ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE 
(NO. 52) 
MODIFICATION OF PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The following amendment authorizes the issuance of permits for the inter- 
state movement of cottonseed from certain lightly infested sections of the pink- 
bollworm regulated areas, on condition that the seed is heated to 145° F. for 
one hour under Federal supervision. Evidence indicates the elimination of risk 
of infestation under such conditions. While, in the department's tests, seed 
withstood 150° without injury to germination, the department and its employees 
can not assume responsibility for any injury which might result.

Chief, Plant Quarantine and Control Adnriiustration.
