to be moved from any of said quarantined States or District into or through 
any other State or Territory or District of the United States in manner or 
method or under conditions other than those prescribed in the rules and regu- 
lations hereinafter made and amendments thereto: Provided, That the restric- 
tions of this quarantine and of the rules and regulations supplemental thereto 
may be limited to the areas in a quarantined State now, or which may here- 
after be, designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as regulated areas when, 
in the judgment of the Secretary of Agriculture, the enforcement of the afore- 
said rules and regulations as to such regulated areas shall be adequate to pre- 
vent the spread of the Japanese beetle: Provided further, That such limitation 
shall be conditioned upon the said State providing for and enforcing such control 
measures with respect to such regulated areas as, in the judgment of the Secre- 
tary of Agriculture, shall be deemed adequate to prevent the spread of the 
Japanese beetle therefrom to other parts of the State.
