SYDNEY, May 6
A deputation of fruit-growers protested to the Minister of Agriculture against the Now Zealand regulations requiring c certificate declaring that citrus fruite, imported imto tho Dominion, had not 'been grown within a mile of any fruit fly infested spot.
The Minister stated that he bad written to the New Zealand Minister for Agriculture, suggesting that the resolutions of the Inter-State Fruit Conference might bo accepted by him, but had received no reply. While he did not desire to make threats, still if tho New Zealand Government was not reasonable in the matter, the Government of this State might try the same sort of method which had been tried successfully with Victoria. If a certificate that no fruit fly was present in a shipment was given that ought to satisfy New Zealand.
