FISH BY POST
J Although it was understood that I the system of carrying fish through the parcels post was to be given a three months' trial in Otago, and then, if practicable, to be applied to » other - districts, very littlo has been J heard of it (says the Southland Times), and information bearing upon the subject seems to be at a premium. Now that the trout-fisliing season is drawing near, interest in the system 1 is reviving, and anglers who have visions of fifteen pounders arriving at their homds while they remain 011 the 1 rivers, are wondering when some official statement as to the working of the system is likely to be forthcoming. There seems to be little doubt that the fishing season woull be tlie most advantageous time for a fair trial of the system, and it has even I'been suggested that, should the, Deapartment not be satisfied with the ye- • sult-s achieved in Otago, an application of the system to Southland fo? a period of three months would afford convincing evidence as fo its utility.
