ERADICATION OF THE QUEENSLAND FRUIT FLY.
[BT TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Napier, Tuesday. Mr. Boucher, Government nomologist, is very confident that he will be able to restrict the Queensland fruit fly to Napier, and ultimately eradicate it. Regarding the fruitgrowers' demands that all the fruit on the Napier hills be destroyed, Mr. Boucher says the law gives no power for any such step, and, furthermore, it would be inadvisable, for if there were no fruit on which to feed here the fly would spread to other districts, and it would then be impossible to restrict the operations of the pest.
