Blackberries, which have spread to a great extent upon the waste lands and also upon good lands during the past few years (says the Greymouth Star), are threatened to be wiped out through the ravages of a grub of the caterpillar species, which hag taken charge of the luscious weed in the northern part of the Grey Valley. At Ikamatua there is abundant evidence of the destruction made by the grub on the blackberry. The form of attack seems to be for the grub to take possession of the shoots and destroy the extremities. Large numbers of one-time extensive clumps, with hungry feeders, have been seen bearing the decided signs of decay and defeat by the tinv grub.
