GRASS-GRUB PLAGUE
Grass-grubs threaten to drive a Taranaki nurseryman from a property of five acres which has been providing him with a good livelihood. The pest has devoured the roots of practically every plant on the property, and every effort has failed to desrtoy the grubs. Eight thousand two-year-old macrocarpa trees are withered and dying, as well as other trees and flowers. The nurseryman applied to the Plant Research Station at Palmerston North for help, but was informed that there is no known remedy.
