CACAO DISEASE IN SURINAM. 



The t'ulliiwing Frooliunatioii, dated Ajiril o, 1!H)2, 

 has been issued at St. Lucia against the iiujKtrtation of 

 cacao .seeds oi' plants from Surinam and other parts of 

 South America : — • 



' Whereas it ha.s been represented to me by the Imperial 

 DeiJiirtmcnt of Agriculture for the West Indies that a fungoirl 

 dLsease known as the ' WITCH BROOM,' is a serious enemy 

 to Cacao plantations and it is important that tlie disease 

 should be ke}it out of all the Cacao-growing areas in the 

 West Indies. 



And whereas the .said disease has lately apjieared in 

 Surinam and is believed to be gradually spreading over 

 Cacao cultivated areas on the Continent of South America. 



Now, Therefore, I., Harry Lanohorne Thompson, 

 Knight Conunander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint 

 Michael and St. George, Administrator of the Government of 

 the Island of St. Lucia, in virtue of the power and authority 

 in me vested by the Plant Protection Ordinance, 1895, do 

 Lereb\- prohibit, from the date hereof and until further 

 notice, the importation into this Colony, directly or indirectly 

 from the Continent of South America, East and South of 

 the Istlunus of Panama, of any Clacao i)lants or }iarts or 

 portions whatever of a Cacao tree.' 



Similar Proclamations are lieing issued ni other 

 ( 'olonirs.
