GAME CONSERVATION.
MINISTER ADVOCATES A FUND.” • l (P.A.) INVERCARGILL Dec. 1. All pests, from rabbits to deer, should be under the control of a national wild life department, which should conduct research. The Southland Acclimatisation Society, with others, should build a fund for the conservation of game for future generations, the fund to be assisted by enlarging of the scope of the present 10s local licence, increasing it up to 30s. Such a licence should include shooting of all types of mallard, and be available in any district. Boundaries created unnecessary friction. The breeding of quail and pleasants should be attempted again in Southland. The Department is considering the acclimatisation in New Zealand of a hardy type of partridge from the Argentine, and Indian jungle fowl. These opinions were expressed by the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) when receiving a deputation from the Southland Acclimatisation Society. The Minister was emphatic that any reforms would have to be introduced on a national basis.-.
