FENCES AND WEEDS
CARE OF LEASED LAND
Trouble was caused by fences getting into disrepair on land leased by the Crown, Mr. G. Hamilton (Southland) said at the annual conference of the New Zealand Farmers' Union yesterday afternoon. When a tenant held an area on short lease he would not spend money on fences and this had a serious effect on farmers' bounding leased areas.
He moved: —
(1) "That where a farm has been abandoned, such farm is not to be let on short-term lease unless the boundary fences are in reasonable stockproof order." (2) "That if the Government desires to let them on short-notice term leases they be responsible for half the expense of putting the fences in order." After, the words "and noxious weeds kept in check" had been added to the second clause, the remit was adopted.
