"Tho visiting northerner gets quite a shock to see the ravages of blackberry throughout Westland, and to see it would break the heart of our local farmers," remarked Mr M. Cohen to a Palmerston North Standard reporter when describing bis visit to the West Coast. The Westlandor disposes of tho situation by claiming that the.ro are only two blackberry bushes in Westland.
