1933] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 153 
amended. The list of States designated as infected with white-pine blister rust 
has been extended to include Iowa, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and West 
Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia. 
The embargo which prohibited the shipment of such pines from infected to 
noninfected Slates is removed, and the Federal pine-shipping permits which 
heretofore authorized shipments only between infected States may now be used 
for shipments to noninfected States also. 
At the same time the interstate movement into other infected States of 5- 
leafed pines grown in the lightly infected States is somewhat more restricted 
than heretofore, experience indicating that such pines should be raised in a 
Ribes-free environment in order to be considered safe from blister rust. 
The embargo which has hitherto prohibited the movement of 5-leafed pines 
from points east of the Missouri Valley to the Western States is removed. 
The interstate shipment of currant and gooseberry plants is also simplified by 
the elimination of the provision that such plants if transported from the in- 
fected States were required to be both dormant and dipped in lime-sulphur 
solution. Hereafter such plants will not be required to be disinfected in 
lime-sulphur unless shipped with leaves or active buds. 
Summary 
The infected States and District are designated as Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, 
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hamp- 
shire New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver- 
mont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of 
Columbia. 
The careful attention of postmasters is invited to the following revised reg- 
ulations of Quarantine Order No. 63 on account of the white-pine blister rust,

TERMINAL INSPECTION OF PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS 
IDAHO DISCONTINUES TERMINAL INSPECTION 
Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, March 14, 1933. 
Postmaster. 
My Dear Sir: The director of the bureau of plant industry, Department of 
Agriculture of Idaho, has advised that as the recent Legislature of Idaho made 
no appropriation for nursery-stock inspection, parcels of plants or plant prod- 
ucts upon arrival at the post office of address may be delivered to the ad- 
dressees without first being subjected to terminal inspection under section 596, 
Postal Laws and Regulations. 
, You will, therefore, please be governed accordingly in future. 
Very truly yours, 
C. B. Eilenberger. 
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
