and incapable of propagation) are in force throughout the year and are not 
affected by this announcement. 
REMOVAL OF JAPANESE-BEETLE QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS ON THE 
INTERSTATE MOVEMENT OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES 
Since 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 the 
fruits and vegetables listed in regulation 5 of the rules and regulations (elev- 
enth revision) supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 48 from the regulated 
area as defined in regulation 3 of said rules and regulations, it is ordered that 
all restrictions on the interstate movement of the articles referred to above are 
hereby removed on and after September 15, 1933. This order advances the 
termination of the restrictions as to fruits and vegetables provided for in 
regulation 5 from October 16 to September 15, 1933, and applies to this season 
only. 
Done at the city of Washington this 13th day of September 1933.

ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO MEXICAN FRUIT-FLY 
QUARANTINE (NO. 64) 
DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZES LENGTHENING OF NEXT SHIPPING SEASON FOR 
CITRUS FRUIT OF LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY 
(Press notice) 
The season for shipping citrus fruit under the Mexican fruit-fly quarantine 
regulations from the Texas counties of Willacy, Cameron, and Hidalgo, has 
been extended to include April 30, 1934, according to an announcement today 
by Lee A. Strong, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine of the United States 
Department of Agriculture, following a conference in Harlingen, Tex., with 
J. M. Del Curto, State entomologist, Texas State Department of Agriculture. 
Extension of the shipping season makes the grove clean-up requirements by the 
end of the season even more imperative, and quarantine officials anticipate the 
same cooperation heretofore extended in this work by growers of the lower 
Rio Grande Valley. 
Messrs. Strong and Del Curto point out that both the Federal Department 
and the State Department of Agriculture desire to assist in every possible 
manner in the movement of the Texas citrus crop. At the same time there 
must be full appreciation of the responsibility to prevent the building up of 
infestation and spread of fruit fly, and it is hoped and believed that The grow- 
ers will at all times realize the importance of full compliance with the clean-up 
regulations. Discovery of any infestation of the Mexican fruit fly will neces- 
sarily require immediate eradication and precautionary clean-up measures in 
any area which may be involved, they point out. 
As to the beginning of the shipping season this fall, there was an effective 
clean-up at the close of last shipping season; two applications of spray have 
been made; the season seems somewhat advanced; and, therefore, to give the 
fullest possible marketing advantages and relying on the continued cooperation 
of the growers in clean-up and other precautionary measures, so far as the 
fruit-fly regulations are concerned, fruit may be certified on and after Sep- 
tember 1, 1933. 
[Above press notice was released at Harlingen, Tex., July 31, 1933.]
