FIRE BLIGHT IN OTAGO AN ERRONEOUS REPORT. • A recant Press Association message appeared in the daily Press stating that ■' "flrebllghl?' was prevalent in hawthorn . hedges in the Taiori district. The Department of Agriculture is de- "■ irirous that this erroneous statement ' should be contradicted wiilhout delay, as it has been the'cause of great anxiety to' fruitgrowers in the south. An investigation by the orchard instrucibr of the Otngo district has shown that damage caused by wood borers has been mistaken ■' . for firoblight. Tip to the present time \ there have been no outbreaks of fireblight south of the Auckland land dis- , tiiot. , ( : FREEZING WORKS OPEN Br Trt«rra»l>—Fross Apsoeiatlom. I Felldlng, December 30.
