That the black spot disease was worse this spring than in other years was a statement by the president of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers’ Association (Mr F. W. Sisson) at the meeting of the association last night. He urged growers to spray at every opportunity. He believed that lime sulphur should, in a wet spring, be applied in a weaker state than in dry years. If the trees were burnt by the sulphur, black spot would become even more prevalent. Black spot could not be removed from fruit; sprays merely prevented it coming.
Love is the only way in which a man can get at home in this amazing, intriguing world. Love is revelation in knowledge, inspiration in art, motive in morality and the fullness of religious joy.
