IN MASTERTON ORCHARDS,
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
MASTERTON, November 29
Fireblight lias now appeared in many orchards in Mnsterton, and it is reported also in some other parts of the Wairarapa district. The Government Orchard Instructor, operating in this district with an assistant, is now compiling a register of all the properties in the Wairarapa fireblight area on which any hawthorn is growing. As soon as this register has been completed an official inspection will be made of all .tlie orchards, and, if necessary, compulsory and penal • powers relating to",the cutting out of diseased growth; particularly fireblight cankers, will bo enforced. As far as can he ascertained tlie owners of the orchards are very willingly carrying out the advice of the Government experts in regard to cut-! ting out and destroying the portions I of their trees stricken with fireblight. In Greytown, where fireblight has been appearing for some years past, its ravages have been confined within narrow limits by the prompt cuttings out of diseased' growth.
