it was noticeable that the disease was much more marked in places where 

 the cultivation was poor. Thus on one estate the older trees which 

 have been in an abandoned condition for several years were badly 

 affected, whilst close by young trees under good cultivation showed no 

 sign at all of the disease. 



In order to guard against the introduction of the disease into lime 

 producing islands in which it is not at present known, Proclamations 

 have been issued in the Colonies of the Leeward and Windward Islands 

 prohibiting the importation of all Citrus plants and parts of Citrus 

 plants, including their fruits,|from all parts of the West Indies excepting 

 those free of the disease e.'j. Antigua prohibits importations from British 

 Guiana or any island or place in the West Indies except the islands 

 of Dominica, Montserrat, St. Lucia and Grenada.
