Notice to General Public Through Newspapers 
United States Department of Agriculture, 
Bureau of Plant Quarantine, 
Washington, D. C, August 12, 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 a revision of the rules and regulations supplemental 
to Notice of Quarantine No. 64, on account of the Mexican fruit worm, effective 
September 1, 1932. The revision provides for limiting permits as to destination, 
and for the issuance of master permits covering certain classes of lot shipments, 
and makes other changes in the requirements governing the shipment of fruits 
from the regulated area of Texas to other States. 
Copies of the said quarantine and of the revised rules and regulations may be 
obtained from the Bureau of Plant Quarantine, United States Department of 
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

Secretary of Agriculture.

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS— EARLY BEGINNING OF SHIPPING SEASON FOR 
TEXAS CITRUS FRUIT AUTHORIZED 
(Issued under regulation 7, section A, Federal Quarantine No. 64, as revised effective September 1, 1932) 
[Approved September 10, 1932; effective September 15, 1932] 
The shipping season for the 1932 crop of citrus fruit under the Federal Mexican 
fruit-worm quarantine (Notice of Quarantine 64) from the counties of Willacy, 
Cameron, and Hidalgo, in Texas, is hereby authorized to begin on September 15, 
1932, so far as that quarantine is concerned. The host-free period required by 
the Department of Agriculture to be enforced by the State of Texas under 
regulation 7 will for the year 1932 close on September 14. 
This action is taken on the basis of evidence presented to the Department of 
Agriculture that such modification is desirable from the standpoint of Mexican 
fruit-worm control and does not involve increase of risk of propagating that 
insect. All clean-up and other requirements concerning the production and 
distribution of Texas citrus fruit remain unchanged. The grapefruit, oranges, 
and kumquats which are authorized shipment froui the area concerned are now 
ripening and the prompt harvesting and shipment of such fruit as ripens during 
the remainder of September will be to the advantage of the eradication program.

Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine. 
ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO NARCISSUS-BULB QUARANTINE 
(No. 62) 
B. P. Q.-337. July 7, 1932. 
ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS— TREATMENT AND PEST SUPPRESSION MEASURES 
IN NARCISSUS PLANTINGS 
(Issued under Notice of Quarantine No. 62; superseding P. Q. C. A.— 217 and P. Q. C. A.— 319) 
Under an amendment to the narcissus-bulb quarantine regulations which 
became effective June 20, 1932, "the specific designation of treatment methods 
[was] removed from the quarantine regulations themselves and will be issued in 
the form of administrative instructions. This change is made for the purpose of 
rendering the regulations more flexible and more easily subject to modification 
when further research work results in the development of improved methods." 
In accordance with that plan, the following instructions are issued with respect 
to bulb treatments and pest suppression in narcissus plantings.
