(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.") Christchdroh, Friday. ' The report obtained at the instance of the Amuri Shcepfartners' Association b} r Mr Foster, Slieep Inspector, and Mr Duncan Rutherford, of F eslie Hills, on the spread of rabbits m the Amuri districts proved the existence of the vermin m alarming numbers, and quite beyond the control of the owners of the infested runs. He suggested thai the Amuri and North Canterbury farmers should unite to erect a rabbit-proof fence, to prevent their spreading beyond the Clarence River, and to take energetic measures for their extermination. This course was approved. The representatives of the Amuri Association will propound a scheme tor general approval. The Chairman, Mr J..D. Lance, said he would endeavorto get Parliamentary assistance, as the Crown lands would become worthless if rabbits gained a footing on them.
