Not Like Phar Lap.
A novel and highly topical excuse was advanced at the Magistrate’s Court at Blenheim by a defendant charged with failing adequately to spray his orchard, or rather, his wife’s orchard. “We run pedigree stud cattle,” he told the magistrate, “audit •s the custom to tie the calves under certain of the trees in the orchard.. On that account we have to be careful With the spray, for we don ’t want them, nibbling at sprayed leaves and meeting the same fate as Phar Lap.” “I’m afraid I know nothing of Phar Lap,” commented Mr T. E. Maunsell, S.M., in imposing a fine of £2 and costs.
