QUEENSLAND FRUIT FLY.
In connection with the discovery of the dreaded Queensland fruit fly at Napier, Mr Boucher, Government pomologist, is very confident that he will be able to restrict the fly to Napier and ultimately eradicate it. Regarding the fruitgrowers' demands that all the fruit on the Napier hill be destroyed, Mr Boucher says the law gives no power for such a step, and, furthermore, it would be inadvisable, for if there were no fruit on which to feed here, the fly would spread to other districts, and it would then be impossible to restrict the operations of the pest.
