SMALL BIRDS NUISANCE.
DISCUSSION AT EANGIOKA. At a meeting of local bodies held at Kangiora (says a Christchnrch paper) it .was suggested that it would be a good opportunity' to consider' a uniform method of dealing with the email birds nuisance. During a brief discussion, it i was found that most of the boards paid Bd. per dozen for old birds' heads and from 2d. to -Id. per dozen for eggs and young birds' heads. It was stated that d farmer in the Waikuku district, who prepared tho poisoned wheat himself, had drawn illG from the Kangiora Itoad Board Jast winter for birds' heads. Mr. J. -Marshall said the Bangiora Board had come to the conclusion that it was a mistake to supply poisoned grain to the farmers, the results having proved unsatisfactory. The board now left it to the farmers to procure or prepare tlio poisoned wheat, and under that, system over .£2OO was paid 3nst season for small birds' heads. Tho discussion did not result in any definite conclusion' being arrived at, and the matter dropped.
