Control of Noxious Weeds.
The problem of noxious weeds was introduced in a remit from the Waimarino and Waverley branch at the interprovincial conference of the Farmers’ Union at Wellington yesterday. While recognising that the responsibility of clearing land of noxious weeds should be on the occupier, when he was' in a position to do so, the remit suggested that the Departments of Public Works and Agriculture be urged to assume the responsibility and to take the necessary action to clear the following lands: Unoccupied Crown land, unoccupied Native land, State forest and reserves, and land in the possession of indigent occupiers. For this it was suggested that sufficient men be made available to carry out the work at the appropriate time, if necessary the men to be taken off public works for a period of from six weeks to two months. The remit was carried.
