PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS ENTERED FOR IMMEDIATE EXPORTATION OR FOR 
TRANSPORTATION AND EXPORTATION 
In addition to plants and plant products affected by the plant quarantines 
and regulatory orders of the Department which are offered for consumption 
entry, many products are offered for transportation in bond through the United 
States and are exported through other ports. Among these are large shipments 
of Mexican fruits and vegetables entered through Mexican-border ports and 
exported through ports along the Canadian border. Other shipments arrive at 
United States ports of entry and are immediately exported therefrom when 
transportation to their foreign destination is available. Among the products 
offered for transportation and exportation or for immediate exportation during 
the year were 117 shipments of nursery stock ; 196,424 bales of cotton lint, 
linters, and waste; 687 bales of bagging; 17,389,947 pounds of cottonseed cake 
and meal; 25.600 pounds of wheat; 3,313,464 pounds of corn; and 58,145,231 
pounds of fruits and vegetables. 
With respect to the importation of fruits and vegetables, it should be stated 
that many shipments which are offered for transportation and exportation in 
bond are later diverted to points in the United States where consumption entry 
is made. For that reason shipments of this character require the same care 
in inspection as shipments offered for consumption entry. 
DISINFECTION 
Disinfection is required of certain commodities as a condition of entry and 
of other commodities when inspection reveals the presence of injurious insects 
or plant diseases. During the year the following plant material was treated 
under supervision of inspectors of this Bureau : Cotton. 235,408 bales ; cotton 
waste, 117,898 bales ; cotton linters, 68,284 bales ; parcels of cotton, cotton waste, 
and bagging, 3,269; bagging, 554 bales; rags contaminated with cottonseed, 
1,055 bales : broomcorn, 10,336 bales ; rice fiber. 2,116 bales ; chestnuts, 1,794 
cases ; cipoUini, 108 cases ; corn, 1,000 sacks ; vetch seed, 5,877 sacks ; other seeds, 
88 containers; miscellaneous plants, 598 lots; narcissus bulbs, 371,939; and

In addition to the above, various shipments of plant material and cotton 
samples were treated at the inspection house in Washington, D. C as shown 
in table 27.
