Noxious-weeds Order.— The Mauriceville County Council has declared, with respect to its territory, that Californian thistle is not a noxious weed, and that gorse and pennyroyal are noxious weeds under the Act; further, that all its previous declarations regarding noxious weeds are revoked.

Importation of Animal-manures. —’The annual report of the Live-stock Division for 1925-26 states that during the year the importation from Australia and India of animal-manures sterilized under supervision did not, for various reasons, come up to expectations. Considerable difficulty' was experienced in obtaining freight to New Zealand for even small consignments, and in addition seamen’s and railway strikes in Australia hampered, and at times entirely suspended, business in this direction with New Zealand. The organization in regard to the supervision of the sterlization of ‘ animal-manures from India and Australia has been maintained, but it is a matter for consideration whether, in view of the limited imports to New Zealand of animal-manures, the Department should not now withdraw its organization from one at least of these countries and so confine the source of supply to one place.
