Sir> —As rabbits are increasing rapidly through the district, ia'it not possible to enforce a poisoning campaign against these pests? I understand we are compelled by la.v to destroy rabbits on our properties, but have not seen evidence of being done. It is useless one settler poisoning, while hin neighbour looks on. I would venture to suggest a few day a be set aside for this W3rk, say, in the autumn—which I understand is the most suitable season—and it be the duty of the authorities, by appointing men for the specified occasion, to see the work is done, both on Maori and European lands at a given period. I have spoken to several settlers, who are quite prepared to comply with any practical suggestions, but co-opera-tion i 3 necessary, that we can rid ourselves of these pests. I don't wish to reflect any discredit upon any inspector, as it is impossible for him to see that every settler is complying with the Act.—l am, etc., h. JACOB.
