STATEMENT BY AN INSPECTOR.
(By ToleffrapU—Press Association.) Hastings, May 12. Writing to tho "Tribune" with reference to tho causa of bitter pit in apples, Mr. F. E. Nottage, inspector of orchards for Hawke's Bay, mentions two facts which appear on the surface largely to discount the value of the theory advanced by Dr. Jean White and Professor Evrart, of Melbourne University. They are: (1) In Western Australia, where the codlin moth is unknown and arsenical spraying has never been resorted to, bitter pit is alarmingly, prevalent, and occasions great loss to fruit-growers every year; (2) in his travels around the orchards of tho Dominion during the past four years ho frequently "noticed bitter pit on trees which had never been sprayed for the control of codliu moth or any other pest. Mr. Nottage is a practical grower of many years' experience.
