NASSELLA TUSSOCK
Sir, —The chairman and deputychairman of the Nassella Tussock Board have “discovered” an infested area at Rakaia. Further, they are reluctantly compelled to believe that information of its existence was deliberately withheld. Is there a law against concealment, or has the board to “discover” penalties as it goes along, as well as “discover” that a national survey is imperative? Goodness knows, members of the board should know nassella when they see it; whether all landholders do is another thing. A great deal more to the point is extermination, and, as far as I can “discover,” members of the present board would be infinitely better employed at home minding their own business than in foisting such an absurd and ridiculous notion as treeplanting as the solution on to harassed and badgered landowners. Sense must be used if people are bossed, or—look out! —Yours, etc., ANTI-BUSYBODIES. September 30, 1949.
