CITRUS CANKER OUTBREAK
Department’s Plans To Check Spread
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 29.
The Department of Agriculture may have to send inspectors from other parts of New Zealand to check the spread of citrus canker which has been discovered in serious proportions in the Kohimarama suburbs of Auckland. So far in Kohimarama 20 householders will have to destroy about 100 citrus trees and canker is suspected in another 12 orchards.
The senior horticultural inspector in Auckland (Mr J. J. Hiam) said the trees would have to be rooted out and “burnt to the last leaf.”
