 SUMMARY  OF  STATE  NURSERY-STOCK  SHIPPING  REQUIREMENTS  AND  PLANT 
 QUARANTINES  AND  REGULATIONS  AFFECTING   INTERSTATE  SHIPMENTS 
 
 KANSAS 
 
 The  information  contained  in  this  summary  was  compiled  from  material 
 received  from  the  plant  quarantine  officials  of  Kansas  and  has  "been  ap- 
 proved by  them.   It  is  issued  for  the  convenience  of  plant  quarantine  in- 
 spectors, shippers,  transportation  agents,  truckers,  and  o there  concerned 
 in  the  interstate  movement  of  plants,  plant  products,  and  other  materials 
 subject  to  State  regulation  on  account  of  plant  pests. 
 
 The  summary  for  Kansas  gives  the  general  requirements  for  shipping 
 nursery  stock  into  that  State,  as  well  as  digests  of  the  State  plant  quar- 
 antines and  regulations  affecting  interstate  shipments.   An  appendix  fur- 
 nishes information  on  post-office  requirements  for  mailing  plants  as  well 
 as  terminal-inspection  procedure.   This  summary  does  not  include  digests 
 of  nursery- stock  or  plant-quarantine  requirements  relating  to  the  movement 
 of  plants  entirely  within  the  State. 
 
 The  information  contained  in  this  circular  is  believed  to  be  correct 
 and  complete  up  to  the  time  of  preparation,  but  it  is  not  intended  to  be 
 used  independently  of  or  as  a  substitute  for  the  original  texts  of  the 
 regulations  and  quarantines,  and  it  is  not  to  be  interpreted  as  legally 
 authoritiative.   For  detailed  information  address  the  State  Entomologist, 
 State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Applied  Science,  Manhattan,  Kansas,  or 
 State  Entomologist,  University  of  Kansas,  Lawrence,  Kansas. 
 
 In  addition  to  State  requirements,  shippers  will  need  to  take  into 
 consideration  applicable  plant  quarantines  of  the  United  States  Department 
 of  Agriculture.   In  most  instances  these  quarantines  regulate  the  inter- 
 state movement  of  specified  plants,  plant  products,  and  other  articles 
 from  designated  regulated  areas.   However,  some  of  these  quarantines  regu- 
 late the  interstate  movement  of  certain  articles  into  designated  protected 
 areas.   Copies  of  such  quarantines  may  be  obtained  from  the  Bureau  of 
 Entomology  and  Plant  Quarantine,  Washington  25,  D.  C.
