BAN ON NEW ZEALAND FRUIT
FEAR OF BACTERIAL BLIGHT. United Press Association—By Electric Teieeraph—Copyrlgnt SYDNEY, September 29. Mr Herrod, secretary of the Fruitgrowers’ Federation of New South Wales, replying to a report from Wellington of an agitation by New Zealand fruitgrowers to secure admission of New Zealand fruit to Australian markets, says this ban is not on account of trade reasons, but because of the danger of the introduction of bacterial blight, more commonly known as “fire-blight.” Any proposal to lift the embargo would be most strenuously opposed by fruitgrowers throughout the length and breadth of the Commonwealth. Fortunately, Australia was free from the fire-blight disease, and every possible care must be taken to ensure that it does not secure entry, it is desired to emphasise that the embargo is not placed against the importation of New Zealand fruit as such, but against all countries in which fire-blight exists.
