Notice of Quarantine No. 41, with regulations, was passed on 

 February 21 and prohibits the importation in the United States 

 from all foreign countries and localities of the stalk and all 

 other parts, whether used for packing or other purposes, in the 

 raw or unmanufactured state, of Indian corn or Maize (Zra 

 mays), broom corn, sweet sorghums, grain sorghums, Sudan 

 grass, Johnson grass, sugar cane, including Japanese varieties, 

 pearl millet, napier grass, teosinte and Job's tears on account of 

 several dangerous plant pests including so-called European corn 

 borer {Pyrausta niibialis) and other dangerous insects as well 

 as plant diseases existing in Europe, Asia, Africa, Dominion of 

 Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and other foreign 

 countries and localities. 



Notice of Quarantine No. 42 was also passed February 21 and 

 prohibits the importation of Indian corn or Maize (Zca mays) 

 from any of the states in Mexico. On account of finding that 

 corn seed from that country is more or less contaminated with 

 cotton seed and to avoid the introduction of the Pink bollworm 

 of cotton, this regulation has been passed. All persons con- 

 templating the importation of corn from Mexico shall first make 

 application to the Federal Horticultural Board for a permit as 

 required by regulation (1) of this notice. Any information on 

 this and other subjects will be gladly given by the Chief Plant 

 Inspector of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry.
