JAPANESE BEETLE ADMINISTRATIVE
INSTRUCTIONS MODIFIED

Introductory note. It has been found as a result of additional experiments with treatments for freeing nursery stock and potted plants from the immature stages of the Japanese beetle that the methyl bromide fumigation treatments may be further modified. Accordingly these in structions provide for a temperature of 67 P. instead of 70 as heretofore, for the 2%-hour treatment with a 2-pound dosage; and for 73 under a 2-hour treatment with a IV2 -pound dosage. The diameter of the soil balls in all treat ments is placed at a maximum of 14
inches instead of 12 inches as hereto fore.
Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Chief of the Bureau of Entomol ogy and Plant Quarantine by 301.48-6, regulation 6 of the rules and regulations supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No.
