ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE 
(NO. 52) 
FLORIDA RELEASED FROM PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE 
(Press notice) 
October 15, 1936. 
The United States Department of Agriculture announced today a revision 
of the pink bollworm quarantine and regulations. The revision releases from 
restriction all parts of Florida formerly included in the regulated area. This 
action is taken on the basis of careful inspections made throughout the area 
in 1935 and 1936, which revealed no infestation. It is therefore believed that 
eradication efforts have been successful in Florida and that quarantine regu- 
lations on account of the pink bollworm of cotton are no longer necessary 
in Florida. No other changes are made in the regulated areas, which now 
include certain parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. 
REVISION OF QUARANTINE AND REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The following revision modifies the area regulated under the pink bollworm 
quarantine and regulations by releasing from restriction all parts of the State 
of Florid;! formerly included in the regulated area. This action is taken on 
the basis of very careful inspections made throughout the area in 1935 and 
1936, with negative results. It is therefore believed that eradication efforts 
have been successful in Florida and that quarantine regulations on account 
of the pink bollworm of cotton are no longer necessary in that State. No 
other changes are made in the regulated areas. 
SUMMARY 
The regulated areas under this revision include 3 counties of southern Ari- 
zona, 9 counties of southern New Mexico, and 21 entire counties and parts of 4 
additional counties of western Texas. Of this area, 5 counties and part of 
another in Texas are designated as heavily infested, and the other areas as
