BRAINS TRUST ON HORTICULTURE
Canterbury Branch Of Institute Meets
The use of wrong sprays, such as lime sulphur, could cause scrubby, cracked apricots, Mr J. Coombe told a meeting of the Canterbury branch of the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture. Mr Coombe was a member of a four-man brains trust which was answering qusetions put by members of the branch. Mr J. H. Glazebrook presided. The quiz-master for the brains trust was Professor L. W. McCaskill, and the trust comprised Messrs M. J. Barnett, J. Coombe, H. W. Gourlay, and Glazebrook. Asked how oxalis should be eliminated, Mr Glazebrook said that if the oxalis was established, there was no satisfactory selective method of killing it. Methods suggested included the use of a chemical steriliser on the ground and the establishment of a lawn which, said Mr Glazebrook, should be well mowed for several years. Awards and prizes, presented by Mr Barnett, were.—Junior certificate, Graeme Patterson; intermediate certificate. Ellaby Martin; J. A. Campbell Memorial Prize, Ellaby Martin; the prize commemorating apprentices and journeymen killed in the Second World War, Roger Millichamp.
