DESTRUCTION OF RABBITS
SUPPORT FOR KILLER POLICY (New Zealand Press Association) D\JNEDIN. May 14. The Otago General Rehabilitation Farming Committee has unanimously decided to support a killer policy ot rabbit destruction. This decision was made at a meeting of the committee held in Dunedin last week. The meeting was attended by the chairmen and deputy-chairmen of farming subcommittees throughout Otago and in Oamaru, and representatives of the Lands Department, the State Advances Corporation and the Rehabilitation Department. •A member of the committee said that the resolution had been passed because of indecision on the subject by Cabinet. It was known that the Minister of Agriculture (Mr K. J. Holyoake) would have stated the Government’s policy two weeks ago. but members of the Cabinet could not reach an agreement. The member said that w’here rabbit boards hajj been tried out they seemed quite effective, and there was little use in “changing horses in mid-stream.”
