QUARANTINE AND OTHER OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO DATE-PALM SCALE QUARANTINE 
(NO. 6) 
DATE-PALM SCALE QUARANTINE REVOKED 
(Press notice) 
June 19, 1936. 
The apparent eradication of the date-palm scale has led Secretary of Agricul- 
ture Wallace to revoke the Federal date-palm scale quarantine (no. 6), effective 
July 1, 1936. Under the quarantine, which was promulgated in March 1913, the 
interstate movement of date palms and date-palm offshoots was regulated from 
certain areas in California, Arizona, and Texas on account of the Parlatoria 
scale, an injurious date-palm scale insect.
