CHILEAN SAW FLY
A determined effort to stamp out bid-a-bid in wool is to be made by Taranaki sheep farmers, who have raised £2OO, suflieient to purchase the whole of next year’s supplies of the Chilean saw fly from the collection to be made by Dr David Miller, of the Cawthron Institute. Reporting to the North Taranaki Executive of the Farmers’ Union last week, Mr W. Hardwick Smith said that he was not certain if Dr Miller would agree to Taranaki taking up the following year’s gathering of fly, for he might wish to let other lots go elsewhere. Dr Miller had said there was a limit to what could be done in one year, and that £2OO would be all that could be used during the collecting season from October to March, and he had promised that Taranaki would bo given all the flics collected in that period if the money were' found.
