During the past two or three weeks a fair quantity of potatoes have been shipped to Svdney, the quality of the tub-.-rs being certified by the local acting Government grain grader. Some of these potatoes have readied Sydney and have been duly admitted on thir officer's but another lot ol some 200 or 300 sacks has been held up, and it is alleged that Mr. T. W. Kirk.' the Government Biologist, has vfirad to the Federal Government not to admit New Zealand potatoes on thu-offP-cr's certificate in future. Communications between Mr. Moss, of Messrs Shieland Co., and Mr. Kick, have elicited a statement: that the grain grader has no standing in regard to potatoes, and that Mr. Kirk could do nothing with reference to the shipment held up in Australia. It is stated that potatoes shipped to Australia will have to be passed m New Zealand by an inspector appointed under the Orchards and Gardens Diseases Act.
