GOESE.
I have recently read comprint* g( the ravages of imported peetc ««* «« rabbits, opossums and deer, bat I tin seen no mention of an eqnallv afi mum plant peat, namely, the pons*. A* I< write, I see before me acres and mm of whit should be nseful pasture laid, supporting herds of com and sheep to help to increase our output of nocfcneeded cheese, butter, meat and wooL Instead, during recent years, there Ims grown up an impenetrable i *' gorse, which is not only an eyesore but is also a constant menace of lire, aad | which steadily advances because wijr people will not take th© trouble tkimselves, nor pay anyone else th* few shillings necessary, to stem the 'tide before it becomes unmanageable. I thought the county council had power to deal with people who neglect norionft weeds. A substantial increase in the rates of owners of goree-infested lands would provide funds to pay men—on piecework or bv contract—to clear the land. " WHANG APARAOA
