campaign
I'VE tried very hard to have all the
householders cooperate with MS dur
ing the lul Just before the mango sea
son came in, but unfortunately We did
not have much success stated Mr.
Giifard this morning. "There Is not
very much that we can do with eight
men to cover the enormous territory
we have.
"Stil we will do our best despite
the attitude OF the householders and
see II we cannot stop the spread at
at least. The trouble lies in the fact
that in nearly every case we have to
make three inspections. Our man will
ask the householder to clean up GER
tain fruit and he will promise to do
so. When the same place Is visited
the next day there has been nothing
done, however, and we have to keep
on going until 1t Is claned up. That
is part of the problem we are up
against and you can see for yourself
that all we can do Is not very much"
