-"I know of no province in New Zealand, and. I have acted in a good many of theip, where, there are so many poaching prosecutions as in Canterbury, said Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., during the hearing of a poaching case at Christchurch (reports the "Press"). ."Canterbury has the reputation of being a good place for fishing and shooting, and the Acclimatisation Society is keeping up the high quality of the sport. LakiEllesmere is teeming with duck and swan, and they would disappear if it were not for the society and the rangers. That is the reason why the penalty for poaching must have a deterrent effect. It is unpleasant work that the ranger and honorary ranger have to do;* the thanks of the community are due to the honorary ranger. There is a class of persons who think that poaching is a fair game, and the only way to cure them is to make the risk too big to be taken."
In an address to fruitgrow.ers at Nelson, Mr.' Attwood, president of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers Federation, remarked that last- year bad times had been experienced; but he said in his experience the days of 20s and 40s a case were gone, and ho urged them to set their house in order so that 14s a case on the Home market would pay the growers. The first thing to do was to reduce the cost of production; the problem was the fruitgrowers', and the question of freights was the federation's. The federation would do its best to get the freights reduced. There was no better industry in the Dominion were it on a scund paying basis. Export had been handicapped by fruit not arriving in good condition. The federation had made representations to the shipping companies, which declared it was some inherent defect in the fruit that was responsible. Similar difficulties had been experienced in the cool stores; and the companies did their best to keep the fruit at the required ' temperature, but after a certain point difficulties were met with. As the result of experiments made in England, the federation could now go to the shipping companies and put them on the right track regarding 'past difficulties. '
