ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO JAPANESE BEETLE 
QUARANTINE (NO. 48) 
JAPANESE BEETLE QUARANTINE REVISED 
(Press notice) 
June 3, 1935. 
A revision of the regulations of the Japanese beetle quarantine was an- 
nounced today by Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture. As now re- 
vised they regulate the interstate movement from June 15 to October 15, 
inclusive, of all fruits and vegetables by refrigerator car or motor vehicle 
from the District of Columbia, and parts of the States of Delaware, Maryland, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. 
These restrictions, Secretary Wallace stated, are based on observations 
made during the summer of 1934 which indicated the necessity for restricting 
the movement of all fruits and vegetables by refrigerator cars or trucks from 
these sections of heavy infestation to noninfested territory. 
The regulations prohibit the interstate shipment of cut flowers, portions of 
plants without roots, green corn on the cob, beans in the pod, bananas in entire 
bunches or clusters of 25 or more, apples, peaches, or berries from the regu- 
lated areas to or through outside points from June 15 to October 15, inclusive, 
unless a Federal permit or certificate has been obtained and is attached to the 
outside of the container. No restrictions are, however, placed on the inter- 
state movement of apples or peaches of less than 15 pounds to the shipment, 
or of commercially packed apples in any quantity, or of bananas in bunches 
or clusters of less than 25, unless such articles are moved in refrigerator cars or 
motor vehicles. 
The regulations prohibit throughout the year the interstate shipment of plants, 
sand, soil, earth, peat, compost, and manure from the regulated areas to or 
7700—35 1 27
