RABBIT DESTRUCTION
BOARD’S SUCCESSFUL WORK. So great has been the destruction of rabbits in the farm land south of Morrinsville since the Kiwitahi Rabbit Board started operations five years ago that the inspector, who is now classifying the area for differential rating purposes, stated at the board’s July meeting that out of 24,000 acres inspected to date 11,000 acres has been classified as “clean,” that is, no trace of a rabbit could be found on these farms. The inspector had tramped over practically every acre with a pack of dogs. The sight of a rabbit or of traces of rabbits was sufficient to cause a property to be classified as “infested.” Prior to 1933 large blocks of the board’s district were extensively infested with rabbits.
