IFRUIT FLY FOUND INFEST
ING NEW POINTS DAILY
WASHINGTON.—Federal officials
vworking to check the Mediterranean
Ifruif fly say new points of infestation
iare found daily in Florida.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
irevised the quarantine to make it
loossible to regulate any new area im
imediately.
The revision provides, furthermore,
t'hat no host fruits or vegetables
ishipped from Florida into Northern
.-and Northeastern .States may be re
tshipped to territory in the South and
’West, wheme direct direct shipment
tfrom Florida is already prohibited.
That means no product from Flor
ida, likely to carry the Ay, can be
ishipped to New York or some other
-such State and then reshipped or
(otherwise transported to Alabama, io
iAr.zona, Arkansas, California, Geor
gia, Idaho, Lovysiap^, Mississippi. Ne
wada, New Mexico', North Carolina,
'Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington
jand Porto Rico.
All of the main citrus area in the
ecentral section of Florida is infested
tfrom coast to coast, but infestation in
tthe outer points is still in the incipi
ent stage and probably the result of
ifruit being moved from the original
ipoints of infestation.
Twelve counties are known to have
orchard infestation. They are Orange, i
'Volusia, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Put
mam, Sumter and Hillsborough.
Perhaps 75 per cent or more of the
^Florida citrus crop was moved out |
Ibefore the fly was discovered, being
ishipped from the Orlando section,1
-which is believed to be the original
point of infestation. Fly-infested j
ifruit has been found in markets in :
'Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,!
V
North Carolina, Ohio, and in New
York City.
Orchard infestation is said to be
confined to Florida. Officials deny
any known infestation in Georgia,
where the peach crop soo nis to be
harvested. Wherever the pest may
appear, the government is ready by
virtue of its revised quarantine to act
immediately far its supervision.
All States in which th efly is of
particular danger have entered into a
vigorous campaign to ferret out all
Florida fruit and destroy any found
to be infested. They are cleaning up
dumps and other places where the
larvae might be hiding to prevent
local infestation.
