QUARANTINE AND OTHER OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE QUARANTINE (NO. 56)

ALL CHESTNUT AND ACORN IMPORTS PLACED UNDER PERMIT RESTRICTIONS

(Press notice)AUGUST 1, 1929.

R. W. Dunlap, Acting Secretary of Agriculture. has issued an order, effectiveSeptember 1, 1929, under which all chestnuts and acorns whatever their sourcemust be imported under permit and inspection. A similar order has beenin effect, but has applied only to acorns and chestnuts of European origin. Thecrder is intended to prevent the entry of living larvae of the European codlingmoth, chestnut weevils, and other injurious insects.

Under the permit regulations all shipments of acorns and chestnuts willbe inspected on arrival. If inspection reveals living injurious insects theshipment must be exported promptly unless provision has been made for disin-fection of shipments under conditions approved by the Plant Quarantine andControl Administration of the department.

Prospective importers of acorns and chestnuts may obtain copies of the ordersand requirements by communicating with the Plant Quarantine and ControlAdministration, Washington, D. C.

NOTICE OF PERMIT REQUIREMENT FOR ENTRY OF CHESTNUTS AND ACORNSFROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES

It has been determined by the Secretary of Agriculture that the method ofdrying, curing, or processing chestnuts and acorns in Europe, Asia, Africa,Mexico, Central and South America, and other foreign countries and localitiesdoes not entirely eliminate risk from the entry with such products of injuriousinsects, including the European codling moth (Carpocapsa splendana) andspecies of chestnut weevils (Balaninus spp.).

Notice is therefore hereby given that in accordance with the proviso to regu-lation 2 (as amended January 10, 1925) of the Rules and Regulations Supple-mental to Notice of Quarantine No. 56, all species and varieties of chestnutsand acorns may be imported from any of the foreign countries or localitiesabove mentioned, on and after September 1, 1929, only under permit and oncompliance with the safeguards prescribed therein.

This notice supersedes notices of September 22, 1926, and June 1, 1927.Done at the city of Washington this 29th day of July, 1929.Witness my hand and the seal of the United States Department of Agri-

JAPANESE-BEETLE QUARANTINE (NO. 48)

SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DISINFECTION OF NURSERYPRODUCTS FOR THE JAPANESE AND ASIATIC BEETLES

PQCA-239 JULY S. 1929-

TREATMENT OF SOIL WITH LEAD ARSENATE

Supplementing the instructions issued to administration inspectors on April16, 1929, (PQCA-224), the following treatments are authorized as a b if 4certification under the provisions of Notice of Quariantinle No. 4S Lregilati1n t:.section B (3) and (4)].

Tile evidence appears conclusive i1at lead atrsen1ate applied as herein pre-scribed is effective in eliminating Japanese iid Asiatic b et.Ce infestath. Nogeneral recominendation can be given at this time, however, a> to the jlntvarieties which can be grown without injury in soil so treated. Experimentalwork under way indicates that a large number of varieties can be gro\ii S'e-cesfully in such soil. In view of the limited number of experimenntl Iests

carried out on any one variety of plants, nurserymen who desire to substitutethis method on their own premni> cs il 1lace of other measures heretofore em-ployed, are to be advised that some hazard to the plants may be involved andthat the department and its employees can not be responsible for any injurywhich may result.

A. 4.-TREATMENT OF POTTiNi SOIL WITH LEAD ARsENATE

Material.-Powdered acid lead arsenate.

Conditions of the ,oll.-The soil to be treated must be in a friable conldi-tion; wet soil can not be treated satisfactorily. The treatment is recom-mended only for soils which are slightly acid or neutral in reaction.

Tumpcrature.-The soil after treatment must be maintained at a tempera-ture of at least 6 0 F. for a period of eight wv'. ks. If the treatment is appliedduring June or July the prevailing temperatures will meet this requirement.

Dosig.-Acid lead arsenate must be used at the rate of 2 pounds to eachcubic yard of soil.

Application to soil.-The lead arsenate must be uniformly mixed withi thesoil. This may be accomplished either by hand shovelling or by the use of amachine mixer, such as a concrete mixer.

Period of treatminit.-Eight weeks are necessary with the soil at a tempera-ture of at least 60* F. to insure that all the grubs are killed. Prior to certi-fication, the inspector must have deterinined that a soil temperature of notless thin 60* has been Iaint ained for a period of eight weeks.

tftorage of 8oil.-The soil must he st lred under conditions which will preventreinfestation or contamination with untreated soil.

E.-LEAD ARSENArE: FIELI) T'rEA'MEN T

Material.-Powdered acid lead arsenate.Coalition of the soil.-The si1 must be frinble and in good tilth. The lre. I

meant is recommended only for soils which are slight ly acid or neut-Al inreaction.

Season.-Where the trvatienit is to be used as a basis of certilicationl wtween October 15 and the following June 15, the arsenate must, for the 'vi-tn

of 1929, be applied before August 1. Beca use of Ii ff(er17! ees in ea a o i-tions it may, in other years, be neeessarv to molify tle ilme dat

Dosage.-Lead arsenate mnu'wt be applied t : le t ml J- 1.500 Iok(tL t' tleacre, which is equivalent of )5 poundt to Lo'10 fouore .e.

134 PLAN T QUARANTINE AND CONTROL ADMINISTRATION [July-Sept.,

Application. (1) Plants growing in rows.-Cultivate the soil thoroughly,working it away from the plants, breaking out all middles. remove at least2 inches of soil from about the base of the plants. The application may bebroadcast or applied with a suitable fertilizer distributor or lime drill. It isessential that the application is uniform over the entire surface of the ground.The soil must then be cultivated so that the lead arsenate is uniformly mixedwith the soil to a depth of at least 3 inches. The cultivator should be adjustedto throw the soil toward the rows and to obtain at least 3 inches of poisonedsoil at the base of the plants. In order to secure the thorough distributiondesired. the soil in the rows must be hoed by hand after cultivation.

(2) Individual plants.-The treatment of individual plants is essentially ahand operation. The soil must be treated in a manner to obtain the sameconditions as are required for trees planted in rows. The area to be treatedmust never be less than 10 feet in diameter and must be at least 6 feet greaterin diameter than the diameter of the soil ball to be removed with the tree.

Period of treatment.-Plants must not be dug for shipment before October 15.C. L. MARLATT,

FARM PRODUCTS RELEASED FROM JAPANESE-BEETLE QUARANTINE

(Press notice)SEPTEMBER 27, 1929.

All restrictions on the interstate movement of farm products in the areacovered by the Japanese-beetle quarantine have been removed by the PlantQuarantine and Control Administration, according to an order issued byR. W. Dunlap, Acting Secretary of Agriculture. Restrictions on the move-ment interstate of cut flowers will remain in force until, and including,October 15. Restrictions on the movement of nursery, ornamental, and green-house stock are in force throughout the year and are not affected by thisorder.

It was possible to remove control of farm products because investigationby the Department of Agriculture had determined that the active period ofthe Japanese beetle in its relation to farm products has already ended, makingsafe marketing and interstate transportation without restriction. The removalof restrictions would have taken place normally on October 16, under the termsof the Japanese-beetle quarantine orders. The relaxation refers to thisseason only, and restrictions will not be removed next year, the departmentsays, until investigators have determined that the danger period has cometo an end.

"The restrictions on the movement of farm products which are terminatedby this order," said Mr. Dunlap, "are intended to be in force only duringthe period when the beetle is abundantly present and in active flight. Thereis no risk from the movement of such products after this period has ter-minated. The inspectors, however, are still finding beetles in cut flowers andthe quarantine is maintained for them."

REMOVAL OF JAPANESE-BEETLE QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS ON THEINTERSTATE MOVEMENT OF FARM PRODUCTS

Having determined that the active period of the Japanese beetle in itsrelation to farm products has already ceased for the present season and thatit Is, therefore, safe to permit the unrestricted movement of the farm productslisted in regulation 5 of the rules and regulations (seventh revision) supple-mental to Notice of Quarantine No. 48 from the regulated area as definedin regulation 3 of said revised rules and regulations, it is ordered that allrestrictions on the interstate movement of the articles referred to above arehereby removed on and after September 25, 1929. This order advances thetermination of the restrictions as to farm products provided for in regulation5 from October 10 to September 25, 1929, and applies to this season only.

SECRETARY HYDE SUGGESTS FLORIDA CITRUS MAY BE MADE SAFE FORSHIPMENT

(Press notice)JULY 19, 1929.

The Secretary of Agriculture stated July 18 that the research work whichhas been intensively prosecuted in Florida on methods of destruction of theMediterranean fruit fly in fruit indicates the possibility that, by modificationof existing practices in precooling and coloring, fruit may be made safe forshipment.

The Secretary also announced that there is reason to believe that the devel-opment of these methods as a supplement to the other suppressive measuresnow in force will make possible the movement of the citrus crop of this yearwithout exposing additional areas to risk of infestation. He emphasized that,while this will involve a distinct modification of present restrictions on themovement of citrus fruit from all zones, and will avoid the general destruc-tion of fruit in zone 1, it is believed that it will aid the eradication effort bythe relief it will afford to the present acute economic situation, and by makingit more possible for growers to continue full cooperation.

This action is recommended by the experts recently sent to Florida to studythe situation and by C. L. Marlatt, Chief, Plant Quarantine and Control Ad-ministration. The experts are: Vernon Kellogg, Permanent Secretary, NationalResearch Council, Washington, D. C.; H. A. Morgan, President, Universityof Tennessee; T. P. Cooper, Dean, College of Agriculture, Director of ExtensionWork, Lexington, Kentucky; Victor R.

REPORT ON FRUIT-FLY ERADICATION MADE TO SECRETARY HYDE

JULY 19, 1929.Hon. ARTHUR M. HYDE,

Secretary of Agriculture,Washington, D. C.

DEAR MR. SECRETARY: The committee of seven, appointed by you to make" careful studies of the present status and possibilities for eradication of theMediterranean fruit fly, also to study the desirability of the maintenance orexpansion of the present program, or alternative possibility of commercial con-trol," reports as follows:

ECoNOMIC BACKGROUND

The economic situation of Florida, the immediate future of the State, isdefinitely and intimately related to the policy which may be adopted in rela-tioii to the Mediterranean fruit fly. The region involved in the infestation is34 per cent of the land area of Florida. It contains 72 per cent of the bearingcitrus trees, and based upon a 3-year average, 80 per cent of the carload ship-ments of citrus fruit originates in this area. The annual income from the citruscrop and from other host crops which may be affected by the fly is upward of$60,000,000. A capital investment for the same crops exceeding $300,000,000 is

19291 SERVICE AND PEGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 137

threatened. Industries dependent upon citrus fruit represent an annual incomeof approximately $52,000.000. Agriculture, of which the citrus and kindredindustries represent the larger part, is the economic foundation of the State.From one quarter to one-third of the income accruing to the State, other thanthat pertaining to the tourist trade, may be attributed to agriculture. Thepermanence of the home and the adequate support of the families of 40 percent of the rural farm population of Florida is threatened by the fly. Theincome for the State for the purpose of government is largely affected by theconditions of the citrus industry and its kindred commercial, transportation.and industrial development.

III the event the fruit fly should escape from Florida, infesting the regionsof the South an(l West, capital values invested in properties producinlg sus-ceptible fruits aggregating $1,800,000,000 and producing annual i comes of$240,000,000, are threatened. Infestation by the fly would bring chaos to manyagricultural regions of the South and West. Their interest in the Policywhich may be adopted with relation to the fruit fly is even greater than thatof Florida.

The consumers of the United States, likewise, are affected. An infestationof the Mediterranean fruit 1iY may affect t he reduction of susceptible productsby 25 or even 50 per cent. It is estimated that a reduction n in the pro(luctioiof susceptible fruit by 20 per cent will increase the cost of fruit to the con-sumer by approximately 24 per cent. In addition the consumer is alsodirectly interested by the fact that the industry or trade with which ihe iiybe comnected will be affected by the spread of the fruit fly.

The cost of commercial control measures land of (quarantiies, shoiuild the flyescape to other regions, would involve ai 2mioiUnt diflicult to estimai te, butundloubtedly greater thin the sum required for erfldication. Ihliis cwst wll(lfall upon the National Treasury, the States involved antid upoln iiuelolwUsindividuals.

This brief statement of the economic background evi lei es tihe m it i:nalinterests that are involved. The fact that the citrus' industry of Florida fur-nishes approximately 40.000 cars of citru< fruit t the railroads is an indica-tion of the widesprel ecinmnomic effect tlat general infestation W()111It in \lvIye.

ERADICATION OR CONTROL

Basing its judgment 0n careful observation, the results of rese;rebh, ni1d theprogress toward eradication that has been made in the past tIlree m nthis, lecommittee considers eradication practicable under present known ciiditions.This will require vigorous efotrt, large a P liiionls to preselit force's, fearlessaction, mainteniance of Ile full cooperation of Florida citizens, nd anjle fuulspromptly available.

PROGRESS MADE IN ERADICATION

In spite of the fact that the area considered as infested has shown accessions,the progress toward eradication has been rapid. Centers of infestation havebeen so thoroughly cleaned. and sources of infestation removed, that in theinfested zone it is difficult to find any of the stages of the Mediterraneanfruit fly. At the beginning of the campaign flies were numerous, easily found,and existed in great numbers at points of infestation. Measurement of progressis difficult. But the committee has been impressed with the rapidity of theclean-up work, the effectiveness of the poison spray campaign. the progress ofinspection and its increasing thoroughness. Upon every side there is foundevidence of increasing efficiency, and conviction upon the part of those in chargethat they are making progress. A description of the physical equipment and ofthe methods used in carrying on the eradication program would be interest-ing but appears unnecessary in this report.

Representatives of organizations. citizens, joint committee of the FloridaLegislature, and the Plant Quarantine Board as well as members of the staffof the Federal and State organization cooperating in this work were examinedby the committee. We were impressed by the solidarity of purpose.

No intimation was apparent of lack of confidence in a program of extermi-nation. Desire was expressed to bring about eradication and willingness tocontinue the work until brought to a successful conclusion was evidencedby every individual or organization represented.

Respectfully submitted.VERNON KELLOGG,T. P. HEADLEE.V. R. GARDNER,H. J. QUAYLE,T. P. COOPER.G. A. DEAN,H. A. MORGAN, Chairman.

Committee.

REvIsED PROGRAM OF WORK To ERADICATE THE MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY

(1) Inspection to (determ in e sprCead.-Prompt provision should be made forinspection, adequate to determine the spread of the fly not only in Floridabut possibly in other States. This will mean considerable enlargement ofpresent inspection forces.

(2) Host fruits and vegetable certiflcation.-Adequate provision should bemade for the certification of all movement of host fruits or vegetables pro-duced in any State or portion thereof invaded by the fruit fly.

(3) Removal of minor host plants.-As absolutely essential to the eradica-tion object provision should be made under State regulation for the grubbingup or cutting down and removal-in other words complete elimination-ofhost plants of minor commercial importance the object being to maintain, forthe protection of the principal crop in each area, a nonhost or starvationperiod during the interim of the maturing of such crop.

MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT-FLY (UARANTINE REVISED

(Press notice)

The Secretary (If Agricult Ire is"utd t'-day a tIlcrnl r(0viil of Ahc .\Ili-

the Ihiiditit 1 lt Lur hi I h tl ida i lc'e t ii Jit r 'l* i id I hirrestricted arti idas ma v o1w ll\cidt c t t uin t hr ttin thippin' it.

and ve-etables over considerable areas surrounding the infestation will bediscontinued. This change of policy is made possible as a result both of theintensive eradication effort in Florida of the last four months and the deter-milnation of methods of sterilizing citrus and other host fruits which are be-lieved to eliminate risk of carrying infestation. Such movement will befurther safeguarded for the present by control of distribution. With thedevelopment of adequate facilities for the commercial application of thesemethods of sterilization it is expected that a broader field than that nowauthorized will be open for the marketing of Florida host fruits and vege-tables.

In large measure the revision of the regulations follows the recommenda-tions of the advisory committee of specialists appointed by the Secretary toinvestigate the fruit-fly situation in Florida. The committee's report, whichw-s published on July 19, recommended the continuation and expansion ofthe eradication program and the authorization of shipment of the Floridacitrus crop under methods of sterilization which recent research work by thedepartment had indicated, in the belief of the committee, to be effective andeconomic-illy feasible.

Two methods of sterilization are now available, namely. (1) the maintenanceof a temperature of 1100 F. (inside the fruit) for eight hours under an airhumidity of 90 per cent, and (2) precooling the fruit to a temperature of 280(inside the fruit) for five hours and then holding it at 300 for five days.As to these methods, the department announces that while they have givenevery promise of being commercially practicable, the final judgment as to theircomplete availability must necessarily await the demonstration which can bemade only when the crop now developing begins to be moved. . In the mean-time, the Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with all available agencies-grower, packer, and carrier-is continuing the experimentation on a largerscale so that if possible the benefit of such control can be made more generallyavailable before the heavy shipping season opens. It is appreciated also thatit may not be possible for all packing houses or other establishments to makethe changes and installations necessary for such sterilization by the beginningof the crop season.

Pending such determinations and adjustments, provision has been made in theregulations for movement of host fruits and vegetables under safeguards similarto those hitherto required, namely, restrictions as to destination areas. Ingeneral the restrictions provided for on the movement of host fruits and vege-tables from Florida are as follows:

Sterilization is required as to all fruit produced within a mile of points atwhich infestation has been, or is hereafter, determined. Such sterilized fruitmay he authorized movement anywhere in the United States other than intothe States of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho,Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon,South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington, or the Territory ofPorto Rico.

Sterilized fruit produced in eradication areas (substantially equivalent toinfested and protective zones as hitherto designated) may likewise be author-ized to move under permit anywhere in the United States, other than into theSouthern and Western States and Territory named. Unsterilized fruit, otherthan as to any portion of the eradication area designated as infested, may be

itliorized movement only to the District of Columbia, including PotomacYn rds in Virginia, and to destinations in the States of Maryland, Pennsyl-vaiina, and States north and east thereof, including shipments to foreign coun-tries by way of any of such States.

It is aiticip)ted that a strong effort will be made by organizations and per-sons inl interest in Florida to give preference. in any aid which may be obtainedfroi the Feierl FaHie Iord or otherwise, for the financing of packing-bonse adjustmiets necessary for such sterilization, in the first instance to

Vr';sI in wlicil infestations Ihs at any time been determined, and thereafter inthlwir puri'limns of 1lie erndication :irea or areas.

(7) Jntrastate m ovement.-The intrastate movement of all restricted articleswithin an infested State shall be brought under such control as shall in thejudgment of the United States Department of Agriculture be consistent with theeradication object of these regulations.

(8) Eradication of infestation.'--Upon the determination of an infestationin an established eradication area or in any portion of an infested State outsideof such areas the following action shall be taken:

(a) If the infestation is in an eradication area, there shall be an immediatesuspension of all operations on the infested properties and on all propertieswithin 1 mile thereof, and an intensivs survey shall be made within and aroundthe infested property or properties to determine the extent and degree ofinfestation. If the infestation is generally distributed throughout any prop-erty, the host fruits and vegetables remaining in and, so far as obtainable,distributed or moved from the property, shall be promptly destroyed. If, byintensive inspection, the infestation is determined to be confined to a limited.part of the property concerned, the host fruits or vegetables remaining in orwhich have been moved from such portion shall be destroyed. Subject to thedetermination that all risks can be fully safeguarded, the inspector mayauthorize the immediate utilization by processing (canning, freezing, etc.) ofthe host fruits and vegetables growing in or available from the uninfested por-tion of the property, conditioned on local availability of means for suchprocessing. Similarly if the infestation is so limited that in the judgment ofthe inspector all risks can be eliminated by the sterilization elsewhere pro-vided for in these regulations, sterilization and shipment may be authorized.Such authorization shall, however, be conditioned on the prompt clean-up anddestruction of all host fruits and vegetables in the infested portion of theproperty or properties concerned, and compliance with any other safeguard asto handling and distribution required by the inspector. Following the deter-mination of an infestation, an infested area shall be designated to include allthe properties within 1 mile of such infestation, and, if necessitated by theproximity of the infestation to the margin of an eradication area, such latterarea shall be extended to give a 10-mile safety zone around the infested prop-erty or properties.

(b) If the infestation is found outside of any established eradication area,the procedure indicated in (a) shall be followed with respect to infested prop-erties and to the establishment of an infested area, and in addition theretothere shall be established an eradication area surrounding such properties toinclude the area within at least 10 miles of the outside boundary of said prop-erties. Wherever proximity makes such action desirable or feasible, sucheradication area may be joined to and made a part of existing eradicationareas.

(9) Iwpcctio.-A system of inspection satisfactory to the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture shall be carried on throughout an infested State forthe prompt discovery of any infestation which may occur.

SECTION B. CONDITIONS REQUIRED OUTSIDE OF ERADICATION AREAS

(1) Of the restrictions enumerated under section A, paragraphs 5, 6, 7,8, and 9 shall apply to parts of an infested State outside of eradicationareas. Stehi outside areas shall, also, be subject to the requirements of regula-tliois 4 to 14, inclusive.

(2) The r\vesting and clean-up of commercial citrus plantings outside oferadicatlion ar"Ihs siall be completed throughout am infested State prior toApril 1, auid )I( ioveient fromn such areas will be permitted after that date

All conductor's manifests, memoranda, orbills of lading pertaining to such shipments shall be marked with thenumber of the permit, and with such instructions with respect to cleaningof said cars as shall be required."

Information 'with respect to the issuance of Federal permits may be ob-tained from the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration, Orlando, Fla.

There has been no change in the prohibition against the acceptance for mail-ing of host fruits and vegetables and, therefore, such articles may not be ac-cepted for mailing from the State of Florida.

Furthermore, the reshipment of host fruits and vegetables originating inFlorida is likewise prohibited from post offices in other States, as set forth inregulation 11 of the revised regulations which reads as follows:

"11. (a) Host fruits and vegetables which have originated in and beenmoved from an infested State shall not thereafter be reshipped or other-wise transported into or between the States of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,California, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico,North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,or Washington, or into the Territory of Porto Rico.

(b) Host fruits and vegetables which have originated in and beenmoved from an infested State into the area northeast of and includingPotomac Yards, Va., the District of Columbia, and the States of Marylandand Pennsylvania shall not thereafter be reshipped or otherwise trans-ported to points in the United States outside the said northeastern area.

" (c) No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement from non-infested States of articles other than host fruits and vegetables and rail-way cars and other vehicles and containers, unless such articles have beenmoved from an infested State in violation of the rules and regulationssupplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 68 or any amendment theretoor revision thereof."

The term "IHost fruits and vegetables" embraces: Fruits, vegetables, andgarden and orchard products of all kinds susceptible to infestation by theMediterranean fruit fly, namely, (1) all wild and cultivated fruits, exceptwatermelons, pineapples, strawberries, coconuts and other nuts; (2) the follow-ing kinds of vegetables: Peppers of all kinds, tomatoes, Lima and broad (fava)beans, and eggplants; together with any other fruits or vegetables or otherplant products which later may be determined as susceptible and of which duenotice will be given.

FRUIT FLY TO BE STUDIED IN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN

(Press notice)

AuGuST 26, 1929.The Department of Agriculture announces that a survey of the fruit-fly

situation in the countries bordering the Mediterranean is to be undertakenimmediately. H. J. Quayle, Professor of Entomology, University of California,and Entoniologist of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, has beenselected for this work.

Mr. Quayle was recently drafted by the Secretary of Agriculture to be oneof a special committee to make a study of the fruit-fly situation in Florida.He is especially equipped for this new detail on account of personal studieswhich lie has made of the Mediterranean fruit-fly in different parts of theworld, mcinuding a rather extended study in the Mediterranean region somesixteen years 1go for this department, the results of which were published ina Department Bulletin of the Bureau of Entomology.

The present survey is made possible through the cooperation of AllisonV. A rmour, of New York, a wealthy patron of science and a collaborator ofthe department, who has for several years been giving substantial aid tovarioUs research projects, for the department and otherwise, by makingavailable a vessel which he has had especially equipped for biological or other

19291 S ETIICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 153

scientific and technical survey work. Mr. Armour, in making this proposalto C. L. Marlatt. Chief of the Plant Quarantine and Control Athninistration,stated that he wished to make this his contribution to the fruity rIoa licationcampaign.

It was at once recognized that a boat so equippIed fool'i lU siudly onboard, of collected material, and affording meais for prom 't nio\-eint frontplace to place, was an exceptional opportUnfity to get very ih neede infor-mation in a relatively short time. Mr. Quayle w.s promptly iotiliel andaccepted Mr. Armour's offer without hesitation. Ile has b eeIn appointed anagent of the department and the expedition will be es-eintially under thedirection of the department and for its benefit. The cost of the expedition.with the exception of the salary of the research agent, will be defrayed byMr. Armour in so far as the facilities of his boat can be utilized. To enablethe acceptance by 'Mr. Quayle of this offer, his approaehin - sbhatical yearhas been advanced some months by the authorities of the liiversay f (ali-fornia. MNr. Armour will accompany MNr. Quayle and particiaize in the workin every way possible. It is his intention to sehelule all lnooeients in theinterest of the research object. This exploration, together with others ofsimilar nature which 'Mr. Armour has hitherto facilitated, s(ts a must prl ise-worthy example of the diverting of a natural interest anil means of gratifyingit to useful research objects. The Utowana, Mr. Armour's especially equippedresearch vessel, left its home port, New London, Conn., Saturday, August 24,for Bermuda.

The program includes a brief study of the fruit-fly situation in the BermudaIslands and continued at the Azores, with the main work, however. beginilingwith the important citrus area on the Mlediterranean coast of Spain enterinmrat Valencia. Other MIediterranean countries will bei ;tken ip) in successionwith stops at important points as long as may be nece'ISry to cre tle-desired inforination. It is expected that this stage of thc0 work will occupymost of the balance of this year. During the winter months it is probable tlhtMr. Quayle will be authorized to carry his studies to South Afri<:a to coverfruit-fly economics and behavior in that section during, the fruit-ha rest ingmonths of January, February, and March. The program will e, mcmltide wit h areturn to the Mediterranean section in April to complete during the spring antearly summer months the seasonal recond of the Ily in thin -eerz1aI re-ion.

As a result of this work it is expected that infor tiuio wil he ob;t1 inedas to the behavior of this insect under hie climiatic ailotir t ei' c t .(m lill,",factors obtaining in such countries, and also that accurate iiim'>r atiu will besecured as to the crop losses occasioned by this post miiid t!) t-', :'.,:Ils ofdefense which are being employed to lessen such losses.

To make it possible to take immediate or early advantage of the widermovement authorized under such treatment pending the development of ade-quate facilities within the eradication area and other parts of the State, suchtreatment is now authorized either in Florida, or, in designated cold storagesapproved by the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration in the Districtof Columbia or the States of Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts,New York, Pennsylvania. and such other Northern States as may later be ap-proved.

It should be understood that sterilization is not being considered as a meansof authorizing movement of infested fruit. All infested fruit will be promptlydestroyed. The requirement of sterilization therefore applies to areas believedto be entirely free from the pest with the object of eliminating any residual ofrisk, even after intensive inspection.

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS-STERILIZATION OF CITRUS FRUITS UNDERMEDITERRANEAN FRUIT-FLY REGULATIONS

(Approved September 19, 1929 ; effective September 20, 1929)

PQCA-246Notice of the revision of the Mediterranean fruit-fly quarantine, No. 68, ef-

fective September 1, 1929, requires in paragraph (5) of regulation 3, the sterili-zation of host fruits and vegetables produced within an infested State. Itshould be understood that sterilization is not being considered as a means ofauthorizing movement of infested fruit. All infested fruit will be promptly de-stroyed. The requirement of sterilization therefore applies to areas believed tobe entirely free from the pest with the object of eliminating any residual ofrisk, even after intensive inspection. In issuing the revised regulations, it wasrealized that the general adoption of sterilization would involve time for thefull commercial application of methods and for necessary adjustments. Pendingsuch determinations and adjustments, provision has been made in the regula-tions for movement under certain destination limitations. The tests and demon-strations necessary to place sterilization on a sound commercial basis have beenand are being pushed to the utmost and have reached such a stage of progressas to make it possible to issue an order authorizing at least one type of steriliza-tion, namely, by refrigeration. The purpose of this circular is to give suchauthorization and the necessary information relative to such refrigeration.

The probable availability of two methods of sterilization of fruits and vege-tables had been worked out as a result of investigations conducted by the de-partment between May and August. Thls work has shown (1) that a tempera-ture of 280 F. for 5 hours followed by holding for about 5 days at 300, or (2)that a temperature of 1100 for 8 hours, are fatal to the eggs or larve of theMediterranean fruit fly. Both the maximum and minimum temperatures re-ferred to can be obtained by modification of the existing practices in the han-dling of citrus fruits.

Tests on refrigeration have now been conducted on a sufflently large scaleto demonstrate that the required low temperature can be given without injuryto 1le fruit and that this method is commercially practicable. The experi-mental tests with heat, while indicating the probable availability of this method,have not yet been conducted on a sufficiently large scale to fully demonstrateconiti-iail practicability but it is hoped that in the very near future steriliza-tion by this method can receive the full endorsement of the department.

The following method of sterilizing citrus fruit is authorized:Cooling until the approximate center of the fruit reaches a temperature of

280 F. anid holding2 Ihe fruit at that temperature 5 hours ; then raising thetemperature of the fr lit not higher than 300 and holding until a total period of5 days is elaipsed from the time the temperature of the approximate centerof lie fruit reached 280.

1929] SERVICE AND PEGULATOIY ANNOUNCEMENTS 161

To make it possible to take immediate or early advantage of the wider move-ment authorized under such treatment pending the development of adequatefacilities within the eradication area and other parts of the State, such treat-ment is now authorized either in Floridat. or. in designiated cold storage ap-proved by the Plant Quarantine and Control Adininistration in the District ofColum1bia or tle States (it Kefitucky. oli uri, Ohlio, Ilhliinis, M\lassachllsetts,New York, Pennsylvania, and such other Northern States as may later be ap-proved. Fruit to be treated at localities outside of Florida must be graded,packed in standard commercial containers and shipped under special permitsissued by the Plant Q(uaraiitiie and ('oitrol Admninisiration. Such perniit> willauthorize movement only under ice in retrierated cars and to designated coldstorages.

To provide necessary safegniards for movement to and handling at approvedcold storages, those concelrns desiliia ted to sterilize fruit at point s out i lde theinfested state will. prior to such designation, be requi re(i to file an iiatin

necessary, in calculating the average amount of refrigeration required, to pro-vide for lowering the temperature at least 220. There are 360 boxes of fruitto a car and each box weighs about 90 pounds. The specific heat of citrusfruit is usually considered to be 0.9.

Fruit should be moved directly from the car to the rooms in which it is tobe sterilized. I In order to get the most rapid cooling, fruit should be stackedin the room so as to allow good air circulation between the boxes. Whileno careful experimentation has been carried on, in the tests which have beenrun it has been possible to reach the required temperature when the boxes werestacked on the side in solid rows with air passages of 4 to 6 inches between therows and with dunnage between the boxes. In some of these tests the fruithas been stacked four or five crates high and when overhead coils were usedabout as good results were obtained as when the fruit was in smaller stacks.Under some conditions-for example, where there is a rapid movement of airacross the room-it might be well to stack boxes on end with air spaces betweenthe stacks, thus permitting the air to penetrate into the pile.

With experimental lots, fruits stacked four high on the side with air spacesbetween each stack has been cooled down to a temperature of 2S* F. in about48 hours. These were small lots, however, containing in most cases not morethan 20 to 40 boxes.

The treatment required in administrative instructions on sterilization pro-vides that the fruit shall be cooled until the approximate center reaches 28' F.and that the fruit shall be held at that temperature for five hours. It providesfor the raising of the temperature not higher than 300 and holding until atotal period of five days has elapsed from the time the temperature of theapproximate center of the fruit reaches 280. It is expected that during steri-lization the change in the temperature of the fruit will be gradual. An abruptchange between 280 and 300 is not required.

The instructions on sterilization provide that it will be done under the super-vision of representatives of the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration.These inspectors should at all times be given access to fruit while in processof sterilization. They will supervise the movement of the fruit from the carto and from the sterilizing rooms. Following the satisfactory completion ofsterilization in the manner prescribed in the administrative instructions, in-spectors will issue permits which will authorize the further movement of thefruit and its distribution for sale.

Shipments of fruit for sterilization. either at receiving points or at designatedcold storages where the storage-in-transit provisions apply, will begin movingvery shortly. Some of the fruit which can be distributed only after steriliza-tion is now mature and it is probable that fruit requiring sterilization will bemoved in considerable volume by the second or third week in October. If fruitis sterilized by the cold storage method only, there will be approximately15,000 cars of fruit requiring sterilization which, with the present facilities,can not be handled in the State of Florida. To comply with the presentrequirements of the Federal quarantine, all citrus fruit produced in any partof tie State must be removed from the trees by Aril 1. 1930. Under theregulations the entire crop will have to be handled in a period of approximatelyfive and one-half months. Because of the necessity of removing the fruit priorto April 1. there will undoubtedly be considerable storage of fruit at the endof the season in order to meet spring and summer trade which has heretoforeusually been suIpplied by fruit direct fromi the trees.

Wden storages have been desig1ated, it seems reasoniably certain that thepro(lcers will make arranlgem1ients to liandle by sterilization a regular volumeof frui it through certa in desigited pllants. This, however, is a matter forneg itia Iion betVeln the sh ippers and the cold storages.

Experimiten ral lots of fruit, ammounting to 5 or G ca rloods in all are undertreatment at the present time, part in Florida and l)art in northern mar-Lets-New York and Washington. As soon as the tests have been completedanid dleinite results obtaineld on the t ime necessary to reach the required mini-mum temhpoerIa ture and complete the treatment, such information will be madeavailable. The subsequent sateient will also include information as to theeffect of the treatment on the fruit.

166 PLANT QUJArANTINE AND CONTrOL ADMINISTRATION [July-Sept.,

Bureau of Plant Industry has grown mahaleb seedlings each year for sevenyears in the vicinity of the District of Columbia that have compared favorablyeach year with imported stocks from commercial sources, in size and in the-growth obtained after transplanting. Similar results have been secured atthe Shafter, Calif., experiment station.

Most of the domestic mahaleb seedlings are grown from imported seed whichhas often failed to germinate well. This hazard can be reduced by better careof the seed during the interval between collection and planting, but perhapsthe most effective way is that adopted by a few western growers who haveplanted orchards for seed. These seed bearing trees are now producing com-mercial quantities and the amount may be expected to increase during the nextfew years. Growers estimate that by 1930 the crop should be 2,000 poundsof seed which should produce 2,500,000 seedlings. These growers estimate thatby the use of imported seed to supplement their own, that production couldbe increased to 7,000,000, provided they were assured of a demand. (Thisprospect for increased production is presented to indicate the growers' view-point, rather than as an estimate by the Bureau of Plant Industry.)

The performance of domestic mahaleb in the hands of nurserymen in differ-ent parts of the country has been variable. Reports of both good and poorresults have been received from different sections each year. West of theRocky Mountains a general preference exists for western-grown seedlings. Inother sections where cherry is propagated in large quantities on mahalebstocks the experience generally has not been so favorable.

An objection to domestic mahaleb seedlings which has been heard more oftenin the Eastern and Central States than in the West, is the uncertainty ofobtaining good stands when the seedlings are transplanted in the nursery forbudding. Losses in transplanting have been larger some years than others.For example, from the northwestern crop of 1926 reports of poor stands camefrom many nurserymen after transplanting in the spring of 1927. This cropwas probably injured by an exceptionally severe freeze in the early fall andthe damage to the seedlings could not be detected until after they had beenshipped to customers. On the other hand all the reports so far received thisspring from the 1928 crop indicate satisfactory stands. Besides unseasonablefreezes, losses may be traced to digging too early in the fall and improperstorage conditions. More study is needed on this phase in order to bring theperformance of mahaleb to the desired measure of dependability.

A second objection to domestic mahaleb arises from the low branching typeof growth which some lots have shown. This defect makes extra labor forpruning and some trouble in setting the buds properly, but such stocks canusually be budded successfully. In the past two seasons, the sample lots ofstocks received at the bureau's experiment nurseries have shown a smallerproportion of low branching seedlings than formerly. This defect is oftenfound where a poor stand in the seed rows allows the individual plants roomfor low lateral growth and is usually less in evidence where the stand isnormal.

Myrobalan is the principal stock used for plums in this country and the-only one imported in large quantity, although several thousand St. Julian(Prunus insititia) are brought in each year. A considerable proportion ofthe total supply has been grown in this country for several years. Importa-tions of the 1928 crop amounted to 916,700. The domestic crop for that yearwas estimated at 1,2G8,000. These seedlings were grown in the followingStates: Oregon, 425.000; California, 550,000; and Washington, 293,000; a totalof 1,268,000. Probably smaller quantities were grown in other sections notreported.

Myrohalan seed germinates well and the seedlings are easily grown. Agood supply of seed is available in certain sections of California, which isbeing ut iilized, although some myrobalan seed is imported.

The produIc(tion of mflyrobalan seedlings could be increased readily to meetall lleeds. Little loss in transplanting is experienced and the domestic seed-lings have usually proved satisfactory under ordinary methods of handling.Some lots have proved objectionable due to low braiching but this defect can,

e avoided by prol)er culture in the seedling nursery. As in the case ofmahnaileb, low branching is often the result of a thin stand in the seedling rows.

St. .Juilian, whichl is highly regarded as a plum stock by some growers, hasmostly beeii imlported but it could be propagated without difficulty in thelocalities where other seedling stocks are grown.

SETEm vL , 1929.PQCA-249

(Revision of H1B-105) 1 'Before taking up the specific subject of this circi r it Si 'ellms deir ble to

indicate briefly the necessity for the restrictions under Quai'rantine 17 in theentry of plants.

NCELsSITY FOR RESTRICTING THE ENTRY or P_\N-Ts

Imported nursery stock and other plants and seeds have been the source ofthe introduction of some 90 per cent of the insect pests and plant diseases whichhayve come to us from other countries an(l whic h iniw oIt)in ()I sl ,ragriculture and forestry of approximately one billion dollars ainna ll y. Hith-erlo such material has often come with the roots embedd(l li eartl, andpractically always it is promptly taken to tahe field or greenho iise wlwre otlerplants are growing. thus furnishing the best possible condition inl for Ith(' loralestablishment of any insect pests or plant diseases wI l 1ay Ibe c'lrri. bythe plants or in soil about their roots.

A practical test over a seven-year period of the pi ssihility if )afegnardigplant imports by inspection and disinfection plainly indicated lie inileiuaeyof this metho(l and the conclusion was forced that the only po0'sible means if

purpose oi keeping the country supplied with new varieties and necessaryprop2ating stock, or for any necessary experimental, educational. or scien-tific purpose.

Reg-ulation 15 recognizes the intimate trade relations between the UnitedStates and Canada and Mexico and provides, under permit and necessary safe-guard-s, for the importation of certain classes of plants the entry of whichfrom other foreign countries is restricted.

The few exceptions to entry of plants thus provided for are those involvedunder specific quarantines, as, for example, the prohibition of entry of Ribesand Grossularia from certain countries, and generally of citrus, bamboo,banana plants, etc. but any of the plants prohibited under such quarantinesmay be imported, under permit and adequate safeguards, by the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture for any necessary experimental, scientific, or intro-duction purpose.

PROVISION FOR THE ENTRY UNDER RIEGITLATION 14 OF THE RESTRICTED PLANTS

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS

As used in regulation 14, the terms " new varieties," " necessary propagatingstock," and " limited quantities " are defined in regulation 1 under the quaran-tine as follows:

New varieties.-A new variety is understood to mean a novelty, i. e., a newplant, variety, strain, type, or form, either recognized by the trade as such orso listed or described in catalogues, trade journals, or other publications, orduly and properly certified as such by the originator or introducer.

Necessary propagation stock.-Stock of old or standard varieties not avail-able in this country and imported for the multiplication of the plants inquestion as a nursery or florist enterprise as distinguished from importationsfor the immediate or ultimate sale of the stocks actually imported.

Limited quanititics.--As used in regulation 14, " limited quantities " is under-stood to mean such quantities as will supply any reasonable need for theestablishment of commercial reproduction plantings, or as may be necessary forthe experimental, educational, or scientific purpose intended.

IMPORTATIONS UNDER REGULATE ) N 14 LiuMITED To DEFINITE PURPoSEs

In furtherance of the object of Quarantine 37-i. e., to limit the number andvolume of importations of plants as the only effective means of excludingnew plant enemies--entry under regulation 14 of the restricted classes ofplants is limited to certain purposes or uses which are believed to be necessaryfor the development of American horticulture. These purposes are (1) to makeprovision for the propagation in the United States of the plants concerned,and (2) for any necessary experimental, educational, or scientific work.

INTRODUCTIONS FOR PROPAGATION

Any new variety of plant or any old or standzird variety not commerciallyavailable in this country may be imported by any person who will agree topropagate and increase the imported stock and thus render a public serviceby making the plants concerned more generally available. Under this agree-ment plants ipliorted will be required to be kept and utilized solely for pro-pagation, and are not sub 'ject to release except when either the natural orartificil ietliod of propagation involves the comlplete merging of the importedstock iito the increase. The conditions governing the release of the increasefrI im sucl p lits are explinied in Circular Il- 4, a copy of which will beflu nis hed u 14nt re nuest. Prior to sucli release to szile of the increase from theiiport( I slock will be permitted.

Thero is no limitation under regulation 14 as to the number of permits fordifferent plants or classes of plants which an individual may request, but priorto the issuance of the permits the varieties applied for will all be passed uponby specialists of the department, for the information of the administration bothis lo 1Ie 11ce(ssity for the particular importation and as to the quantity ade-uflite for the purpose intended. Plants thus imported will be restricted to the

youngest anid smallest plants, or to the portions of plants, that can accomplishthe purpose of the importation.

In the event that the authorized agencies, commercial or other, do not bringin varieties of plants which enthusiastic plant lovers may wish, the depart-ment has made special provision for the entry through its Office of ForeignPlant Introduction for ultimate public distribution of any neglected or over-looked new varieties. It may be noted that through the office mentioned theDepartment of Agriculture has developed a large organization to discover byexploration and to import plants for food, ornamental, or other useful purposesfrom all quarters of the world.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS FOR ENTRY OF RESTRICTED PLANTS

To recapitulate, the existing provisions for the entry of new or unavailableplants under regulation 14 include (1) importations for propagation; (2) im-portations by botanic gardens, experiment stations, and other public institu-tions; (3) importations by amateurs and others who are recognized as main-taining collections or conducting experiments which have an important publicservice quality; and (4) importations through the Office of Foreign PlantIntroduction of the Department of Agriculture.

The provisions indicated in this circular for the entry of restricted plantsare open to anyone for the purposes and under the conditions indicated. Tomeet the needs of persons wanting any of the restricted plants for their owngardens or for the adornment of their own estates-in other words, for purelypersonal use as distinguished from some definite public service-the depart-ment has endeavored, through the means discussed in this circular, to make,under methods which involve the least risk to the horticulture and agricultureof the country, all types of plants, new or old, available from home sources.

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING IMPORTATIONS UNDER REGULATION 14

Application blank.-The Plant Quarantine and Control Administration willsupply, on request, a form of application for special permit to import nurserystock and other plants and seeds under the provisions of regulation 14. Thisapplication, under " Conditions of Entry," explains the conditions of packing,inspection, and( clearance through the customhouse. It also embodies variousagreements which must be subscribed to by the importer to safeguard theimportation, including the liability agreement which replaces the bond for-merly required. The application must be filled out as to all the informationaldata called for and signed and forwarded to the Plant Quarantine and Con-trol Administration. The applicant should indicate whether the importation isintended (1) for propagation (paragraphs 14-17), or (2) for a public institu-tion (paragraphs 18-20), or (3) for a public-service purpose by an amateuror other (paragraphs 18, 20-24).

Perinit and shipping tags.-With the issuance of the permit, the applicantwill be furnished with shipping instructions and shipping tags to be forwardedwith his order to the exporter. With the exception of trans-Pacific shipmentsfor western destinations, such shipping tags will be addressed to the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture, Plant Quarantine and Control Administra-tion, Washington, D. C., but will be indorsed with the permit number and nameof the importer. Trans-Pacific shipments for all western points enteringthrough the port of San Francisco may be given inspection and clearance atthat port in the same manner as at Washington.

Delivery 10 admoinitraion.--Material coming to Washington must be turnedover to the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration by the importer orhis autliorize(l agent, and in the specially equipped inspection houses and underexpert care as to the welfare of the plants it will be carefully examined bythe administration's inspectors. If the shipment is found to comply with thecoilitions of entry, and to be free from dangerous insects or diseases, it willbe immediately repacked and forwarded, charges collect, to the importer.

Shipments for clearance at San Francisco will be similarly handled by theagents 44 1he administration, Ferry Building, San Francisco.

Disin/cctio.-]Disinfection will be autorized for slight infestation, butshould the material be found to be so infected or infested with either diseases orinsects that it can not be adequately disinfected it will either be destroyed or,when desired, permission may be granted for its exportation.

Storage and repacking.-So far as possible the administration will undertaketo provide for storage and repacking. Should importers request, however,permit covering the importation of larger quantities of propagating or other

cottonseed which may be contained therein, but that the seed itself is alreadygiven a heat treatment at the gins before it is shipped to the oil mill con-cerned. It is felt, therefore, says the department, that the present action doesnot involve risk of spread of pink-bollworm to points outside the regulatedareas.

MODIFICATION OF PINK-BOLLWORM QUARANTINE

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The amendment which follows modifies the pink-bollworm quarantine regu-lations with respect to the conditions under which second-cut linters originatingin the area regulated may be shipped from oil mills. Provision is made forthe issuance of permits for the interstate shipment of second-cut linters passedthrough a new type of roller equipment when the proper safeguards againstcontamination are provided. Regulation 5 (f) has been somewhat recast as toarrangement and wording.


AMENDMENT No. 4 TO RULES AND REGULATIONS SUPPLEMENTAL To NOTICE OFQUARANTINE No.'52 (REvISED)

(Approved September 30, 1929; effective October 1, 1929)

Under authority conferred by the plant quarantine act of August 20, 1912(37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of Congress approved March 4, 1917 (39Stat. 1134, 1165), it is ordered that section (f), regulation 5, of the rules andregulations supplemental to notice of quarantine No. 52 (revised) on accountof the pink-bollworm, which were promulgated July 9, 1927, be, and the sameis hereby, amended to read as follows:

(f) Cotton lint (except samples) may be authorized movement only whenbaled. Such baled cotton lint and such samples shall not be moved or allowedto be moved interstate from a regulated area except under permit. Permitsfor such movement will be granted on the furnishing of evidence satisfactoryto the inspector, (1) that such cotton lint (except samples) has been com-pressed to a density of not less than 22 pounds to the cubic foot, and (2) thatsuch cotton lint or samples have been disinfected under the direction of, and ina manner satisfactory to, the inspector. Cotton linters, delint, or grabbots,produced by any oil mill located outside the regulated areas but authorizedunder paragraph (c) hereof to crush cottonseed originating therein shall bereturned to the regulated areas for compression and disinfection and shallnot be moved therefrom except in compliance with this paragraph: Provided,That permits may be issued for the interstate movement of second-cut lintersdirect from the premises of such approved oil mills conditioned (1) on thepassing of such linters through special roller equipment in such a manner thatin the judgment of the inspector all cottonseed and larvae therein would becrushed, and (2) on the protection of such linters after such treatment ade-quate in the judgment of the inspector to protect them from any possibility ofcontamination.

Uncompressed and undisinfected cotton lint may be moved interstate underpermit" between regulated areas under such safeguards as shall be requiredby the inspector when such movement is not through any point outside anyregulated area.

Baled cotton lint grown outside of but concentrated within a regulated areamay be moved interstate under permit out of such regulated area on the fur-

" All of the Arizona areas defined in regulation 3, except Safford and Duncan Valleys,are infested not only with the pink-bollWorm but also with the Thurberia weevil and areincluded within the area designated as regulated area in the Thurberia-weevil quarantine.(See Notice of Quarintine No. 61-revised). Under that quarantine seed cotton, cotton-Seed, anud cottoflse ed bulls are prohibited interstate movement from the Thurberia-weevilregulaed area and no permits vvill be issued for such movement. Permits for the inter-state Imiovemueot of un compressed amd undisiflected cotton lint from that area will notbe issued.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

SENATE UPHOLDS PLANT QUARANTINE ACT

The following amendment to the plant quarantine act of August 20, 1912, wasproposed in the Senate Committee revision, September 4, 1929, of the tariff bill(H. R. 2667, committee print, page 290) :

(d) Plant quarantine.-The plant quarantine act, approved August 20, 1912,as amended, shall not be construed to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture toforbid the importation of any nursery stock or other plants, or fruits, vege-tables, roots, bulbs, seeds, or other plant products unless such plants or plantproducts are infected with disease or infested with injurious insects, new to ornot theretofore widely prevalent or distributed within and throughout theUnited States, or unless the Secretary of Agriculture has reason to believe thatsuch plants or plant products are so infected or infested.

Owing to the impossibility of determining the freedom of plants from insectpests and diseases by inspection merely, the effect of this amendment wouldhave been to render the present sections of the act relating to foreign importa-tion of little or no value for the purpose of excluding pests. It would havemade possible general and unlimited importations of plants in bulk or other-wise, including culls and rejects, and to open the gates to importations of fruitsand vegetables now excluded from many countries for valid sanitary reasons,and would have permitted the same type of entry of pests as gained foothold inthe United States prior to 1912, such as the European corn borer, Japanesebeetle, Oriental fruit worm, chestnut blight, citrus canker, etc.; in other words,it would very probably have caused the loss, as a result of a single year's im-portations, of the benefits which have resulted from 17 years of enforcement ofthe act in the prevention, with few exceptions, of entry of new and dangerouspests with imported plants and plant products.

For Senate discussion of the proposed amendment, see Congrssional Recordfor September 12, 1929, pp. 3703-3706; September 14, 1929, pp. 3757-3758; Sep-tember 17, 1929, p. 3837, and September 18, 1929, pp. 3861-3868. On the datelast named the proposed amendment, after an extended discussion, was droppedby general consent; in other words, without vote.

ESTONIA ADDED TO COUNTRIES WHICH MAY SHIP POTATOES TO THEUNITED STATES

Evidence has recently been submitted to the Department of Agriculture thatEstonia has met all of the general conditions set forth in Regulation 2 of theRegulations Governing the Importation of Potatoes into the United States, in-cluding the establishment of the fact that it is free from the potato wart andother injurious potato diseases and insect pests new to or not widely prevalentor distributed within and throughout the United States. On and after August2, 1929, until further notice, permits will therefore be issued for the entryof potatoes grown in Estonia.
