THE CODLIN MOTH BILL
[by TELEORArn.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Christchurch, Thursday. The Canterbury Fruitgrowers' Association approves of tho principle of tho Codlin Moth Bill, and suggests that the proposed tax should be levied on apples, quinces, and pears only. Ib considers that the only effectual method of checking the further spread of the insects is to prohibit the importation of fruit and trees from infected into clean districts ; that the importation of fruit and trees from Tasmania, Australia, and America should be prohibited, and that Parliament bo recommended to increaso the duty on imported fruit to Jjd per lb.
Dun-edtn, Thursday. At a meeting of local fruitgrowers a resolution was carried to strongly oppose the passage of the Codlin Moth Bill in the present form as being a most useless and offensive measure certain to cripple tho fruit industry in this part of the colony.
