POLITICAL NOTES.
TProm Our Correspondent/1 WELLINGTON. Sept. 8. THE AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE. The Agricultural and Stock Committee met this morning to consider the Orchard Peat and Noxious Weeds Bills. The committee refused to pass all the clauses of the former measure, except one dealing with phylloxera, but they were disposed to accept a clause prohibitive of sending infested fruit into" clean districts without the intervention of the local bodies, as provided for in the existing law, and it is probable that as a tentative measure they will accept a clause to compel orchardists to dress the stems and large branches of trees in the winter season. . The evidence taljen relative to frozen meat and the dairy industry was considered, and the Hon Richardson and Messrs Lowry and Buchanan were appointed to draft a report with regard to frozen meat freights, and Messrs Lawry, Duncan anld M'Lachlan relative to tlie dairy industry. The consideration of the Noxious Weeds Bill was postponed.
