MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT-FLY QUARANTINE REVISED 
[Press notice] 
May 9, 1929. 
The Secretary of Agriculture to-day announced a revision of the rules and 
regulations supplemental to the Mediterranean fruit-fly quarantine. The re- 
vision becomes effective May 10. 
The changes and additions provide (1) for the holding of citrus fruit in approved 
cold-storage plants after June 15; (2) for the shipment of limes from Monroe 
and Dade Counties subsequent to June 15 ; (3) for the use of packing houses in 
lightly infested zones, when other facilities are absent, for the packing of fruit 
coming from the surrounding protective zones and adjacent points outside 
thereof; (4) for the interstate movement under permit of host fruits and vege- 
tables in dining cars, and (5) that bulk, mail, and automobile truck movement 
of host vegetables from any part of a quarantined State is prohibited. 
In view of the fact that the regulations under this quarantine which were 
approved on April 26, regulate the movement of all the fruits and vegetables 
of the State of Florida, it was anticipated that the first week of operation 
under the quarantine would reveal the need of certain modifications. This has 
proven to be the case and the revision is issued in order to make specific pro- 
vision for the control of certain classes of movement not adequately covered 
before.
