NOTES ON PESTS INTERCEPTED 



The total number of interceptions submitted during the fiscal year 

 1968 was 4A,454. Of those identified during the year, 11,346 were 

 considered of enough significance to be tabulated, as compared with 

 11,407 the previous year. This does not include the non-economic pests, 

 of which a total of 390 interceptions were indexed for the files but 

 were not added to the figures in the summary.

 the spread of 



PLANT 

 PESTS 



Pestina was developed by the U.S. 

 Department of Agriculture and sym- 

 bolizes the need for the traveling 

 public to comply with agricultural 

 plant quarantine laws, thus helping 

 to prevent the spread of agricul- 

 ture pests. Such pests are capable 

 of causing millions of dollars in 

 crop losses and often are trans- 

 ported in foreign fruits, plants, 

 and meats. Pestina is portrayed 

 as a public-spirited figure, 

 helping to remind travelers to 

 leave behind foreign fruits, 

 vegetables, and plants, unless 

 such items have USDA clearance.
