Its magazine, "Forest and Bird,” says "much though the society sympathises with the farmer who sees his land Infested.wlth what to him is a weed, it must maintain as unjustifiable Its destruction by the deliberate spreading of a. disease of unproved possibilities, especially as it is a weed only in specialised places and a very valuable soil conservator elsewhere, as well as a habitat 1 of some of our smaller native birds and on many farms a shelter for livestock."
