HORNTAIL BORER'S ENEMY.
PARASITES IMPORTED.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) ' The first consignment of parasites for use against the horntail borer of pine trees have been received by the Cawthron Institute. The parasites, which arrived in excellent condition from England, were sent from the Farnham Royal Parasite Laboratory of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology.
The horntail borer is now established throughout New Zealand, and although not known to injure healthy trees, it is almost invariably found in weakened or damaged ones. The work of controlling this pest is part of an extensive campaign inaugurated by Dr. Miller for the protection of the ever-extending exotic forests of the Dominion.
