BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE 19 
by many of the quarantining States. The Missouri quarantine was reissued 
effective July 10, 1933. The first revision of the Nebraska notice of quarantine 
was effective January 15, 1934. An Ohio corn borer quarantine against the 
2-generation form of the insect was promulgated on July 7, 1933. A revision 
of the Utah quarantine prohibiting the movement of carriers of the corn borer 
from infested States was issued August 5, 1933. The Washington State quaran- 
tine order pertaining to the corn borer was reissued in the same form on Julv 11, 
1933. 
Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, although infested with the 1 -generation form 
of the borer, uniformly restrict the movement into their boundaries of all classes 
of quarantined commodities from the New England States. New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, these 10 States being designated as infested 
with the 2-generation form. 
There now remain but six uninfested States (Alabama, Delaware, Minnesota, 
Montana, North Carolina, and North Dakota) which have taken no quarantine 
action to restrict the movement into their borders of likely carriers of the corn 
borer. 
In June 1934 a representative of the State Board of Agriculture of Utah agreed 
to accept Federal certification of articles usually eligible for certification under 
the customary form of State corn borer quarantine. Prior to this administrative 
action, the Utah quarantine had acted as a complete embargo against the entry 
into the State of articles designated in the regulatory order. With the Utah 
embargo restrictions modified, the Wyoming quarantine is now the only State 
order completely prohibiting the importation into the State of all classes of 
quarantined articles from States in both the 1-generation and 2-generation zones. 
Regulatory measures remained unchanged during the fiscal year as promulgated 
in the form of notices of quarantine, quarantine orders, proclamations, warnings, 
rules, and regulations, or revisions, modifications, or amendments thereof, by 
the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, 
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, 
New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Ten- 
nessee. Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. 
Commodities requiring certification for movement from the States uniformly 
regarded as infested with the 2-generation strain of the corn borer include, in 
most of the State quarantines, lima beans in the pod; green shell beans in the 
pod; beets with tops; rhubarb; cut flowers or entire plants of chrysanthemum 
and aster; and cut flowers or entire plants of gladiolus and dahlia, except the 
corms and tubers thereof, without stems. 
Articles designated in most of the State quarantines as requiring certification 
from all States commonly designated as infested with either strain of the borer, 
comprise the stalks, ears, cobs, or other part or debris of corn or broomcorn, 
sorghums, and Sudan grass, exeept clean shelled corn and the seeds of broomcorn, 
sorghum, and Sudan grass. 
Growers shipping plant material subject to either State or Federal certifi- 
cation under the State corn borer quarantine orders and regulations have in 
numerous instances expressed a decided preference for Federal inspection service. 
Some dealers have stated that Federal certification apparently carries with it 
a more official recognition of the measures growers take to rid their stock of 
infestation, and also elicits more interest on the part of the consignee receiving 
the material. The expeditious service rendered by Federal corn borer inspectors 
was als i cited as facilitating the movement of orders requiring certification. 
All State corn borer quarantine orders were reviewed during January and 
information contained in the quarantines tabulated in the form of a six-page 
mimeographed shipper's guide showing tlie requirements for shipments con- 
signed to Stales having quarantines on account i)( the borer. Copies of the 
shipper's guide were distributed to all growers or dealers known to be shipping 
quarantined commodities from infested States. hater, summaries of the current 
State quarantine regulations were compiled by the Division of Domestic Plant 
Quarantines in more detailed form and issued as circular B. P. Q. 346, revised 
March 15, L934. 
February and March seasonal declines in shipments of articles requiring 
Federal inspection permitted a Dumber of the inspectors to devote considerable 
time to transit-inspection work. Only such hours were spent in transit inspec- 
tion as could be spared without interference with regular inspection duties. 
Inspectors were thus available for transit inspection in Detroit, Cleveland, 
Pittsburgh, and New York City. In addition, during the trapping seasons in 
1933 and 1934, inspectors engaged exclusively on corn borer inspection work
