ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE 
(NO. 52) 
REVISION OF QUARANTINE AND REGULATIONS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The following revision of the pink boll worm quarantine and regulations is 
issued in order to release from restriction all parts of the State of Georgia for- 
merly included in the regulated area. This action is taken on the basis of very- 
careful inspections made throughout the area in 1934 and 1935, with negative 
results. It is therefore believed that eradication efforts have been successful 
in Georgia and that quarantine regulations on account of the pink bollworm of 
cotton are no longer necessary in that State. No other changes are made in 
the regulated areas. 
SUMMARY 
The regulated areas under this revision include 3 counties of southern Arizona, 
14 counties of north central Florida, 9 counties of southern New Mexico, and 
17 entire counties and parts of 4 additional counties of western Texas. Of 
this area, 5 counties and part of another in Texas are designated as heavily 
infested, and the other areas as lightly infested. (See regulation 3.) 
No stalks, bolls, or other parts of either cultivated or wild cotton plants and 
no gin waste are allowed to be transported interstate from any regulated area 
and no permits will be issued for such movement, except that the local trans- 
portation of gin waste between regulated areas is authorized after freezing 
weather starts. (See regulation 5.) 
Seed cotton must not be transported interstate from any regulated area, 
except between contiguous regulated areas for ginning. (See regulation 6.) 
Cottonseed, cotton lint, linters, cottonseed hulls, cake, and meal, and bagging, 
wrappers, and containers which have been used for cotton or cotton products 
must not be transported interstate from any regulated area except under per- 
mit. Cottonseed produced in the heavily infested area must not be moved inter- 
state therefrom and no permits will be issued for such movement. (For the 
conditions governing the issuance of permits, see regulations 7 to 12, and 15.) 
Railway cars, boats, and other vehicles, farm household goods, farm equip- 
ment, and other articles must not be moved interstate from regulated areas 
unless free from contamination with cotton and cotton products. (See regula- 
tion 13.) 
Permits are required to accompany the waybills covering shipments of 
restricted articles, or in the case of highway vehicles, they must accompany 
the vehicles. (See regulation 15.) 
To secure permits, address the local inspector or the Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine, 521 Avenue A, San Antonio, Tex.

Acting Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, 
NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 52 (REVISED) 
(Approved Dec. 4, 1935; effective Dec. 5, 1935) 
I, M. L. Wilson, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that it 
is necessary to quarantine the States of Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, and 
Texas, to prevent the spread of the pink bollworm (jPectinophora gossypiella 
Saunders), a dangerous insect new to and not heretofore widely prevalent or 
distributed within and throughout the United States. 
Now, therefore, under the authority conferred by section 8 of the Plant 
Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of 
Congress approved March 4, 1917 (39 Stat. 1134, 1165), and having duly given 
the public hearing as required thereby, I do quarantine the said States of Ari- 
zona, Florida, New Mexico, and Texas, effective on and after December 5, 1935. 
Hereafter, under the authority of said act of August 20, 1912, amended as afore- 
said, (1) cotton, wild cotton, including all parts of either cotton or wild cotton 
plants, seed cotton, cotton lint, linters, and all other forms of unmanufactured 
cotton fiber, gin waste, cottonseed, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed cake, and meal;
