ERADICATION OF HYDATIDS
Proposal To Appoint Inspectors (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 26. At least 10 per cent, of the rural population were morons, and though they had the best intentions in the world, they were incapable of carrying out any hy-datid-eradication scheme, said Mr A. C. Cameron, of Dunedin, addressing the annual conference of the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand today. Boys from training schools became farm labourers and shepherds. said Mr Cameron, and were a little simple, though excellent workers. But they were incapable of remembering to dose dogs or dispose of offal. Mr Cameron, who was supported by Mr I. A. Barnett, of Dannevirke, was speaking to a motion which sought the setting up by local bodies of inspectors to police the compulsory dosing of dogs and disposal of offal.
The motion was carried by the conference, and the president (Mr J. S. Marshall, of Invercargill), and Dr. L. J. Wild, of Otaki, were appointed to meet the Minister of Agriculture (Mr K. J. Holyoake) to discuss it with him.
