With the revocation on and after September 18 of the seasonal quarantine 
restrictions on fruits and vegetables, the temporary inspection force was dis- 
missed. Although scattered beetles were still found in the generally Infested 
area, they were not in flight and had not been found infesting farm products 
for v, unc time prior to the lifting of the regulations. As beetles were still to be 
found in blooms of outdoor-grown flowers, the restrictions on the movement of 
cut flowers were continued in effect until the latest date, October 15.

inspectors removed 3,600 adult beetles from commodities certified for transporta-

and cucumbers were the articles from which the greatest numbers of beetles 
were removed.
