4 BURE&TJ OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE [Jan.-Mar. 
It appears necessary, therefore, to consider the advisability of quarantining 
the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, and of restricting or 
prohibiting the movement from these States, or from any districts therein 
determined as infected, of elm plants or parts thereof of all species of the genus 
limits, irrespective of whether nursery, forest, or privately grown, including (1) 
leaves, plants, twigs, branches, bark, roots, trunks, cuttings, and scions of such 
plants; (2) lumber, logs, or cordwood of such plants; and (3) crates, boxes, 
barrels, packing cases, and other containers manufactured in whole or in part 
from such plants, if the wood is not free from bark. 
Notice is, therefore, hereby given that, in accordance with the Plant Quar- 
antine Act of August 20. 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of 
Congress approved March 4, 1917 (39 Stat. 1134, 1165), a public hearing will 
be held before the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine in the audi- 
torium of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, in the new Exten- 
sible Building, Independence Avenue and Fourteenth Street SW., at 10 a. m. 
February 15, 1935, in order that any person interested in the proposed quaran- 
tine may appear and be heard, either in person or by attorney. 
H. A. Waixace, 
Secretary of Agriculture. 
NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 71, WITH REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
This quarantine is established for the purpose of preventing the further spread 
of the Dutch elm disease (Ceratostomella ulmi), which at present is known to 
exist in parts of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. 
SUMMARY 
The area covered by these regulations comprises parts of New Jersey, New 
York, and Connecticut. For specific area see regulation 3. 
These regulations prohibit the interstate movement from the regulated area of 
any and all parts of elms of all species, whether forest or nursery grown, except 
that elm lumber or products manufactured from or containing elm wood, if 
entirely free from bark, are exempt from restriction. 
No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement wholly within the 
regulated area. 
Shipments originating outside of the regulated area if moving through this 
area must be billed on through bill of lading.

Jersey, and New York, effective on and after February 25, 1935. Hereafter, 
under the authority of said act of August 20, 1912, amended as aforesaid, elm

branches, bark, roots, trunks, cuttings, and scions of such plants; (2) logs or 
cordwood of such plants; and (3) lumber, crates, boxes, barrels, packing cases,
