LOSING THEIR LEAF
BLACKBERRY ON PLAINS
LITTLE USE' SIPRAYING TO-DAY “Seven inquiries were received in regard to having blackberry treated. Inspections were made and in one.case some spraying was done, but owing to changeable weather the job was not completed. I think it advisable to hold off any further work for at least three months as plants are rapidly losing their leaf, which lessens- effectiveness of spray,” • reported the noxious weeds inspector, Mr W. W. Williams, to the August meeting of the Hauraki Plains County Council. The report added: —
‘Gorse on west water reserve was attended to; I brought to the notice of owners small patches of gorse in various localities.
“I had spraying done on Waitakaruru canal and Piako river reserve under Government grant.”
Questioned, Mr Williams said he felt that farmers 1 were gradually getting noxious weeds- under control although some bad- patches would take time. He added that he was treating ragwort as- “public enemy No. 1.”
