TO CONSIDER EXTENDING GYPSY-MOTH QUARANTINE 
A public hearing to consider the advisability of extending 
the gypsy moth quarantine to the States of New York and New 
Jersey will be held by the Federal Horticultural Board of the 
United States Department of Agriciilture at its offices in Wash¬ 
ington, D. C., May 2S. Any person interested in the proposed 
action may appear and be heard either in person or by attorney. 
For a number of years the New England States have been un¬ 
der a Federal quarantine on account of the gypsy moth, which 
is a very destructive insect enemy of ornamental and forest 
trees, flowers and shrubs. All products likely to carry the pest 
to other places outside the infested areas can be moved only 
under strict regulations. The moth has been present in New 
Jersey for several years, but a quarantine by the State enforced 
in cooperation with the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture has effectively kept the insect in check. Now the motli 
has made its appearance in New York at several places juHb 
across the New England border. 
In connection with the hearing, it is proposed to consider also 
any necessary extensions or modifications of the existing quar¬ 
antine on account of the brown-tail moth, another New England 
pest.
