KILLING BLACKBERRY
USE OF POISON! SPRAY HAMILTON, April 16. A letter was received by the Taupiri Drainage Board from a settler expressing the opinion that the cutting of blackberries was a wrong method of destroying the weed, as it only promoted growth the following season. The settler suggested that the blackberries should be killed by a poison spray.
Members of the board agreed with the writer’s views, and decided to adopt his suggestion. The board decided to supply the equipment and do the work, the cost to be defrayed by the owners of the land.
