Fruit.
Mr G. H. Grapes wrote a short time ago to the Post a letter on Fruit Export, part of which we reproduce bearing on the Codlin Moth queation :— Another drawback is thai; £ when the correct varieties are planted there exists no guarantee that the codlin moth will allow us to harvest; the crop. To remedy this, some Noxious Insects Act should he passed by the Legislature to prevent the spread of the scourge. As long as such enactment is delayed, so long will bona fide fruit-growers be deterred from embarking upon sound commercial fruit culture. It is only by growing fruit upon strictly business and modern lines that we oan ever hope to establish a paving export trade. Such a trade, by creating a return flow of British gold, would benefit every taxpayer in the colony.
