JJg BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE [Oct.-Dec. 
governing the importation of potatoes. This amendment eliminates the pro- 
vision for the importation, without restriction, of potatoes into the Territory 
of Hawaii for local use. Hawaii is now engaged in the commercial growing 
of potatoes, not only for local use but for shipment to the mainland. There 
is no record of the occurrence in that Territory of injurious potato diseases, 
and the amendment seeks to prevent the entry into Hawaii of infected potatoes 
from foreign countries. 
The amendment provides, also, for the entry of potatoes from the entire 
northern territory of Baja (Lower) California, Mexico. Heretofore entry 
from Baja California has been limited to potatoes grown in the Imperial 
Valley. It has been determined that the conditions which prevail in the 
Imperial Valley obtain throughout the entire northern territory. 
On and after December 1, 1936, the entry of foreign potatoes into the Territory 
of Hawaii will be governed by the same restrictions which apply to ship- 
ments of foreign potatoes to the mainland and Puerto Rico and the entry 
of potatoes from the entire northern territory of Baja California will be 
allowed under the same conditions as now govern the entry of potatoes from 
the Imperial Valley area of that territory. 
AMENDMENT OF REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE ENTRY OF POTATOES INTO THE 
UNITED STATES 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
This revision eliminates the provision for the importation of foreign potatoes 
into the Territory of Hawaii for local use, without restriction, and provides 
that the entry of foreign potatoes into the Territory of Hawaii be governed 
by the same restrictions which apply to the entry of potatoes into continental 
United States and Puerto Rico. It provides also for the entry of potatoes from 
the entire northern territory of Baja California, 8 Mexico. Heretofore potatoes 
from Baja California, Mexico, have been authorized only from the Imperial 
Valley.
