Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, May 6, 1938. 
The State of Arkansas has established at Little Rock, Ark., a place for 
terminal plant inspection under the provisions of the law embodied in section 
590, Postal Laws and Regulations, of the following plants and plant products: 
Sweetpotatoes, sweetpotato plants, vines, draws, and slips. 
All postmasters are therefore informed that packages containing any plants 
or plant products addressed to places in the State of Arkansas may be accepted 
for mailing only when plainly marked so that the contents may be readily 
ascertained by an inspection of the outside thereof. The law makes failure 
so to mark such parcels an offense punishable by a fine of not more than $100. 
The State of Arkansas has also issued a State plant quarantine on account 
of the sweetpotato weevil, pursuant to the act of June 4, 1936, embodied in 
amended section 596, Postal Laws and Regulations, which prohibits the ship- 
ment into that State from any other part of the continental United States of 
sweetpotatoes, sweetpotato plants, vines, draws, and slips, known to be hosts of 
this pest, unless accompanied with an inspection certificate issued by the 
State of origin, showing the plants and plant products to be free of infestation. 
Postmasters are therefore requested to observe the restrictions of the 
Arkansas quarantine when the host plants and plant products named above 
are offered for mailing and will also invite the attention of mailers to these 
provisions. 
Postmasters within the State of Arkansas receiving parcels containing the 
plants named, which are not accompanied with the required certificate, should 
be guided by paragraphs 3 and 6, section 595, Postal Laws and Regulations, 
obtaining the necessary forwarding postage, and forward the parcels to the 
postmaster at Little Rock, Ark., endorsed in the prescribed manner. Parcels 
containing these plants which are accompanied with a proper certificate may 
be delivered to the addressees without being submitted for terminal inspection.
