ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO JAPANESE BEETLE QUARANTINE 
(NO. 48) 
JAPANESE BEETLE QUARANTINE REGULATIONS REVISED 
(Press notice) 
February 13, 1941. 
The United States Department of Agriculture announced today that the Japa- 
nese beetle quarantine and regulations have been revised, effective February 
12, 1941. 
The regulated territory has been extended to include new areas in Maryland, 
New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The new areas brought 
within the regulations include parts or all of the following counties : Baltimore, 
Carroll, Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, Washington, and 
Wicomico, Md. ; Cayuga, N. Y. ; Butler, Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango, 
and Warren, Pa. ; Chesterfield, Greensville, and Rappahannock, Va. ; and Marshall 
and Ohio, W. Va. The cities of Petersburg and Winchester, Va., are included 
also. These additions to the regulated area are made because scouting in 1940 
showed that beetles were present there in large numbers. 
The portion of this area subject to special regulations on the movement of 
fruits and vegetables that might carry beetles from the more heavily infested 
territory to uninfested territory has been extended to include additional areas 
in Baltimore and Howard Counties, Md., and Berks, Lehigh, Northampton, and
