Quarantine Bans Malaga Grapes From Spain Over Fly Infestation
Washington announces a January 18 1924 ban on importing Malaga grapes from Spain after findings of Mediterranean fruit fly infestation. The action tightens rules for Vinifera grapes, requiring evidence they are pest free, and follows inspections that confirmed maggots yielding adult flies. About 350000 barrels were destined for export this year, with most entering before the ban.

New York Trade Surprised by Spanish Grape Embargo
New York merchants toured Washington January 4 to contest a sudden ban on Spanish grapes entering the United States after January 18. The eight member committee, including Goodsell Brown & Seccomb Stokes Romay Cortes Ballester Mahoney, plans a rehearing request, arguing the rule is too drastic. They offered to limit sales west of Omaha or south of Baltimore or to send inspectors at importers’ expense to supplier sites to satisfy federal concerns. The upset may portend limits on other foreign fruits and onions.
