Hares’ “Cussedness”
Hares are proving a costly nuisance to some tobacco growers in the Riwaka Valley, Nelson. The hares bite off the young tobacco plants at ground level. Why they did this was difficult to understand, said the Tobacco Research Station when asked for an explanation. The hares did not appear to eat or chew the plants. The station described it as “sheer cussedness on the part of the hares." One tobacco grower, Mr B. Arundel, told the Riwaka ward meeting of the New Zealand Tobacco Growers* Federation that hares had cost him more than £3OO for replanting during the last two seasons.—(P.A.)
