Instructions to Postmasters — Removal of Japanese Beetle Quarantine 
Restriction on the Movement of Farm Products . 
Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, D. C, September 21, 1932. 
The United States Department of Agriculture advises it has been determined 
that the active period of the Japanese beetle in its relation to farm products has 
already ceased for the present season and that it is, therefore, safe to permit the 
unrestricted movement of the farm products listed in regulation 5 of the rules and 
regulations (10th revision) supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 48 on 
account of the Japanese beetle from the regulated area as defined in regulation 3 
of such rules and regulations. ' 
Postmasters in the areas regulated by the Japanese-beetle quarantine may, 
therefore, accept until June 15, 1933, fully prepaid parcels of farm products when 
properly packed without being accompanied with the certificate of inspection 
prescribed by that quarantine. 
F. A. Tilton, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
