CORRIGENDUM.
EMERGENCY (AGRICULTURAL POISONS)
REGULATIONS, 1955.
The first paragraph of the explanatory note to the above- mentioned Regulations, published as Gazette Notification No. Azi of 15th July, 1955, is hereby cancelled. The following should be substituted in lieu :-
Certain organic phosphorous compounds which were originally produced for war purposes have now been developed for use as insecticides and have been recently imported into the Colony for sale to farmers. Some of these insecticides, even when diluted, are highly dangerous to all forms of animal life and several accidental deaths (both of human beings and of cattle) have occurred as a result of lack of appreciation of the extreme care necessary when using them for agricultural purposes."
