SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 101 
All shipments upon arrival will be inspected, and if this examination reveals the 
presence of living insects in the nuts or in or on the containers, or on the docks 
in the immediate vicinity of the containers, all such shipments must be promptly 
exported, unless provision has been previously made for the disinfection of such 
shipments as a condition of entry, under methods and conditions approved by the 
bureau. It is understood that these conditions shall include immediate avail- 
ability of plants with capacity to handle the shipments promptly, and if hot water 
is used, provided with efficient driers, and that such plants shall be within the 
confines of the port of first arrival and at locations approved by the bureau. 
In view of the necessity of having a Federal inspector at each plant, the number 
of such plants shall not exceed two at any port. 
Shipments infested with living insects must be promptly moved to an approved 
treating plant under safeguards deemed necessary by the representatives of the 
bureau.

Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine. 
ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE 
QUARANTINE OF PUERTO RICO (NO. 58) 
MODIFICATION OF REGULATIONS OF THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE QUARANTINE OF 
PUERTO RICO 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
Quarantine No. 58, governing the entry of fruits and vegetables from Puerto 
Rico, came into effect July 1, 1925. During the intervening period there has 
been some opportunity to make more accurate estimate of the pest risk attend- 
ing shipments of fruits and vegetables from the island; and because of the wider 
knowledge thus attained on the pest situation, coupled with considerable con- 
fidence in established methods of safeguarding such shipments by point-of- 
origin inspection and certification, it would appear that the somewhat restricted 
list of fruits and vegetables originally permitted entry to the mainland could 
be safely extended. 
This amendment, affecting regulation 3 only, provides for admission of a 
considerable number of fruit and vegetable products additional to the limited 
number listed in the original regulations. 
Lee A. Strong, 
Chief y Bureau of Plant Quarantine.

(37 Stat. 315), it is ordered that regulation 3 of the rules and regulations supple- 
mental to Notice of Quarantine No. 58, which became effective July 1, 1925, be, 
and the same is hereby, amended to read as follows: 
Regulation 3. Fruits and Vegetables Permitted Entry Under Inspection 
and Certification

tables may be moved or allowed to be moved from the Territory of Puerto Rico

of plants or plant litter or rubbish and have been inspected by an inspector 
of the United States Department of Agriculture and certified to be free from
