Florida Produce

frutt and produce from Florida ap
peared imminent after an Agri

Such a quarantine waa urged by
Florida witnesses and others as

ranean fruit fly. The fly was dis
covered recently in Miami.
Ed L. Ayers, Florida Plant Com
missioner. said after conclusion of
the hearing there is "no question"
but that the quarantine will be im
posed. He said he expected it
would go into effect about May 19.
Ayers and other representatives
of the fruit and vegetable growers
of Florida arranged to meet with
department officials this afternoon
to discuss details of such a quar
antine.
Under such a quarantine, fruit
and vegetables could be shipped
out of the state after being certi
fied as free of the fruit fly.
The fly was discovered April 21
in Miami and is now reported con
fined to a 20 square mile area of
Dade and Broward counties ? at
the fringe of the commercial cit
rus belt.
Ayers said: "We are very much
in favor of Uiia federal quarantine
aa a protection to our atate and
other state*."
