• v My experience of the blackberry pest," says Mr A. Lucas, of Otford (New South Wales) "convinces me that all remedies generally recommended, such as spraying with arsenate of soda, eating down with the goats, cutting and burning off, and chipping, are a waste of time and labor. I have found paspalum grass to be an effective agent of eradication. It has a large matting root, and in three years it will choke any blackberry vines out. It gives the runners no chance to grip. It is also good feed for cattle, and there is not much fear of it firing in hot weather. My system is to transplant young plants raised from seed after a shower of rain, dig out a blackberry and in its place put a root of pasalum with a little soil feet, it will be sure to take."
