SUCCESS OF WAR ON WHITE BUTTERFLY
Cawthron Institute Congratulated
By Telegraph—Press Association.
CHRISTCHURCH, January 11. Hearty congratulations are to be sent to the Cawthron Institute on the success achieved in freeing Canterbury from the white butterfly pest. A decision to this effect was made by the North Canterbury provincial executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union on the motion of Mr. J. E. H. McGrath. “We know how bad the pest was last year and the improvement there is this year,” said Mr. McGrath, and his remarks were supported by the actingchairman, Mr. J. W. D. Hall, who said that paddocks which in the Christmas before last looked as if they were in a snowstorm were now comparatively free from white butterflies. Two or three might be seen but no more.
