PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE REGULATIONS AMENDED 
[Press notice] 
September 12, 1939. 
Because of the recent discovery of an infestation of the pink boll worm in 
okra, the Federal quarantine regulations relating to the pink bollworm of 
cotton have been amended, effective September 15, to require the certification 
of okra when moved interstate from the regulated areas in Texas, Arizona, and 
New Mexico, the United States Department of Agriculture announced today. 
The regulated areas were extended in this revision to include the Texas 
counties of Duval, Jim Hogg, La Salle, and Maverick where pink bollworm 
infestations have been found, and also the counties of Zapata and Webb in Texas 
because they are within normal ginning territory of that part of the regulated 
area in Texas. 
The regulated areas now include 12 New Mexico counties, 6 Arizona counties 
and part of a seventh, and 39 Texas counties and parts of 2 others. Most 
of this area lies along the Mexican border.
