PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, REPUBLIC OF URUGUAY 
\\ CERTIFICATION OF FIELD INSPECTION OF SEED POTATOES TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED 
Reference is made to the memorandum of November 9, 1934, to inspectors in 
charge, presenting the text of Uruguayan decree no. 1068/931, of January 10, 
1934, restricting the importation of seed potatoes. 
It is learned that the decree of July 4, 1935, temporarily suspends article 2 
of the decree of January 10, 1934. In other words, until further notice the 
certification that the potatoes concerned were selected seed potatoes and that 
the cultures from which they were obtained had been officially inspected and 
found free from the so-called " degenerative " diseases is not required.
