That the hedgehog is a menace, that the hedgehog should be protected, that free transport of hedgehogs to the Hororata district be arranged, and that hedgehogs should not be discussed at all, were among the various opinions of delegates to the North Canterbury conference of the Farmers’ Union when Mr K. W. J. Hall (Hororata) proposed a protest against the destruction of hedgehogs, which, he said, were considered beneficial to farmers. Mr Hall said he had read that the Acclimatisation Society was paying a bonus on hedgehogs’ snouts, and he thought a protest should be made to the Minister for Internal Affairs. After some discussion a member rose and expressed sympathy with the debate, but, "may I submit that there is a war on?" Mr Hall's remit was passed on a show of hands.
He: "Will you sail with me' on the sea of matrimony?” She: “Yes, after you’ve made a raft of money.”
