Instructions to Postmasters 
Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, September 21, 1935. 
The United States Department of Agriculture advises it has been determined 
that the active period of the Japanese beetle in its relation to fruits and 
vegetables has already ceased for the present season and that it is, therefore, 
safe to permit the unrestricted movement of fruits and vegetables listed in 
regulation 5, rules and regulations, supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 
48, on account of the Japanese beetle, from the regulated area as defined in 
article 3 of such rules and regulations. 
Postmasters in the area regulated by the Japanese beetle quarantine may, 
therefore, accept until June 15, 1936, fully prepaid parcels of fruits and vege- 
tables when properly packed without being accompanied with the certificate 
of inspection prescribed by that quarantine. 
C. B. ElLENBERGER, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
