The fact has been determined by the State

disease of chestnut trees known as chestnut
bark disease (Endothia parasitica Murr.), new
to and not known to exist in the state of Cali-

readilv be transported on nursery stock.
Therefore, all state quarantine guardians are
hereby urged to be especially diligent in exam-
ining chestnut trees imported into the state of
California. :
The following description taken from the
Year Book of the Department of Agriculture
for 1912 is here quoted for guidance at time

of making inspection of imported chestnut pay
trees: diseases.
“Nursery trees affected by the bark disease
rarely show it prominently at the time when
thev are shipped; the threads of conidia or the
yellow or orange pustules are rarely present,
and usually all the inspector can find is a small,
slightly depressed, dark-colored area of dead
bark, usually near the ground, which is easily
overlooked or mistaken for some insignificant
injury. Upon cutting into such a spot the
inner bark shows a most characteristic disor-
ganized ‘punky’ appearance auite different
from that of any other bark injury. Occasion-
allv a yellowish brown or reddish band or
blotch, either girdling or partly girdling the
young tree, may be seen, which is very charac-
teristic.”
All state quarantine guardians are hereby
requested to segregate and hold any and all
chestnut trees showing symptoms as described
- above, and forward samples in tight containers
to the Quarantine Office at San Francisco for
determination.

RELATING TO THE TERMINAL INSPECTION
OF PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS.
ORDER OF THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.
OFFICE OF THE PosTMASTER GENERAL,
OrveER No. 8760. WASHINGTON, April 2, 1915.
The Postal Laws and Regulations, -edition of 1913,
are amended by the addition of the following, as
section 478%:
Sec. 478%. (a) When any state shall provide for
terminal inspection of plants and plant products, and
shall establish and maintain, at the sole expense of the
state, such inspection at one or more places therein,
the proper officials of said state may submit to the
Secretary of Agriculture a list of plants and plant
products and the plant pests transmitted thereby, that
in the opinion of said officials should be subject to
terminal inspection in order to prevent the introduc-
tion or dissemination in said state of pests injurious
to agriculture. Upon his approval of said list, in
whole or in part, the Secretary of Agriculture shall
transmit the same to the Postmaster General, and
thereafter all packages containing any plants or plant
products named in said approved lists shall, upon pay-
ment of postage therefor, be forwarded by the post-
master at the destination of said package to the proper
state official at the nearest place where inspection is
maintained. If the plant or plant products are found
upon inspection to be free from injurious pests, or if
infected shall be disinfected by said official, they shall
upon payment of postage therefor be returned to the
postmaster at the place of inspection to be forwarded
to the person to whom they are addressed; but if
found to be infected with injurious pests and in-
capable of satisfactory disinfection the state inspector
shall so notify the postmaster at the place of inspec-
tion, who shall promptly notify the sender of said
plants or plant products that they will be returned to
him upon his request and at his expense, or in default
of such request that they will be turned over to the
cy ee for destruction. (Act of March 4,
1915.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or
corporation to deposit in the United States mails any
package containing any plant or plant product ad-
dressed to any place within a state maintaining in-
spection thereof, as herein defined, without plainly
APPENDIX. 119
marking the package so that its contents may be
readily ascertained by an inspection of the outside
thereof. Whoever shall fail to so mark said packages
