This does not mean that a special examination of the soil is required for 
traces of the wart organism. An attestation by the official plant-protection 
service of the exporting country that the establishment (nursery, plantation, 
garden, etc.) in which this plant material was grown that the said service 
had not determined any case of wart disease in that establishment, will 
suffice. 
Certificates by competent Federal or State authority are acceptable to the 
Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform, but the certificates 
should be issued in the form prescribed (model 16).

of the general government only.

At the same time, the seed-testing station declares that the examination was 
effected under the following conditions : 100 g of seeds were withdrawn from 
three places, the upper, middle, and lower portion of each sack. Each of the 
samples so withdrawn was separately examined. Not a single Cuscuta seed 
was thereby found. If the examination showed the presence of Cuscuta in 
half or greater proportion of the samples, the whole of the consignment in- 
spected was deemed contaminated with Cuscuta. The sealing of the consign- 
ment was effected by the seed-testing station before the examination was made.
