Washington, D. C, May 20, 1932. 
Notice is hereby given that the Secretary of Agriculture under authority 
conferred on him by the plant quarantine act of August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), 
as amended, has promulgated an amendment to the revised rules and regulations 
supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 52, on account of the pink bollworm, 
effective June 15, 1932. This amendment authorizes a new method of using 
roller equipment for the compression of cotton lint or linters under the pro- 
visions of the pink bollworm quarantine regulations. Copies of said amendment 
may be obtained from the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration, Wash- 
ington, D. C.

ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO STOCKS, CUTTINGS, SCIONS, AND 
BUDS OF FRUITS FROM THE ORIENT QUARANTINE (NO. 44) 
STOCKS, CUTTINGS, SCIONS, AND BUDS OF FRUITS FROM THE ORIENT BROUGHT 
UNDER QUARANTINE 37 BY REVOCATION OF QUARANTINE 44 
introductory note 
Notice of quarantine No. 44 (stocks, cuttings, scions, and buds of fruits quar- 
antine), governing the importation of fruit stocks, cuttings, scions, and buds 
from the Orient — namely, Asia, Japan, Philippine Islands, and Oceania (includ- 
ing Australia and New Zealand) — has been in effect since June 1, 1920. It was 
designed to place propagating materials from that part of the world under 
considerably closer restriction than was thought to be necessary in connection 
with those from European countries, partly because of the danger of introducing 
several known injurious insects and diseases from the Orient, and partly because 
the unknown element of danger was suspected to be great. 
The restrictions which are now being enforced in connection with this quar- 
antine are identical with those of regulation 14 of quarantine No. 37 (the 
nursery stock, plant, and seed quarantine), and it would appear, therefore, that 
there is no special need for further continuance of quarantine No. 44. It can 
be merged into quarantine No. 37 so as to maintain the existing safeguards and 
yet simplify both public understanding of the restrictions and administration 
methods. 
To bring about this fusion it is proposed to revoke quarantine No. 44, where- 
upon the fruit stocks, cuttings, scions, and buds originating from the countries 
mentioned will fall automatically under the provisions of quarantine No. 37. 
To provide for continuance of the entry of the cuttings, scions, and buds as 
before, under the restrictions of regulation 14 of quarantine No. 37, regulation 
3 of that quarantine has been revised to exempt these materials from said 
regulation and to refer them specifically to the jurisdiction of regulation 14. 
It is noted that this procedure leaves fruit stocks from the above-mentioned 
oriental countries in the list of stocks prohibited entry in regulation 3. They 
are thus given the same standing as fruit and nut stocks from all other countries.
