CONTROL OF WILD LIFE
REFORMS SUGGESTED.
ON A NATIONAL BASIS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, December 1. All pests, from rabbits to deer, 1 should be under the control of a national wild life department which should conduct research, said the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Parry, to a deputation from the Southland Acclimatisation Society. Along with others, the Southland Society should build a fund for the conservation of game for future generations. The fund could be assisted by enlarging the scope of the present 10s local license and increasing the licence up to 30s. Such a licence would include the shooting of all types of mallard duck and be available, in any district. Boundaries created unnecessary friction.
The breeding of quail and pheasants should be attempted again in Southland. The department was considering the acclimatisation in New Zealand of a hardy type of partridge and Argentine and Indian jungle fowl. The Minister was emphatic that any reforms would have to be introduced on a national basis.
