(2) Articles other than soil: When free from soil and when sanitation practices 
as prescribed by the inspector are maintained to his satisfaction, the following 
articles are exempt from certification during the period specified above: 
(i) Nursery stock, including all annual and perennial plants. 
(ii) Hay, including peanut hay, roughage of all kinds, straw, leaves, and leaf- 
mold. 
(iii) Seed cotton, baled cotton lint and linters, and cottonseed when free from 
gin trash.

(vi) Peanuts in shells and peanut shells. 
(vii) Used implements, machinery, and containers. 
(viii) Brick, tile, stone, cinders, concrete slabs, and building blocks. 
(ix) Potatoes, except locally grown potatoes. 
It has been determined that the methods under which such articles and materials 
are produced and handled, the maintenance of sanitation practices, or the applica- 
tion of control measures and natural conditions, have so decreased the intensity of 
infestation in the regulated areas as to eliminate risk of spread of the white- 
fringed beetle, thereby justifying the removal of certification requirements as set 
forth above. 
(b) Except as specified above, the following articles and materials shall remain 
under the restrictions of § 301.72-3 throughout the year: 
(1) All soil, earth, sand, clay, peat, muck, compost, and manure, whether 
moved independent of, or in connection with, or attached to nursery stock, plants, 
products, articles, or things. 
(2) Grass sod. 
(3) Lily bulbs when freshly harvested and uncured. 
(4) Scrap metal and junk. 
(5) Gin trash. 
(6) Locally grown potatoes are under regulation during May, June, and July.
