 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING 
 PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS 
 SHIPPED INTO THE STATE. 
 
 1. The Arizona Crop Pest Law requires that all 
 nursery stock shipped into Arizona from any other 
 state or county shall be prominently labeled with 
 the name and address of both the shipper and con¬ 
 signee, and shall be accompanied by a certificate 
 of inspection dated within one year, or a copy of 
 such certificate, by a duly authorized official of 
 the state or county in which said stock was grown. 
 All shipments from other states or counties into 
 the state, consisting of or containing plants, fruits, 
 vegetables, or seed, which were not grown in the 
 locality from which shipment was made, must, in 
 addition, specify where such plants or products 
 were grown. Shipments into the State of Arizona 
 shall conform to any rules or regulations promul¬ 
 gated by the Commission of Agriculture and Horti¬ 
 culture, (Sec. 9. Par. 3312). 
 
 2. It is required of common carriers that all 
 shipments of plants into the State of Arizona be 
 held and not delivered to consignee until inspected 
 by an Arizona Crop Pest Inspector and a certifi¬ 
 cate of release issued in each case to the common 
 carrier and to the consignee. All stock which is 
 found apparently free from insect pests and plant 
 diseases of all kinds is promptly released for 
 delivery.

 PLANT INSPECTION. 
 
 3. It is assumed that before shipments are sent 
 into the State of Arizona every practicable effort 
 has been made by the shipper to eliminate dis¬ 
 eased and insect infested trees and plants. Ari¬ 
 zona inspectors are not authorized to attempt to 
 separate out apparently uninfested trees or other 
 plants of the kinds which are found infested or 
 diseased in any degree or to attempt to treat such 
 trees or plants with few exceptions. Such excep¬ 
 tions include pests which are of common occur¬ 
 rence in the locality where the shipment is re¬ 
 ceived. 
 
 4. Certificates accompanying shipments stating 
 that certain infested trees or other plants have 
 been fumigated, dipped or otherwise treated with 
 insecticides are valueless in Arizona. 
 
 5. In addition to the prohibitions and restric¬ 
 tions imposed by the quarantine orders of the 
 Arizona Commission of Agriculture and Horticul¬ 
 ture, nurserymen should observe the quarantines

 3311. The inspectors are hereby author¬ 
 ized and it is their duty whenever the occa¬ 
 sion may arise, to enter in and upon any 
 premises, building, or place, where plants 
 may be growing, or vegetables, fruits, seeds 
 and agricultural products, or any article 
 connected with handling, packing and 
 shipping of the same, may be stored, for the 
 purpose of inspecting, or causing an inspec¬ 
 tion to be made to determine whether any 
 injurious pest is present. To this end, and 
 otherwise to carry out the provisions of 
 this chapter, said inspectors may open any 
 car, box, bundle, or package with the least 
 possible injury to property or business. 
 Whenever an i nspector discovers a pest 
 which is injurious to the agricultural or 
 horticultural interests of the state, and

 15 
 
 which it is. practicable to eradicate or sup¬ 
 press, he may, with the advice and under 
 direction of the entomologist or his assist¬ 
 ants, notify in writing the owner, owners or 
 person or persons in charge or in possession 
 of tho premises, buildings, or (places as 
 aforesaid, that the same are infested or con¬ 
 tain or harbor an injurious insect or other 
 pest, and said inspector may require such 
 person or persons to eradicate, destroy or 
 suppress such pest within a reasonable 
 specified time by means of the most eco¬ 
 nomical and effective method available. In 
 the case of the codling moth, this provision 
 shall apply to trees and orchards on, and in 
 which, infested fruit has been discovered by 
 the said inspector, or his predecessor, at any 
 time previous to the serving of the afore¬ 
 said notice. 
 
 Any and all such plants, fruit, vegetables, 
 seed, agricultural products or other articles, 
 infested by or harboring any injurious insect 
 or other pest are hereby adjudged and de¬ 
 clared to be a public nuisance and shall be 
 contraband pending action taken in compli¬ 
 ance with the aforesaid notice or action 
 taken by the inspector as herein authorized 
 and directed and shall remain contraband 
 until said nuisance is abated. Whenever any 
 such nuisance, practicable to abate, shall 
 exist within the jurisdiction of any inspector, 
 on the property of any non-resident, or any 
 property the owner or owners of which 
 cannot be found by the said inspector after 
 diligent search and publication of said notice 
 in the official newspaper of the county 
 where such nuisance exists, or on the prop¬ 
 erty of any owner or owners upon whom 
 notice aforesaid has been served, and who 
 shall refuse or neglect to abate the same, 
 or who shall in writing request the said in¬ 
 spector to take such action as may be neces- 
 
16 
 
 PLANT INSPECTION. 
 
 sary at his or their expense, it shall be the 
 duty of the inspector and he is hereby au¬ 
 thorized to cause said nuisance to be at 
 once abated in a summary manner, or to 
 take such steps towards the abatement of 
 the nuisance as the danger to agricultural 
 and horticultural interests and the welfare 
 of the community may require. Whenever 
 the circumstances require, the abatement of 
 such public nuisance may include the de¬ 
 struction of the plants, vegetables, fruit, 
 seed, agricultural products, or other articles, 
 infested by an injurious insect, or harboring 
 an injurious insect or other pest, or any 
 portion of any or all such articles as may 
 be necessary to the public interest. 
 
 The expense incurred in connection with 
 such action, unless voluntarily assumed by 
 the owner or owners of the aforesaid prop¬ 
 erty, shall be charged against the state, and 
 paid out of the fund authorized by this 
 chapter upon vouchers of the commission. 
 Except that when special provisions are 
 made for the eradication or control of speci¬ 
 fied pests, any and all such sums so paid, 
 shall be charged against the owner or 
 owners of the property and premises from 
 which such nuisance has been removed or 
 abated in the pursuance of this chapter and 
 shall be recovered by the state or county as 
 the case may be by a civil action against 
 such owner or owners. 
 
 In the case of the shipment of plants, 
 fruits, vegetables, seeds, or agricultural 
 products, or other articles received into the 
 State of Arizona from outside said state con¬ 
 forming to the requirements of the next sec¬ 
 tion and after due notice given as specified 
 in this chapter, the inspector detailed by 
 the commission for service at the station, 
 depot or other point where such shipment is 
 received, shall inspect the plants, fruits,

 17 
 
 vegetables, seed, agricultural products, or 
 other articles as soon as possible after re¬ 
 ceiving said notice. Upon completing the 
 inspection of a shipment, and finding it free 
 from any insect or other pests, the inspector 
 shall issue a certificate of release in dupli¬ 
 cate, the original to be given the common 
 carrier, or person or persons, bringing the 
 shipment into the state, and the duplicate 
 to be given to the consignee or person who 
 received and removes the shipment or por¬ 
 tion thereof from the premises where in¬ 
 spected. A special certificate of release 
 affecting only a portion of any shipment 
 may be issued when said shipment is found 
 to be infested in part, and owing to the 
 nature of the pest found therein, agricultural 
 and horticultural interests of the State of 
 Arizona or of the locality where received, 
 will not be endangered by authorizing, by 
 means of said special certificates, the de¬ 
 livery and removal of certain varieties or 
 kinds of plants, fruits, vegetables, seeds, 
 agricultural products, or articles contained 
 in said shipment. In the case of shipments 
 containing insects or other pests of common 
 occurrence in the State of Arizona, or in the 
 locality where received, or pests which for 
 any reason are known to be innocuous in 
 Arizona, or in the section of the state where 
 received, certificates of release may be is¬ 
 sued by a horticultural inspector in accord¬ 
 ance with specific instructions furnished 
 said inspector by the entomologist, and such 
 rules and restrictions as may be adopted 
 by the commission of agriculture and horti¬ 
 culture.

 states or countries into the state, consisting 
 of or containing plants, fruits, vegetables, or 
 seeds, which were not grown in the locality 
 from which shipment was made, must, in 
 addition, specify where such plants or prod¬

 In order to make more effective the provisions

 hereby ordered: 
 
 (a) That upon arrival at any common carrier

 Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Okla¬

 held intact and not delivered to consignee until 
 notice has been given to and certificate of release 
 received from the State Entomologist, Assistant 
 Entomologist or a Crop Pest Inspector. 
 
 (b) That the unloading or unnecessary moving, 
 by any person or persons, of carlot shipments of 
 emigrants goods from any of the states mentioned 
 in' the foregoing paragraph before a proper certifi¬ 
 cate of release has been received is prohibited. 
 
 (c) That where there is no local inspector des¬ 
 ignated to attend to inspections for the Commis¬ 
 sion of Agriculture and Horticulture notice of the 
 arrival of the shipment may be sent to the State 
 Entomologist' in Phoenix by wire, the expense to 
 be borne by the state, and a telegraphic message 
 from the State Entomologist, or officer acting in 
 charge, authorizing the release of the shipment 
 may be accepted and filed by the common carrier 
 agent in lieu of the customary certificate of re¬ 
 lease. 
 
 REGULATION No. 4. 
 
 Grown Gall. 
 
 Since “crown gall” is of common occurrence in 
 all parts of the country, occurring in practically 
 all nurseries, particularly in the west, since this 
 disease is already prevalent in Arizona and since 
 it is impossible by means of inspection to entirely 
 prevent further introduction of the infection, one 
 per cent is hereby established as the maximum 
 degree of infection to be passed by the Arizona 
 Crop Pest Inspectors in the case of all nursery 
 stock, with the exception of apple trees, in which 
 case five per cent is hereby established as the 
 standard. Every tree or plant showing crown gall 
 
PLANT INSPECTION. 
 
 41 
 
 will bfe discarded by tlie inspectors, if more than 
 the above stated maximum percentage of trees of 
 any kind (apple or peach for instance) is plainly 
 infected with crown gall, all of that kind will be 
 rejected and not released. Such of other kinds of 
 trees or plants as may be in the same shipment, 
 but do not show crowm gall infection to exceed 
 the above specified allowance will be released. If 
 the shipment, or any kind of plant or tree com¬ 
 prising the shipment, shows infection in excess of 
 the allowance specified herein, samples selected in 
 the presence of the consignee or some other person 
 if possible, will be submitted to the office of the 
 State Entomologist and the remainder of the dis¬ 
 eased stock held for advices from the owner as to 
 option specified in Section 15 Crop Pest Law of 
 1912. When crown gall infection is present, but 
 not in excess of the above specified allowance, all 
 the diseased trees or plants must be burned, as a 
 condition of the issuance of the release for the 
 balance of the stock. In cases where there are less 
 than 100 trees or plants of any one kind inspectors 
 will use their best judgment according to circum¬ 
 stances, since it is not intended that an otherwise 
 apparently good lot of trees or other plants should 
 necessarily be condemned on account of a single 
 infected one. 
 
 For the protection of the consignee, trees that 
 are “strongly suspected” of crown gall infection 
 will be discarded at the time of the inspection, but 
 in figuring the percentage of trees infected when 
 the amount is close to one per cent, or to five per 
 cent in the case of apple stock, none but well de¬ 
 veloped and characteristic infections will be 
 counted. Roughened graft unions should not be 
 counted as crown gall infections unless the de¬ 
 velopment of “callus” at that point is excessive, as 
 illustrated in Bui. 186 (Plate VIII, fig. 2) of the 
 Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Depart¬ 
 ment of Agriculture. Whenever a shipment, or 
 any kind of tree, vine or plant in a shipment, shows 
 well defined crown gall infection in excess of the 
 
42 
 
 PLANT INSPECTION. 
 
 above specified allowance, such stock will not be 
 reshipped or destroyed on account of crown gall 
 infection until samples have been passed upon by 
 the State Entomologist or the Plant Pathologist of 
 the Commission. 
 
 REGULATION No. 5. 
 
 Defoliation for Protection Against White Flies. 
 
 Inasmuch as the several species of white flies 
 (insect family Aleyrodidae) destructive to citrus 
 infest the foliage of a long list of food plants which 
 is constantly being added to as information con¬ 
 cerning these pests increases, and inasmuch as the 
 most prominent species, known as the citrus white 
 fly, is of wide occurrence out of doors throughout 
 the Gulf Coast states and in greenhouses in nearly 
 all parts of the country, Arizona Crop Inspectors 
 are instructed to completely defoliate, before issu¬ 
 ing a release, all nursery stock and other plants 
 with leaves attached which may be imported into 
 the state from any outside source except in the 
 case of shipments from the state of California, in 
 which case any nursery stock or other plants not. 
 prohibited by quarantine orders and shipped from 
 any county other than Yuba may be released with 
 foliage attached after inspection, and with the fur¬ 
 ther exception that herbaceous ornamental plants 
 not known as food plants of citrus infesting white 
 flies and plants whose value would be impaired by 
 defoliation may be released with the leaves at¬ 
 tached, if after the usual inspection they are found 
 apparently free from pests of all kinds. All leaves 
 removed from plants in accordance with these in¬ 
 structions shall be immediately burned. Inspectors 
 will be guided by instructions from the State Ento¬ 
 mologist in regard to plants known to be food 
 plants of citrus infesting white flies.

 All postmasters are therefore informed that 
 packages containing plants or plant products 
 addressed to places in the State of Arizona 
 may be accepted for mailing only when 
 plainly marked so that the contents may be 
 readily ascertained by an inspection of the 
 outside thereof. The law makes the failure 
 so to mark such packages an offense pun¬ 
 ishable by a fine of not more than $100. 
 
 The plants and plant products subject to 
 terminal inspection in the State of Arizona 
 are described as follows: 
 
 “All florists’ stock, trees, shrubs, vines, 
 cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, fruit pits, and 
 other seeds of fruit and ornamental trees or
