INFESTATIONS OUTSIDE OF REGULATED AREA 
The discovery of nine incipient larval infestations and the trapping 
of flies in the counties of Webb. Dimmit, and La Salle necessitated 
making plans for including these comities in the regulated area. 
Citrus-fruit production in this territory is small in comparison with 
that in the regulated area, but it is scattered throughout the three 
counties.
