RULE VIII. 
EULE AND EEGULATION BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 
OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY CONCERNING THE IM- 
PORTATION OF ALL BANANA FRUIT, BANANA SHOOTS OR 
PLANTS. 
Whereas, This Board lias, by notification of the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture and by its own investigation, been apprised 
of the existence 'of a serious and infectious plant disease on banana in 
many parts of the world, w^hich disease is rapidly spreading throughout 
the infested localities, necessitating the abandonment of thousands of 
acres of banana plantations therein, and is extending to other localities, 
and inasmuch as the existence of this disease in imported plants and 
fruit can not be ascertained by local inspection nor eradicated by'fumi- 
gati'on, and no good method of control of the disease has yet been found, 
Therefore, The Board of Commissioners of xA^griculture ' and Forestry 
of the Territory of Hawaii hereby make the following rule and regu- 
lation: 
Section 1. For the purpose of preventing the introduction into the 
Territory 'of Hawaii of a banana disease known also as banana blight, 
and determined as Fusarium cuhcnsc, all persons, companies and corpora- 
tions are hereby prohibited from introducing or importing into the Terri- 
tory of Hawaii, or into any of its ports for the purpose of debarkati'on 
into said Territory any fresh banana fruit, banana sprouts or plants, from 
Central America, including the Panama Canal Zone, the West Indies, 
Dutch Guiana or any other locality where the said disease exists or may 
become known t'o exist. 
Section 2. This regulation shall take effect from and after the ap- 
proval thereof by the Governor.
