RABBIT DESTRUCTION
“That represents one ratlbit for every 300 acres in the board’s district,’’ said a memlber at the December meeting of the T-e Akau North Babbit .Board at Tuakau, Waikato, when it was reported that since the ■board had decided to give a bonus of Is -a scalp for rabbits caught in its district .just on £9O had been p'aid out. It was pointed out that this sum would account for 1800 rabbits, which seemed a considerable number, but was really a comparatively small one when the fact that there were some half a million acres in the district was taken into account. The meeting decided to* continue the Is payment until January 15, by which time it will have had appro.x-i----mlately six months’ trial.
