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.”
