RABBIT CONTROL
fcONGAKAWA INSPECTOR’S REPORT' At the last monthly meeting of the Pongakawa Rabbit Board, the Inspector, Mr C. H. Davis, reported that during the month, his men had worked on a number of private properties together with Crown Lands in Valley Road, Edgecumbe and Tarawera areas, and Native Lands in Murupara, Edgecumbe, Tarawera and Lakes areas. A total of 9200 acres had been poisoned and 8240 acres fumigated. Continuing, the report stated that as the Murupara district was in good order, a man had been shifted to a camp on the Lands and Survey block at Rerewhakaitu. Throughout the whole area, wet and unsettled weather had interfered with poisoning operations, and a fair stretch of the country poisoned would require going over again in the near future. The results, on account of the wet weather had been bad, and it had been noticed that in certain parts of the area, rabbits were nesting, and all does caught were carrying young, or were milky. This was unusual at the present time ,of the year.
