WOOLLY APHIS.
COPING WITH THE PEST. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) NELSON, April 4. Iu connexion with the woolly aphis pest, Professor Easterfield, Director of the Cawthron Institute of Scientific Research, has announced that Dr. Tillyard obtained a number of insects from America which feed on the aphis. On Saturday afternoon it had been first noted that a number had hatched out, and that the •' oos at the Institute on which the exi-c.iment had been made were being rapidly cleared of the aphis. If the insects became properly established, they would greatly reduce the aphis trouble"throughout New Zealand. There was no chance of the insects attacking the trees after they had eaten all the aphis.
