AMENDMENTS
PROMULCATED
Two OF Fruit Fly Quarantine
Made Effective I'm
mediately
Especial to The Herald)

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Two
administrative amendments to the
Mediterranean fruit fly quarantine
have been promulgated by the sec
rotary Of agriculture. Arthur M.
Hyde. and made effective imme-
diately. The full text of the de-
partment's statement follows:
One of these provides for move
nlent of interstate or foreign fruits
and vegetables entering the United
States through Florida ports. The
other extends the time for the
shipment interstate of non-citrus
fruits and host vegetables from
protective zones In Florida up to
and including June Is. with special
provision for shipping grapes up to
June 80. 1929.
The provision for entry OF for
eign fruits and vegetables. chiefly
bananas. at Florida ports. Is to cor
rect an Interpretation Of the quar-
antine as prohibiting movement Of
all fruits out OF the state except in
accordance with certain restrictions
as to destination and date. These
restrictions were intended to apply
only TO fruit Of Florida production.
The extension OF time for mar
keting vegetable crops grown In
the protective zones Of Florida is
necsesitated by the backward sea-
son. Such extension is impera-
tive If these crops are to be dis
tributed in commerce. "A similar
situation exists IN the case or the
crane crop.
This extension Of time applies
only TO areas in Florida designated
as protective zones. namely. zones
which are believed. as n result OF
intensive inspections. not to have
bene reached by the fruit flv. Such
action. II is commended. is further
justified BY the thorough cleanup
in all the infested areas In Florida
and In fact by the cooperation OF
all interests In the statewide
cleanup.
