Excerpt from Service and Regulatory Announcements: Agricultural Research Administration, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, January-March 1947 P. N. Annand, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, says that in many areas the Dutch elm disease is building up rapidly and in some sections the number of trees that have been killed are presenting serious problems of removal of dead shade trees. He continues that the revocation of the quaran tine does not mean the Bureau proposes to discontinue work on the disease. The enforcement of the quarantine has been a minor part of the program that.has been carried on during the last 3 years. The Bureau proposes to continue inspections to determine the areas where the disease occurs and to advise States of new finds.

The Bureau proposes to cooperate with States and aid them in carrying out such objectives, It will also work-closely with States and local communities where suppressive programs are conducted.
