Girl Catches Big Fish
Caught near Macandrew Bay, in the Otago Harbour, recently, by a 13-year-old girl, a large fish like a tunny measured sft Bin and weighed about 801 b. The girl saw the fish swimming in shallow water near some rocks, and obtained a fishing line with which she succeeded in hooking it. The fish’s weight and strength made the task of landing it a difficult one, but the girl finally brought it ashore.

In some cases the losses have been seriou9. The disease is stated to be a recognised poultry disease, and research officers from the Department of Agriculture’s station at Wallaceville have been carrying out tests with sulpha drugs. The experiments have been conducted for, a long time, so far without success.
