Official Designation 

 Address 

 Considerable fear for the safety of the potato industry was awakened 

 towards the close of last year by the discovery of outbreaks of Irish 

 Blight in this and other States. Vigorous steps are being taken by all 

 the States in this matter. The local transfer of potatoes is under 

 strict supervision, and, as will be seen, ample provision has been 

 made in the Regulations to prevent the disease being introduced in 

 imports from other States. 



The Regulations fixing the fees to be charged for inspection, &c, 

 have been altered from time to time. Additions have also been made 

 to the list of diseases given on pages 24-5 of Part IV. These are as 

 follows : —
