FIRE BLIGHT
NONE IN AUSTRALIA PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, September 29. (Received September 29, at 9.25 a.m.) Mr Herrod. secretary of the Fruitgrowers’ Federation of New South Wales, replying to a report from Wellington of an agitation by New Zealand fruitgrowers to secure the admission of New Zealand fruit to the Australian markets, says: “ This ban is not on account of trade reasons, but because of the danger of the introduction of bacterial blight, which is more commonly known as fire blight. Any proposal to lift the embargo would be most strenuously opposed ey fruitgrowers throughout the length and breadth of the Commonwealth. Fortunately Australia is free from the fireblight disease, and every possible care must be taken to ensure that it does not secure entry. It is desired to emphasise that the embargo is not placed against the importation of New Zealand fruit as such, but against all countries in which fireblight exists.”
