6-Month Host Free
Period in Florida
Area Promulgated
_
(Special to The Herald)
WASHINGTON. May 2—A six-month host free period will be estab
lished in the Mediterranean fruit fly infected areas of Florida under the
provisions of the quarantine regulations promulgated by the U. 8. de
partment of agriculture. Beginning in 1930 the host free period will start
May 1 of each year, the department announced.
Use of a fund of S4.250.ooo for ai
campaign to eradicate the pest was
voted by the house Friday, upon
the recommendation of President
Hoover and Secretary of Agriculture
Arthur M. Hyde. This will provide
ample funds to meet any emergency
that may arise, officials of the do
mestic quarantine division stated.

tions. it was explained by the de
partment, bring under restriction
the state of Foirlda as a whole, as
to all fruits and a limited number
of vegetables which also are hosts
to the fly. part of the fruit and
practically all of the vegetables will
be permitted to move out of the
state under what the department
terms adequate safeguards.
Three Types of Quarantine
For the purpose of this quaran
tine the state of Florida will fall
into three types of zones: namely
fl ► the Infested zones. (2» the pro
tective zones and <3‘ the state as a
whole outside of the two types
of zones.
Infested zones will Include the or
chards determined to have been
reached by the fly and surrounding
properties to a distance of at least
one mile. Within these zones all
fruits and vegetables are to be de
stroyed or processed and no more
are to be permitted to develop until
the zone is released from restriction.
The protective zones will include
all properties within nine miles, sur
rounding the infested zones. These
zones arc to be adjusted to natural
boundaries. Within each protective
zone all groves and all plantings
of host vegetables will be given in
tensive inspection but the fruits'and
vegetables will be allowed tc move
under certain safeguards and re
strictions in interstate commerce.
Within this zone, however, there will
be maintained a non-fruit period of
at least six months beginning on
May 1 each year, during which no
fruits or vegetables in a stage to
be attacked by the fly will be per
mitted to remain: in other words,
all fruits ripening on orchard trees
will be removed before they have
readied a stage to be attacked by
the fly and no vegetables are to be
planted which will mature during
the period. It is anticipated that
for the season 1929 host free condi
tions within the protective zones will

be complied with in full by the end
of May
Periods are Adjustable
This annual nonfruit period pre
cribed for the protective zones
will be subject to such adjustment
as may be necessary to meet any
seasonal variation and to meet any
needs of eradication which may de
velop. For the spring shipping sea
! son of 1929 shipments of citrus fruit
will not be moved from the pro
tective zone after May 31 nor from
I the rest of the state after June 15.
,The green citrus fruit of the new
crop will be permitted to develop
on the trees throughout the summer
period but is not expected to reach
a stage of deevlopment susceptible
to fruit fly attack until late fall.
This new crop will then be mar
keted under adequate precautions
during the winter months. The pro
tective zone is, therefore, in a sense
a buffer zone and will be a mate
rial part of the eradication.
All areas in the state outside of
these two tvpes of zones will be
under restriction for inspection and
certification of fruits, and such con
trol of host vegetable crops as may
be necessary to fully determine that
bv the fly has not spread to them.
All classes of fruits, except water
melons and pineapples, which latter
I are not known to be subject to at
tack. are under these restrictions.
The restrictions on vegetables relate
only to peppers, beans, tomatoes,
squashes, gourds a no eggplants.
Certain types of movement, in
cluding truck, mail, and bulk ship
ments. are prohibited altogether for
the reason that movements of this
kind involve a maximum of risk and
can not be adequately safeguarded
without great expense.
In addition to covering fruits and
vegetables, the federal quarantine
includes special restrictions on the
movement of sotl. earth, peat, com
, post and manure, fruit-packing
! equipment, and nursery stock. It is
(further provided that railway cars,
boats and other vehicles and con
tainers which have been used in
transporting restricted articles must
be thoroughly cleaned at the point
of unloading and fumigation may
also be required in special cases
i w hen necessary
Groves to Be Inspected
A state-wide inspection will be
made of all citrus groves and other
fruit plantings as well as of host
vegetables. Such surveys, together
' wtth the inspection and certifies
; tlon requirements of fruits and veg
: etabler, including the supervision of
i all packing houses and other places
handling or processing such fruit,
j will involve very large forces of
j men. Of necessity also rather in
tensive and wide surveys should be
undertaken in the neighboring states
of Georgia. Alabama. Mississippi,
etc., for the purpose of determining
whether there may have been any
J spread into these Stater, through the
agency particularly of the truck
fruit from Florida. This work is of
: such magnitude, it is believed, as
fully to warrant the making avail
able of the $4 250.000 item which \s

tion.

STORM TYPES

Wind Strikes Cities Over
Entire State) Snow And
Sleet In Panhandle
DALLAS. May 2——Texas to
day was recovering from almost
every type of stcrm known to the
i weather bureau. 8now, hall, sand
storms. electrical storms and winds
of tremendous velocity were among
the meteorologcal freaks which vis
jited the state yesterday.
Emogene Carr. 8 years old. and
Guy E. Hall suffered fractured
skulls near Lubbock and are in a
serious condition in a hospital there.
The girl was run down when the
driver of an automobile was blinded
in a standtsorm and Hall was
crushed under a concrete form
blown from a bridge under con
struction. Several negroes were re
ported seriously injured in East
Texas by debris from a collapsing
house.
Snow, sleet, wind, rain and hail
fell In me Panhandle in the vicinity
of Amarillo and Miami. The wind
swept across the state in a broad
band and almost everywhere the
sand and dust which it carried with
it were dense enough to constitute
a serious traffic menace. A hangar
was unroofed and an airplane dam
aged by a falling girder at Mid
land. Ballinger. Wichita Falls. Cor
sicana. Austin. Waco. Houston and
many other cities as widely scat
tered felt the force of the wind and
suffered slight damage.
In Dallas the gale reached a ve
locity of 68 miles an hour and in
the business district gravel from
tarred roofs fell like hail in spots.
