucks, wagons, cars, boats,and other vehicles which have been used in transporting regulated articles beforethey are again moved interstate after such use. During the beetle-flight periodin the summer-that is, from June 15 to October 15, inclusive-farm products,nursery and ornamental stock, and sand, soil, earth, peat, compost, and manuremoving interstate are required to be screened, covered, or otherwise protectedto prevent infestation of these articles. This requirement applies to all auto-mobiles, trucks, wagons, cars, and boats hauling such articles from the regulatedarea to points outside.

Changes made in the regulations in the new revision include, in addition tothe extension of territory, a slight modification in the regulations affecting ClassIII nurseries and a new requirement whereby shippers of farm products fromNew York City are brought under the same certification regulations as thosewhich apply to the remainder of the main regulated area.

With respect to certain isolated points of Japanese-beetle spread, includingHagerstown, Frederick, Cambridge, and Delmar, Md.; Lewistown and Sayre,Pa.; Hartford and New London, Conn.; Springfield, Mass.; and Delmar, Del.,no Federal order has been issued. The Secretary of Agriculture approves thepolicy of treating these areas as separate control units, conditioned upon coop-eration by the States concerned acceptable to the department providing for(a) nursery control under State quarantines but with Federal supervisionand (b) the enforcement of clean-up operations to reduce or if possible as tocertain points to eradicate the pest.

The clean-up operations referred to consist of soil treatment of areas knownor believed to be infested with the larvae and the collection of beetles duringthe next summer by use of traps or by hand. The Secretary points out thatunder these controls the security against spread from such outlying points maybe even more satisfactory than in the general area under the Japanese-beetlequarantine. At the same time the benefit of active cooperation by the States,towns, and individuals concerned will be secured and the clean-up programmay be expected greatly to reduce the numbers of beetles and practically toeliminate the kind of spread which it is impossible to control with any largemeasure of success under quarantine regulations.

Copies of the quarantine and regulations may be secured by addressing thePlant Quarantine and Control Administration, United States Department ofAgriculture, Washington, D. C.

Section B.-Conditions of certification

For the purpose of certification of nursery and ornamental stock, nurseries,greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the movement of such stock willbe classified as follows:

(1) Class I.-Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in themovement of nursery and ornamental stock in districts included in theregulated areas but in which districts neither grubs in the soil nor beetleshave been found may be classified as Class I. Upon compliance with therequirements of section 6 of this regulation nursery and ornamental stock maybe certified by the inspector for interstate shipment from such premises topoints outside the regulated areas without further inspection and without meet-ing the safeguards prescribed as a condition of interstate shipment of plantsoriginating in nurseries or greenhouses of Classes II and III.

(2) Class II.-Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in themovement of nursery and ornamental stock in districts recently or scantilyinfested by the beetle, but in which nurseries or greenhouses no beetles havebeen found and in which it has not been possible to determine any soil invasionwill be classified as Class II. Upon compliance with the requirements of sec-tions (4) and (6) of this regulation nursery and ornamental stock may becertified by the inspector for interstate shipment from such premises to pointsoutside the regulated area upon determination that the stock concerned is freefrom infestation. Such determination may be made, either (a) by completeremoval of the soil from such stock; or (b) by inspection of the outside of thesoil ball and removal and inspection of the upper 4 inches of the soil therefrom;or (c) in the case of plants, (such as azaleas), which would be injured by suchremoval, by inspection and removal of the soil from 5 per cent of the plants andby intensive examination of the soil in the block concerned ; or (d) by evidencesatisfactory to the inspector that the plants concerned were produced in acertified greenhouse. (See see. 4 hereof.)

(3) Class III.-Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in themovement of nursery and ornamental stock on which either grubs in the soil orbeetles occur or located in districts known to be generally infested will beclassified as Class III. Upon compliance with sections (4) and (6) of thisregulation, nursery and ornamental stock may be certified by the inspector forinterstate shipment from such premises to points outside the regulated areaunder any one of the following conditions:

(a) That the roots shall be treated with carbon disulphide emulsion or byother approved means in manner and by method satisfactory to the inspector;or (b) in the case of plants in which the root system is such that a thoroughinspection may be made, that the soil shall be entirely removed from the stockby washing or shaking ; or (c) that it shall be shown by evidence satisfactory tothe inspector that the plants concerned were produced in a certified greenhouse.(See see. 4 hereof.)

In the case of nursery properties, consisting of separate units operated inde-pendently, such units nmy be considered for the purpose of rating in Class IIor Class III, as though they were independent nurseries, when in the judgmentof the inspector such action is warranted by the recent or scanty infestation ofthe district concerned, upon compliance with such conditions as the said inspectormay require.

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATION 6.QUARANTINE 48 (SIXTH REVISION), ON ACCOUNT OF THE JAPANESE BEETLE

FEBRUARY 21, 1929.

The purpose of this circular is to give a more definite and exact interpretationof procedure to be followed in the paragraphs concerned of regulation 6, Quar-antine 48 (sixth revision, effective February 15, 1929).

Under section Bi (3) the first sentence of the first paragraph is to be inter-preted for purposes of enforcement as follows:

" Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the movement ofnursery and ornamental stock on which either grubs in the soil or beetles havebeen found will be classified as Class III. Such classification also may begiven to nurseries, etc., in localities known to be generally infested where beetlesor grubs are found in the immediate proximity of such nurseries, etc., onadjacent property or properties."

The final paragraph of this section is to be interpreted for administrativepurposes as follows:

In the case of nursery proper-ties under single ownership and management,but represented by parcels of land widely separated, such parcels may be inde-penideiitly classified either as Class II or Class III upon compliance with suchconditions and safeguards as shall be required by the inspector. Similarly, unitnursery properties, which would otherwise fafl in Class III, may be open tosubdivision, for the purpose of rating such subdivisions in Classes II or III,when iii the judgment of the inspector such action is warranted by recent andscanty infestation linited to a portion of the nursery concerned: Procidcd, Thatthe subdivision containing the infestation shall be clearly marked by boundariesof a perm1anlent mn ture which shall be approximately 500 feet beyond the pointWhere the infestation Occurs.

Inasmuch as all nurseries, or suibdivisions thierieof, to be in Class II mustbe uninfested with beetles or grubs, the requirement of screening openings ingreenhouses and cold framiies in such nurseries as prescribed in regulation 6,section B (4), will be made optioiial with the nurseryman in question.

MEXICAN FRUIT-WORM QUARANTINE (No. 64)

HARVESTING PERIOD FOR GRAPEFRUIT, ORANGES, AND KUMQUATS IS EXTENDEDIN TEXAS AREA REGULATED ON ACCOUNT OF THE MEXICAN FRUIT WORM

[Press notice]JANUARY 31, 1929.

The United States Department of Agriculture announces that, under theauthority given in the regulations supplemental to the quarantine on accountof the Mexican fruit worm, the Plant Quarantine and Control Administrationhas approved the action of the State of Texas in fixing, for the present season,March 30 as the date on which grapefruit and certain other fruits must beremoved from the trees in the Mexican fruit-worm regulated territory. Thehost-free period prescribed in the regulations will begin on March 31, and nofruits susceptible to infestation by the Mexican fruit worm, such as grapefruits,oranges, kumquats, peaches, apples, guavas, and others, will be permitted todevelop in orchards or to exist elsewhere within the regulated area after thatdate.

The date fixed for this season is one month later than the beginning of thehost-free period in 1928. This change is made at the urgent request of orchardowners and other interests concerned, and was recommended by the StateDepartment of Agriculture of Texas. The grapefruit and oranges this seasonare ripening later than usual, due to rains occurring late in September andearly in October, with the result that not much more than half of the crop hasbeen moved out to date. The wholehearted cooperation of the residents in theregulated area has resulted in the practically complete elimination of secondaryhost-fruit trees, thus greatly reducing the possibility of any Mexican fruit-worminfestation becoming established.

PINK-BOLLWORM QUARANTINE (No. 52)

CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP OF PINK-ROLLWORIM AND THURBERIA-WEEVIL PROJECTS

JANUARY 10. 1929.

To fill a long-felt need of a special assi lant to the offiker in charge (I 1 theDivision of Foreign Plant Quarantines. ii order that closer conta( -t illay bemaintained with the ficld stations under that project, George G. Be'cker will, inthe near future, be transferre(l to Wa;hlingt on. Mr. Becker has been in cliaur-eof the field direction of the work under the piink-b llworn and Thurberia-wevilprojects since July 1, 1926. His former duties in colinection with tlee l>rojectshave to-day been assunied by R. E. MRcDonald.

Mr. McDonald was the State entomologist of Texas for a nuniber ()f years,and more recently was an agent of this administration. To 'Mr. Mel)oiald islargely due the credit for the whole-licatied coo elration which the State ofTexas has given to the departieiit's effort- to eradicate or control the pinkbollworm since the discovery of this pest in that State. His extended experielncewith cotton insects, his close association wilit this work in Texas during allthese years, and his familiarity with all phases of the project and wit1 thepast policies of the department peculiarly qualify him for the duties to whichhe has now been assigned.

On account of the practical impossibility of satisfactorilydetermining whether poplars and willows are free from infestation, the move-ment of these plants and cuttings from any of the infested areas into or throughany other State or territory of the United States is prohibited by the Federalquarantine.
