Notice to General Public Through Newspapers 
United States Department of Agriculture, 
Washington, D. C, March 7, 19S9. 
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 Notice of Quarantine No. 52 and the 
iegulations supplemental thereto, on account of the pink bollworm of cotton 
effective March 15, 1939. The purpose of the revision is chiefly to clarify the 
requirements and to authorize the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and 
Plant Quarantine to modify by administrative instructions the restrictions in 
accordance with the pest risk. No change was made in the areas under regula- 
tion. Copies of the revised quarantine and regulations may be obtained from 
the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Washington, D. C. 
H. A. Wallace, 
Secretary of Agriculture.

Administrative Instructions — Modifying the Pink Bollworm Quarantine 
Regulations by Suspending Treatment Requirements of Designated Articles 
From the Counties of Brooks, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, and Nueces, 
Tex. 
March 30, 1939. 
Under authority contained in the second proviso in Notice of Quarantine No. 
52, revised (sec. 301.52), and having determined that facts exist as to the pest 
risk involved which make it safe to modify, by making less stringent, the 
restrictions contained in paragraphs (a) and (c) of regulation 4 (sec. 301.52-4) 
of the pink bollworm quarantine, notice is hereby given that baled linters and 
products thereof, cottonseed hulls, cake, and meal produced in the counties of 
Brooks, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, and Nueces, Tex., may be moved interstate 
therefrom without restriction other than (1) that the products have been 
produced in an authorized oil mill and subsequently protected from contamina- 
tion, and (2) that a certificate issued by the United States Department of 
Agriculture has been obtained and attached to the containers or shipping papers, 
in accordance with the requirements of regulation 11 (sec. 301.52-11). 
The removal of certain treatment requirements for the above-mentioned prod- 
ucts is due to the fact that a light infestation of the pink bollworm was dis- 
covered in the affected area at the peak of the 1938 ginning season, and 
facilities were not available for sterilization of the cottonseed from which these 
products are being manufactured. 
This modification shall remain in effect until April 30, 1939: Provided, That 
products manufactured prior to that date will be eligible for certification subse- 
quent thereto. (Sec. 301.52— 4a, issued under authority contained in sec. 
301:52-4.)

Acting Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
