1938] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 55 
The currant and gooseberry shipping regulations also are revised. The 
extensive Federal-State control work throughout the infected States is con- 
tinued, and in order to protect accomplishments and to maintain sanitation 
zones around the valuable pine stands. The control-area permit requirement 
is extended to apply to shipments to 23 States. The requirements as to 
dormancy, defoliation, or dipping of currant and gooseberry plants, are con- 
tinued in the case of shipments to the 12 pine-growing States to which pine 
shipments are prohibited. The embargo as to shipments of European black 
currants throughout the United States except into the 12 central States of 
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana. Mississippi. Missouri. Ne- 
braska, North Dakota, Oklahoma. South Dakota, and Texas is continued 
unchanged. 
Copies of the regulations of the quarantine, as revised, may be obtained from 
the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, United States Department 
of Agriculture, Washington. D. C. 
WHITE-PINE BLISTER RUST QUARANTINE 
Revision of Regulations 
introductory note 
Several important changes are made in the restrictions on the interstate 
movement of five-leaved pines and currant and gooseberry plants in the follow- 
ing revision of the white-pine blister rust quarantine regulations. An embargo 
is placed on the interstate movement of five-leaved pines into two pine-growing 
regions, one in the West comprising the States of Arizona. Colorado, Nevada, 
New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and part of California, and the other in the 
Southeast comprising the States of Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and Tennessee. The interstate movement of such pines from States 
other than these 11 entire States and from 10 northern California counties into 
the regions described is prohibited. The new regulations are designed to 
protect these pine-growing areas in which the blister rust is not known to exist. 
No other restrictions are placed on the interstate movement of five-leaved 
pines unless they are visibly infected with the rust. 
The dipping and dormancy requirements for currant and gooseberry plants 
which formerly applied only to shipments originating in the infected States, now 
apply to all shipments consigned to the States and counties listed above, from 
any State or District other than the 11 entire States and from the 10 northern 
California counties. 
The control-area permit requirement now applies to currant and gooseberry 
plants consigned to 23 States as listed in regulation 3 (&). The aim of this 
requirement is to strengthen the Federal-State control activities carried on in 
areas surrounding valuable stands of five-leaved pine in these States. 
Xo modification is made in the embargo as to all interstate movement of 
European black currant plants and of the wild native western currant plants 
(Ribes bracteosum and R. petiolare) except as to unrestricted movement into 
and between 12 central States as heretofore.
