Speaking at last night’s lecture in the Masonic Hall, Mr A. Seifert said that when he was in America some time ago. complaints had been made to him about the “tails” on New Zealand fibre. Tie was pleased to say that millers had greatly improved their hemp in this respect now.

Referring to the Yellow Leaf disease which swept through the flax areas of this country some time ago, a I last night’s lecture, ATr A. Seifert said that some people held that the scourge had previously visited llax areas. Speaking from a life’s association with the (lax industry, he could say without fear of contradiction that that was not so. Yellow Leaf, however, would ultimate! v do good as millers would cultivate plants that were diseaseresisting. Some plants were naturally immune from the disease and these could be selected for the purpose.
