NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 48 (ELEVENTH REVISION) 
{Approved Mar. 7, 1936 ; effective Mar. 16, 1936) 
I, R. G. Tugwell, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that 
it is necessary to quarantine the States of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, 
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Penn- 
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia, and the District 
of Columbia, to prevent the spread of the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica 
Newm.), a dangerous insect new to and not heretofore widely prevalent or 
distributed within and throughout the United States. 
Now, therefore, under authority conferred by section 8 of the Plant Quaran- 
tine Act of August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of Congress 
approved March 4, 1917 (39 Stat. 1134, 1165), and having duly given the public 
hearing required thereby, I do quarantine the said States of Connecticut, Dela- 
ware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New 
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia, and 
the District of Columbia, effective on and after March 16, 1936. Hereafter, 
under the authority of said act of August 20, 1912, amended as aforesaid (1) 
fruits and vegetables ; (2) nursery, ornamental, and greenhouse stock, and other 
plants ; and (3) sand, soil, earth, peat, compost, and manure shall not be shipped, 
offered for shipment to a common carrier, received for transportation or trans- 
ported by a common carrier, or carried, transported, moved, or allowed to be 
moved from any of said quarantined States or District into or through any 
other State or Territory or District of the United States in manner or method 
or under conditions other than those prescribed in the rules and regulations 
hereinafter made and amendments thereto: Povided, That the restrictions of 
this quarantine and of the rules and regulations supplemental thereto may be 
limited to the areas in a quarantined State now, or which may hereafter be, 
designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as regulated areas when, in the 
judgment of the Secretary of Agriculture, the enforcement of the aforesaid 
rules and regulations as to such regulated areas shall be adequate to prevent the 
spread of the Japanese beetle : Provided further, That such limitations shall be 
conditioned upon the said State providing for and enforcing such control meas- 
ures with respect to such regulated areas as, in the judgment of the Secretary 
of Agriculture, shall be deemed adequate to prevent the spread of the Japanese 
beetle therefrom to other parts of the State : And provided further, That certain 
articles classed as restricted herein may, because of the nature of their growth 
or production or their manufactured or processed condition, be exempted by 
administrative instructions issued by the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine when, in his judgment, such articles are considered 
Innocuous as carriers of infestation. 
Done at the city of Washington this 7th day of March 1936. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States Department 
of Agriculture. 
R. G. Tugwell, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
