204 BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE [July-Sept. 
NOTICE OF PUBLIC CONFERENCE TO CONSIDER CERTAIN CHANGES WITH RESPECT 
TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF NURSERY STOCK, PLANT, AND SEED QUARANTINE 
NO. 37 
August 21, 1933. 
Notice is hereby given that a public conference will be held by the Bureau of 
Plant Quarantine in the auditorium of the Interior Department Building, 
Eighteenth and F Streets, NW., Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m., October 25, 
1933, at which consideration will be given to the advisability of modifying 
certain features with respect to the enforcement of the Nursery Stock, Plant, 
and Seed Quarantine No. 37. 
As indicated in a statement issued July 20, 1933, it now seems advisable to 
reexamine the underlying principles involved in the interpretation and enforce- 
ment of the quarantine in question. At this conference it is specifically pro- 
posed to give consideration to the following subjects in reference to the im- 
portation of plants under permit: The elimination of consideration of the 
availability of plants in this country ; limitation to be placed on the number 
of plants which may be imported by reason of facilities for adequate inspection ; 
value of considering horticultural qualifications of the applicants in the issu- 
ance of permits; desirability of continuing to hold certain plants for 2 or 
more years before release ; the advisability of providing for the inspection of 
imported plants at New York and certain other ports of entry rather than 
shipping them to Washington as at present; and such other pertinent items 
as may be brought up. 
Any person interested in the changes under consideration may appear at 
this public conference and be heard either in person or by attorney. 
Lee A. Strong, Chief of Bureau. 
ANNOUNCEMENTS RELATING TO PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE 
(NO. 52) 
REVISION OF REGULATIONS 
Introductory Note 
The following revision of the pink-bollworm-quarantine regulations makes no 
addition to the areas formerly under regulation. The regulated areas are, 
however, now divided into heavily infested areas and lightly infested areas. 
The heavily infested areas consist of the counties of Brewster, Culberson, Jeff 
Davis, Presidio, Terrell, and a portion of Hudspeth in the State of Texas. The 
remaining counties in Texas, as well as those under regulation in Arizona, 
Florida, and New Mexico, are designated as lightly infested areas. The measures 
of control and prevention of spread of the pink bollworm remain substantially 
unchanged. 
SUMMARY 
The regulated areas under this revision include 5 counties of southern Ari- 
zona, 6 counties of north-central Florida, 7 counties of southern New Mexico, 
and 10 counties of western Texas. Of this area, 5 counties and part of an addi- 
tional county of 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 G.) 
Cottonseed, cotton lint, cottonseed hulls, cake, and meal, and bagging, wrap- 
pers, and containers which have been used for cotton products must not be 
transported interstate from any regulated area except under permit. Cottonseed 
produced in the heavily infested area must not be moved interstate therefrom
