ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO THURBERIA WEEVIL QUARANTINE 
(NO. 61) 
AREAS IN PINAL COUNTY, ARIZ., RELEASED UNDER THE THURBERIA WEEVIL 
QUARANTINE 
(Press notice) 
October 23, 193G. 
The Secretary of Agriculture announced today an amendment to regulation 3 
of the Thurberia weevil quarantine. The purpose of the amendment is to 
release from restriction four townships in Pinal County, Ariz., which were 
formerly included in the regulated area. The Secretary states that the area 
involved is desert land in which no cotton has been raised. Plans for irriga- 
tion and cotton production are, however, under way. The recent eradication of 
Thurberia plants from the mountains between this area and Marana, the 
nearest known point of infestation, is believed to have eliminated danger of 
Thurberia weevil establishing itself in the released area when cotton is planted. 
MODIFICATION OF THURBERIA WEEVIL QUARANTINE REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The following amendment to regulation 3 of the Thurberia weevil quaran- 
tine is issued to release from restriction four townships in Pinal County, 
Ariz., which were formerly included in the regulated area. The area involved 
is desert land in which no cotton has been raised. Plans for irrigation and 
cotton production are, however, under way. The recent eradication of Thur- 
beria plants from the mountains between this area and Marana, the nearest 
known point of infestation, is believed to have eliminated danger of Thurberia 
weevil establishing itself there when cotton is planted. No other changes 
are made in the regulated area.
