DESTRUCTION OF WILD PIGS
ROYALTY NOT SATISFACTORY. In connection with the wild pig nuisance the foliowin" letter has been sent to tlie secretary of the Fanners’ Union by the Minister of Agriculture (Hon. O’. J. Hawken):— "With refernec to the remit passed at the annual conference of the NewZealand Farmers’ Union and submitted to me with your letter cf October 24, in which the’ payment of a bounty for the destruction of wild pigs is advocated, I have to inform you that it lias been found from experience that the payment of a royalty on snouts is not working out satisfactory, and it is evident that some better means of coping with the pigs will have to be found. Mv Department is at the present time planning out experimental work witli poisons, and in the circumstances I am not prepared to recommend to tho Government that the bounty system be extended.’’
