NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 38 (REVISED) 
[Approved August 4, 1937; effective September 1, 1937] 
I, M. L. Wilson, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that, in 
order to prevent the spread of a dangerous plant disease known as the black 
stem rust (Puccinia graminis), not heretofore widely prevalent or distributed 
within and throughout the United States and largely brought under control 
through the eradication of various susceptible varieties and species of Berberis 
and Mahonia in the States of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, 
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 
South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, it is necessary 
to quarantine all States of the continental United States and the District of 
Columbia, in order to prevent the interstate spread of said disease into and 
among the States named. 
Now, therefore, under authority conferred by section 8 of the Plant Quaran- 
tine Act of August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of March 
4, 1917 (39 Stat. 1134, 1165), and having duly given the public hearing re- 
quired thereby, I do quarantine each and every State of the continental United 
States and the District of Columbia, effective on and after September 1, 1937. 
Hereafter, under the authority of said act of August 20, 1912, amended as 
aforesaid, no plants of common barberry or otlier species of Berberis or 
Mahonia, or parts tliereof capable of propagation, shall be shipped, offered for 
shipment to a common carrier, received for transportation or transported by a 
common carrier, or carried, transported, moved, or allowed to be moved from any 
of said quarantined States or District into any of the protected States, namely, 
Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, IMontana, Ne- 
braska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, West Vir- 
ginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, nor from any one of said protected States into 
any other protected State, in manner or method or under conditions other than 
those prescribed in the rules and regulations hereinafter made and in amend- 
ments thereto. 
Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of August 1937. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States Department of Agriculture, 
[SEAL] M. L. Wilson, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
