PROTECTION OF OPOSSUMS.
POSITION OF ORCHARDXSTS. FRUIT OR SKINS? (Bj Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") DUNEDIN, this day. Speaking at the Otago Fruitgrowers' Conference on a remit from the Rangiora association that the protection on opossums be lifted for at least a distance of 3 miles from any orchard area, Mr. W. T. Goodwin (Assistant-Director of Agriculture) declared that the opossum did not create a danger to orchards. The movers of the proposal to lift protection were probably registered orchardists who did not pack a ease of fruit and wanted an opportunity to carry out trapping. The question was under the control of the Department of Internal Affairs. The conference decided, to await the opinions of the Rangiora delegates to the Dominion gathering.
