other New England states has been and 

 is still very extensive and in all prob- 

 ability this insect is established at 

 many points in all of these states. For 

 this reason, until there has been more 

 thorough scouting, to determine more 

 accurately its present distribution, it is 

 necessary to include all of the New 

 England states in the quarantine." 



'Th6 letter warns that "the penalty 

 prescribed by this section of the Illinois 

 state law for a violation on the part 

 of the importer of a proclamation of 

 the governor is not less than $500 and 

 not more than $5,000." 



The text of the governor's proclama- 

 tion is as follows: 



Whereas, the department of agriculture of the 

 state of Illinois has reported to me that said 

 department has found that corn, broom corn, cel- 

 ery, dahlias, chrysanthemums, gladioli and gera- 

 niums grown In various sections of the states of 

 New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts and 

 probably elsewhere In the New England states are 

 Infested by an Insect known as the European corn 

 borer (Pyrausta nubllalls) ; that the said Insect 

 is a pest and causes great damage to such com 

 and other plants, resulting In great damage to the 

 growers thereof ; that the spread of said Insect Is 

 rapid and the eradication thereof extremely diffi- 

 cult ; that corn, broom com, celery, dahlias, chrys- 

 anthemums, gladioli and geraniums coming from 

 the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, 

 Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and 

 New York are liable to convey such Insect Into 

 this state to the great loss and damage of the 

 people thereof : 



Now, therefore, I, Frank O. Lowden, governor 

 of the state of Illinois, by virtue of the power and 

 authority in me vested by the provisions of an act 

 entitled, "An act to prevent the introduction and 

 dissemination within this state of insect pests and 

 diseases injurious to the plants and plant products 

 of this state," filed June 29, 1917. in force July 

 1, 1917, as subsequently amended by an act of the 

 Fifty-flrst General Assembly, approved June 28, 

 1919, In force July 1, 1919. do hereby prohibit 

 and declare unlawful from and after the twentieth 

 4P7 of January, 1920. until otherwise by me pro- 

 daimed, the importation Into the state of Illinois 

 Uti within the state of Illinois, of corn, broom 

 •om, celery, dahlias, chrysanthemums, gladioli 

 and geraniums, g^o^vn in the said states of Maine, 

 New Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Rhode 

 Island, Connecticut and New York, except seed 

 com In packages not to exceed one pound and seed

 warded to its final destination ; any shipment con- 

 taining cobs or parts of cobs to be destroyed or

 to all persons concerned, especially admonishing 

 all ofllcers of the state of Illinois, charged with 

 the enforcement of the laws of this state, to be 

 diligent In preventing and punishing the acts 

 herein prohibited.
