Instructions to Postmasters 
Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, September 22, 1941. 
The United States Department of Agriculture advises it has been determined 
that the active period of the Japanese beetle in its relation to fruits and 
vegetables has already ceased for the present season and that it is, therefore, 
safe to permit the unrestricted movement of fruits and vegetables listed in 
regulation 301.48-5, rules and regulations. Notice of Quarantine BEPQ-48, on 
account of the Japanese beetle, from the entire regulated area defined in 
section 301.48-3 of the rules and regulations. 
Postmasters may, therefore, until June 15, 1942, accept fully prepaid parcels 
of fruits and vegetables, when properly packed, without being accompanied 
with a certificate of inspection prescribed by that quarantine, except that the 
certificate exemption applies to interstate shipments of fruits and vegetables 
from Accomac and Northampton Counties in Virginia only until June 1, 1942. 
The Department of Agriculture points out there is still danger, however, 
that the beetles may be transported in cut flowers. Therefore, the restrictions on 
interstate movement of cut flowers will remain in full force through October 15. 
Restrictions on the movement of nursery, ornamental, and greenhouse stock 
and all other plants (except cut flowers, soil-free aquatic plants, and portions of 
plants without roots and free from soil) are in force throughout the year and 
are not affected by this order.
