40 ANNUAL KLPORTS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 193 5 
on the car from 28 uninfestod counties in the Southwestern pail Of Indiana. 
A safety BODG of uninfested counties is prescribed between : 
counties and counties which were wholly or partially under restriction prior 
to revocation of the Federal quarantine in 1932. 
An intrastate quarantine approved by the comm agriculture and 
immigration of Virginia on October 4. 1984, restricts the shipment of certain 
likely carriers i f C0«T1 borer infestation from Accomac and Northampton 
Counties to other parts of the State. Since extensive surveys failed to locate 
the pes <»n the mainland of Virginia, the quarantine is enf< reed to © 
the Infestation to the Eastern Shore counties. Lab r, en November 7. : 
the Virginia interstate quarantine was extended to b Delaware and 
Maryland among States designated as infested. 
On June .".. 1935, the Maine quarantine on account of this Insed tx 
effective. This quarantine regulates the shipment of vegetables, plant-. 
cut flowers of certain types of plants originating in the New Engla 
and shipped into the Slate of Maine. Shipments : were the 
principal ones affected by this quarantine. Tie -allel 
those enforced during 1034. 
In States Infested by the European corn borer and .7 le or 
gypsy moth, this Federal inspection was rendered by the permanent Lnsp< 
force. 'With the Japanese beetle and gypsy moth Inspection corps already 
covering all corn borer infested territory in the Middle Atlantic, X El -hind, 
and South Atlantic States, there remained but the eastern North G 
States in which it was necessary to station Inspectors assigned exclusively to 
corn borer certification. Inspectors in nonoverlapping territory were stationed 
in Detroit, Mich., Indianapolis, Ind., and Cleveland. Ohio. These thn 
specters were continuously occupied by their assignment to part-time transit 
inspection during the shipping seasons and to Japanese beetle trap suikt- 
vision in their districts during the shipping inactivity of the summer months. 
The time they devoted to trapping was compensated for by com borer certifi- 
cation performed by Japanese beetle inspectors. 
Within the Japanese beetle quarantined area demands for corn borer cer- 
tification on Long island were sufficient to warrant on. t devoting his 
time exclusively to this work. Most of the establishments in tins territory 
were nninfested by the Japanese beetle, so were entitled to beetle certifl 
in bulk. The volume of shipments from Long Island could not be met by an 
inspector maku g daily culls from the district Japanesi office in New 
York City. During the summer months, when shipments of dahlia tubers and 
other products requiring corn borer certification were at a minimum, the Long 
Island Inspector was transferred to Japanese beetle trap supervision, and such. 
corn borer certification as was necessary was availabl b the .la; 
mization. 
Eight additional appointed personnel carried on corn bor< e net 
assigned to dl n borer L work 
hut were Stationed where joint Japanese beetle and com borer 
ed part of the regular rout Lne. 
Supplementing routine Inspection visits to New Jersey i 
Federal and state coro borer certification, careful examinations were made 
from September to November 1884 for corn borer Infestation in 54 estal 
ments. All SI considerable portion ol Federal cor 
was jointly handled in New Jersey by the regular Japi 
force, which was maintained by allotments from these i larger 
establishments from 500 to 1,000 stalks of host plants were examined. On 
Bmaller plots all stalks in the vicinity were Included in the survey. Premises 
scouted Included representative nurseries in each of the 21 counties in the 
State, in the northern section of the state only one establishment, 
County, was f( and '■<> harbor an Infestation. Bach of six nurseries scouted in 
Monmouth County was found Infested. Dissection of Btalks of field and i 
corn grown on or near these premises Bhowed fr<>m 8 to 63 Infested stalks in 
100 Bt ' at each location. Larval population ranged from 1.2 to 
2.6 larvae per Infested Btalk. Nurseries ; in counties bordering the 
Del a 1 r wire nil found free from Infestation. Four out i Bix nursery
