It is probable that the new insectary at the Cawthron Institute, which has recently been built at a cost of £2OOO for the purpose of housing certain parasites which are to be used in experiments in the destruction of blackberry and ragwort, will be opened Dy Mr L. S. Amery, Secretary for Dominion Affairs, on December" 13th. The Imperial Marketing Committee made a donation of £I3OO towards the cost, and this was supplemented by £7OO from the Government. Messrs H. Attnore (Nelson) and R. P. Hudson (Motueka) hare been in communication with the Prime Minister with a view of securing a visit from Mr Amery for the purpose of opening the insectary, which is the first of its kind in Australia or New Zealand, and Mr Coates ha 3 submitted a provisional itinerary to Mr Amery. It is now practically assumed that Mr Amery will arrive in Nelson from the south at 3 p.m. on December 13th, for the purpose of opening the inscetary.
