Correction—No Vegetables

AN article in September PIM stated that Mrs. Nesbitt and Mr. A. Ireland, both of Wau, New Guinea, grew vegetables and fruit and supplied Bulolo. We are informed, by our Wau correspondent, that this is not so. Mrs. Nesbitt grows a little citrus but is mostly occupied growing coffee. Mr. Ireland grows no vegetables, either.

Disposal of sawdust, a prolific breeding ground for Rhinoceros beetles, is proving a problem in Fiji, due to the danger of fire spreading to the mills when the heaps are set alight. Chemical treatment would be very costly.
