§ MR. COURTHOPEI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether the Board of Agriculture will issue a leaflet dealing with the regulations for the spraying of fruit-trees now in force in British Columbia and with the mixtures used for spraying in that country.
§ MR. FULLERThe Board have issued numerous leaflets dealing with the spraying of fruit crops but they do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the issue of one on the lines suggested, and they are not able, therefore, to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.
§ MR. COURTHOPEAre the Board aware that in British Columbia the 1682 growers years ago gave up the system recommended now?
§ MR. FULLERThe hon. Gentleman must remember the difficulty arising from the difference of climatic conditions.
