CODLIN MOTH IN CANTERBURY.
The "Lyttelton Times" says that samples of apples, Golden Pearmairs, have been left at Mr Murphy's offise, Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association, the first he has seen, which he saya are, without doubt, affected with the codlin moth grub. Not only has the fruit been pierced m the orthodox fashion, and the pips consumed, but one of them contains the veritable grub. The fact of the grub being present at this late season of the year, gees far to establish the faot <hit thero are more than one cr two generations each aeaeoc, as has been proved to be the case m California. Time will tell at what rate the peßt will spread through an orchard. One thing is certain, that unless stringent Individual measures are promptly taken to stamp out the pest In its early stage, at least m Canterbury, it will surely make itself felt, at no distant .date, to the great detriment of the fruit Industry.
