SHIPPING SEASON FOR TEXAS CITRUS FRUIT TO END ON APRIL 2 
(Approved Mar. 22, 1935; effective Apr. 2, 1935) 
Announcement is made that the shipping season for citrus fruit under the 
Federal Mexican fruit worm quarantine (Notice of Quarantine No. 64) from the 
counties of Brooks, Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy, in Texas, will close for 
the season on April 2, 1935. The host-free period required under the regula- 
tions to be enforced by the State of Texas will for the year 1935 begin on 
April 3. 
Under the provisions of the quarantine it is required that prior to the begin- 
ning of the host-free period each year all citrus fruit except lemons and sour 
limes shall be removed from the trees for shipment, storage, or sale, and all 
other host fruits shall be destroyed either following removal from the trees or 
by destruction of the trees themselves. Permits will not be issued for the 
interstate shipment of citrus fruits after the close of April 2 except as to such 
fruits shipped from approved storage. 
This order modifies an announcement made by the Department on January 
24, 1935, when the current shipping season was extended to include April 
15, 1935. The modification is necessary owing to the recent discovery of 
Mexican fruit flies and infested fruit within the regulated area and the im- 
portance of instituting the host-free period without delay in order to avoid 
the further establishment of infestation in the groves.

Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
