ITI. QUARANTINE REGULATIONS. 
The word ‘‘ quarantine *’ is usually associated, in the minds of 
many people, with something unpleasant, but plant quarantines are 
as a rule only means of regulating the movement of plants. 
~ The Director of Agriculture may prohibit the movement within 
the Colony of any plant or seed which is diseased or which he may 
suspect of being diseased or likely to spread disease and he may 
prohibit for any prescribed period the growing of any plant or crop 
or variety thereof which he may consider likely to. hinder the 
prevention of the spread and the proper control of any disease or pest. 
Until recently, there has been no need to have any such 
quarantine but with the spread of mealy bug on coffee and the 
presence of mosaic disease on sugar cane in one of the sugar growing 
areas, the following notices regarding the movement of these plants, 
in certain areas, have been gazetted : 
“ No person shall move or cause to be moved any coffee plant 
from any of the districts of Ngong, Kyambu, Ruiru, Thika, or Fort 
Hall to any other part of the Colony or Protectorate : provided that 
nothing in this rule shall be construed as prohibiting the movement 
of coffee plants within or between the districts mentioned in this 
roles’ 
“ In view of the existence of mosaic disease on a number of 
farms in the Nyanza Province I hereby prohibit the movement of 
sugar cane or any part thereof from any farm situated within limits 
defined in the schedule hereto. 
Provided this prohibition shall not apply to: (a) sugar cane 
in transport direct to a mill for crushing. (b) sugar cane of the 
variety ‘ Uba.”
