The deadly effect produced upon fish hv polluting streams with oil was emphasised by a letter received by the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. Writing from Alasterton. Hr J. G. Miller stated that in respect to the dead fish in Makara creek they were on the wrong side in supposing that the trouble was due to the Borough Council allowing disinfectants from street washing to reach the creek. The cause of the mortality was a lot of oil spilt in the new electric station, which is almost, over the creek. The secretary, Air C. I. Dasent. said that quiet a lot of trouble had already occurred through these Power Boards, and much more was likely to occur in the future. The Chairman, Air Tripp, said that they should outer a protest to the Wairarapa Power Board against pollution of the stream in this wav. Afr Dasent said that these boards had most arbitrary powers, and it was not likely that much satisfaction would be obtained from any ).roost. It was decided, nevertheless, to com mun icato with the Wairarapa Board on the matter.

A grub of a bluish-green colour, practically new to the Vaitomo County, has been discovered by Mr C. P. 11 ugouiii, of Waitete, in the stalks of ragwort. Tho grub apparently kills the weed, and there is the possibility that this may lie the means of cheeking the growth of the pest, it not eradicating it altogether. Tile grub is found in tin* centre of the stalk, and seems to work its way upward from the root, feeding on the pith of the plant. The lower part of the plant had no pith left, while the root was in a state of dry rot, which completely destroyed the plant. This grub is quite distinct from the ordinary caterpillar, which is also an enemy of ragwort, and it is much more efficacious in destroying the pest, says the Auckland “Star. Specimens have been sent to the Biological Department in Wellington. Ford Truck with chassis complete, in good going order, £lls in Greymoutli.
