PLANT QUARANTINE AND CONTROL ADMINISTRATION [April-June, 
festation of a single egg cluster in Fairfield, Conn., and of two egg clusters 
in Lee, Mass., were treated, but spraying in those towns was not considered 
necessary. In the New York section of the barrier-zone similar spraying op- 
erations were carried out by the State department of conservation. 
The inspection carried out in connection with quarantine enforcement con- 
tinues to show some infestation of forest products and stone and quarry 
products offered for interstate shipment, but no infestations have been dis- 
covered on such shipments of nursery stock and other evergreens. The de- 
tails of this work for the period from January 1 to June 30. 1929, are shown 
in Table 3.

EUROPEAN CORN-BORER-QUARANTINE ENFORCEMENT 
Active permit and inspection operations for the season started during June 
when the market inspection of vegetables was begun at Boston, and the New 
York City office opened for the issuance of permits for the redistribution of 
green corn grown outside the regulated area. Beets grown in eastern Massa- 
chusetts arrived rather badly infested and borers were also found in cut gladi- 
olus flowers. Slight infestation was reported in New England-grown beans. 
The infestation in the market-garden areas is most pronounced in the vicinity 
of Woburn, Arlington, Winchester, Dighton, and Somerset, Mass., and Newport 
and Bristol Counties, It. I. 
The products certified during the 6-month period from January 1 to June 30, 
1929, are shown in Tables 4 and 5, respectively.
