§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture what assistance he can offer, 2289W or is offering, to enable agriculturists to cope with the ravages of the turnip-flea beetle?
Mr. HudsonI am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy of a leaflet issued by my Department and of an article in the Ministry's Journal containing information on measures for the control of this pest. Advice on control in individual cases may be obtained from county war agricultural executive committees. Experimental work is in progress to obtain further information and control measures and also to discover additional insecticides to replace those that are in short supply owing to war conditions.
