Entomological and plant pathological enquiries

Abstract

Officers of the Department of Agriculture are always prepared to assist by giving such information and advice as is available on agricultural problems in reply to inquiries.

Although the man on the spot may fully understand the pest problems on his own particular area, if advice is to be given in reply to inquiries it is essential that not only specimens of the pests concerned and samples of the damage or the disease be forwarded, but also the fullest data on the outbreak must be given if a clear understanding of the position is to be gained by officers of the Department, from whom advice is sought.
