Parasite on Blackberries.
A farmer at Belgrove, Nelson, Mi\ E. C. Hoult, has exhibited a branch of blackberry which was considerably affected -by a yellow-coloured powdery I substance on the reverse side of the leaves. Mr. Hoult has noticed the growing effect of the substance on blackberries in the Belgrove district for four years, and his observations are that the older leaves ara attacked hardest and the seeds are prevented from maturing. No bushes have been noticed to dte out, but many become very sickly. Mr. Hoult considers that the blight is similar to that reported by Mr. J. H. James, of Saies, North Auckland, where the yellowish powder is spreading rapidly on the blackberry. The leaves first show small yellowish spots, and the underneath become covered with a yellow powdery infection. A farmer in the Te Puna district states that when clearing blackberry on his property he noticed the same infection. ,
