RABBITS AND NOXIOUS WEEDS.
ON NATIVE LANDS. When n vote of £30,000 for the Native Department was under consideration in the House yesterday, members drew attention to a reduction in the sums for the destruction of rabbits on Native lands and li.r clearing Native lands of noxious weeds.
Sir A. P. Ngata said the matter of dealing with rabbits was really one for the Department of Agriculture and full provision would be made for this in the Supplementary Estimates. He said the Native Department was experimenting with sodium chlorate and a moth in combating ragwort and blackberries. So far as the vote was concerned, lie. said, the previous vote of £SOO had been merely a “drop in the ocean” and he preferred nothing at all. He believed the best remedy for dealing with noxious weeds was land settlement.
