IQ BURKAU OF ENT(^MOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE (Jan-March 
The conditions under wliieli Federal pine-shipping permits may be issued are 
modified so that permits may be granted to anthori/.e the interstate movement 
of five-leafed pines which liave not been raised from seed under ribes-free con- 
ditions when in the judgment of the Bureau of Entomology and IMant Quaran- 
tine there is little or no risk of such pines being involved in blister rust 
j?)fection. 
The regulations pertaining to five-leafed pines are also revised to prohibit 
their interstate movement when visibly infected with the white-pine blister rust 
uidess such trees are shipped in a preservative or are authorized and labeled 
under the provisions of regulation 7. 
Summary 
The infected States and District are designated as Connecticut, Idaho, lowa^ 
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hamp- 
shire, New Jersey, Now York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver- 
mont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of 
Columbia. (Regulation 1 (g).) 
Pine Shipments 
These regulations require a Federal pine-shipping permit (see regulation 2,. 
sec. A) for the shipment or transportation of five-leafed pines from any infected 
State or District, except that in the case of shipments to or between the States 
of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, 
and Vermont, a control-area permit secured from the proper officer of the State 
of destination may, until further notice, be substituted for the Federal pine- 
shipping permit. 
l*ine-shipping permits are issued for pines grown from seed in a nursery 
which is protected from blister rust infection by a ribes-free zone around the 
premises. (See regulation 2, sec. B.) 
Valid State nursery inspection certificates are also required as to all inter- 
state movement of five-leafed pines in the United States. 
Currant and Gooseberry Shipments 
The interstate movement of European black currant plants (and plants of the 
wild native \Aestern species known as Ribcft hractcosum and R. Petiolare) is pro- 
hibited except to and betw^een the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, 
Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. ]Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma,. 
South Dakota, and Texas. (See regulation 3-a.)

must be either dormant and defoliated or else dipped in lime-sulphur solution 
(4.5° B.) imtncdiafcli/ heforc shipment. (See regulation 3-7;.) 
The control-area provision is continued and is extended to INIaryland, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Under that requirement a control-area permit 
must be secured from the State of destination for shipments of currant and 
gooseberry plants into those States which have legally established areas in 
which the growing of cuirant and gooseberry plants is prohibited. Such States 
are Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, ^Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, IMinnesota, 
New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and
