Advantages Of Poisoning In Rabbit Control
•In presenting his report to the Pongakawa Rabbit Board, the inSxoector, Mr C. Davis, said that since the last meeting 14,200 acres had been poisoned, and 11,890 acres had been fumigated, with phosphorised pollard, eyanogas and carbon sulphide. Results with poison h’ad been especially good in the Manawahe district. Crown lands in Valley Road, Rerewhakaitu, Ruawahia, Tarawera and Edgecumbe areas, and. Native lands in Edgecumbe, Tarawera, Lakes, Awakaponga, Rotomahana and the Coast, as well as the . State forests in Galatea and Valley Road, in addition to about 60 private farms had been worked.
As some ratepayers were still reluctant in placing land for poisoning operations., he would like to stress that it was to their advantage, while the weather was fine, to put up as large an area as possible, as with fumigating methods it was impossible to keep up with the increase during the breeding period, which lasts until the end of February.
